What to Know About UPS in Cambridge, Iowa

Cambridge, Iowa, located in Story County, has a small population of around 820 residents, contributing to its tight-knit community atmosphere. As a rural area, the transportation infrastructure is primarily reliant on a network of highways and local roads. State Highway 210 runs through the city, facilitating connections to larger urban hubs like Ames, located approximately 15 miles to the west, and Des Moines, which is about 40 miles to the south. This accessibility allows UPS to efficiently service the area; however, rural routes may require additional time compared to deliveries in urban centers, particularly during peak seasons or adverse weather conditions.

In terms of geography, Cambridge experiences a humid continental climate, characterized by significant temperature variation between seasons. Winters can bring snow and icy conditions, while summers tend to be warm and occasionally humid. These weather conditions can influence UPS delivery schedules, with snowstorms or heavy rain potentially causing delays. The history of the region, once centered on agriculture, now embraces a mix of residential and small business growth, which can also impact delivery times as UPS navigates between rural drop-offs and the more concentrated delivery points found in nearby urban areas.
