East Cambridge is a neighborhood of Cambridge, Massachusetts. Referred to as Area 1, East Cambridge is bounded by the Charles River on the East, the McGrath-O'Brien Highway on the North, Binney Street on the South, and the railroad tracks on the West. "East Cambridge Begins at The Tracks" was a controversial slogan in the early 20th Century which challenged neighborhood honor between the residents of East Cambridge (Area 1) and Wellington-Harrington (Area 3).
During the late 1990s and early 2000s, East Cambridge and its neighbor Lechmere Square have been undergoing a gentrification process, as old factories are converted into condominiums and office space.
