Just Little About Cuba Missouri

How Cuba Got It's Name
One pioneer by the name of George Jamison wanted to name the town after his wife, Amanda - he already had a post office named after her just a mile and a half west of town. Someone suggested it be named after the island of Cuba - it was much in the news at that time due to the brutish rule of Spain over its people, evoking much sympathy among the Americans. (There was even talk of the United States buying the island.)

The dilemma was resolved in a novel way. Although the details have been lost in the mists of time, the story is that a stick of wood - of what species, how tall and of what girth, we don't know - was stood on end, and if it fell a certain way, the name would be Cuba. Another version says that a stick was tossed into the air with the same rules as in the other story.

Thus it was that in 1857, the beginning of Cuba was less than auspicious. Yet, there was a hint of boldness, of innovation in its style. This town had a spirit, an energy and a vision that over the years would set it apart from most small rural communities - and large ones too. These attributes would lead it to successes far beyond the wildest expectations - even dreams - of Jamison and his co-founder Wesley Smith, of whom it is thought to have come up with the suggestion of Cuba for the name.

Today, the city has a mayor-council form of government, with city wide planning and zoning, along with modern, well-trained police and fire departments.

Water
Pure, potable water in abundance has played a great part in Cuba's history. Jerome Calkins, a farmer/businessman, drilled many wells in Cuba. These wells were an important factor in the early development of the town. More wells and more storage tanks were added over the years.

Today, Cuba has four deep wells, and three water towers with a storage capacity of 675,000 gallons above ground. The city daily pumps about one-half million gallons of the purest, best tasting water to be found anywhere. That's important if you drink the stuff. It's fluoridated, too, for stronger, healthier teeth! The city can pump as many as 750,000 gallons of water a day, if needed. That's very important if you have to fight a fire.

In 1996, Cuba was named second only to Branson as the Missouri town having water of the best quality and quantity. Nationally, Cuba sits in one of seven regions that has been designated the best for quality of air and water. Cuba also has a modern, state-monitored sewage treatment plant.

Cuba is Fun with Plenty of Recreation and Entertainment
The annual Crawford County Fair is one of the bigger attractions held in Cuba. This is its 50th year in modern times, although it goes back many more years to the first one in 1902. These four days are filled with family fun, carnival rides, professional entertainment, contests, 4-H entries and an exciting auction of beef raised by 4-H boys and girls, as well as a fair queen and prince and princess contest.

A $400.000 60-acre piece of property was recently donated to the City of Cuba by Ernie Hood, to be used by the county fair board for year-round activities and entertainment. It was used for the county fair, for the first time in 1996.

The Cuba Rough Riders, a saddle club for young and old, holds several horse shows each year, including a rodeo and gaited horse competition. They have completely renovated their entire arena into one of the best in this area.

Cuba has an indoor theater as well as a drive-in movie and a bowling alley. Fishing and hunting opportunities abound in the area's popular rivers and wooded areas, along with the floating or rafting. The turkey and deer seasons are very popular in the county, although there's plenty of quail, squirrel and rabbit too.

You can meet a lot of friendly people on the professionally designed 9-hole golf course and country club with watered greens just a short distance south of Cuba off Highway 19 on Highway O.

The Recklein Memorial Auditorium hosts many entertainment events during the year, as well as the annual Crafts and Arts Show put on by the Cuba Arts Council. This organization often brings professional entertainment to perform in the auditorium.
