The young open cluster Collinder 419 surrounds the massive O-star, HD 193322, that is itself a remarkable multiple star system containing at least four components. We present a discussion of the cluster distance based upon new spectral classifications of the brighter members and an analysis of astrometric and photometric data from the UCAC3 catalog. We determine an average cluster reddening of E(B-V)=0.37 +/- 0.05 and a cluster distance of 741 +/- 36 pc. The cluster probably contains a number of very young stars that may include a reddened M3 III star, IRAS 20161+4035.
