The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗The community was founded in 1868 by American southerners traveling westward after the American Civil War. The city received its name from one settler who had once lived on the island of Cuba. Other early settlers of Cuba are Czech immigrants from Bohemia who settled in Cuba in the mid-1870s. Originally, the majority of the population of Cuba were of Czech and Austrian descent.
The entire town of Cuba moved to its present location in 1884 in order to be on the railroad that had been built through that region.
