In 1887, John Bartholomew's Gazetteer of the British Isles described Cambusnethan like this:
Cambusnethan, par. and vil. (part of Wishaw), N. Lanarkshire, 1½ mile NE. of Wishaw ry. sta.-- par., 16,608 ac., pop. 20,823; vil., pop. 1829. The par. contains Wishaw, Newmains, Overtown, Coltness Ironworks, part of Shotts Ironworks, and other towns and vils. engaged in the iron trade. Near the Clyde, and 1¼ mile SW. of Wishaw ry. sta., is C. House.
Cambusnethan through time
A Vision of Britain through Time includes a large library of local statistics for administrative units. For the best overall sense of how the area containing Cambusnethan has changed, please see our redistricted information for the modern district of North Lanarkshire. More detailed statistical data are available under Units and statistics, which includes both administrative units covering Cambusnethan and units named after it.
