The college boat houses are along the River Cam, downstream of Victoria Bridge.
Rowing first started at Cambridge in 1825, before it was introduced at Oxford. The first College boat club established was St. Johns, closely followed by Trinity. By 1830 Jesus, Magdalene, Emmanuel, Christ’s, Corpus Christi and Peterhouse Colleges had also founded boat clubs, and by 1835 a total of fifteen Colleges had them. Newnham ladies founded the first women’s boat club in 1896.
The first College boathouse was built for Trinity in 1872, and by the end of the nineteenth century most of the Colleges had built, or started to build, boathouses of their own.
