About Cuba City
Located in the rolling hills of southwest Wisconsin along Highway 80, Cuba City is a quiet, friendly community of about 2,100 residents straddling the border of Grant and Lafayette counties. It offers a relaxed small-town pace while sitting less than half an hour from regional hubs like Platteville and Dubuque. The town was originally called Yuba back in the mid-1800s, but residents changed the name to Cuba City after the post office kept mixing up their mail with other towns.
Today, Cuba City is best known as the "City of Presidents," with colorful shields honoring every U.S. president lining the downtown corridor. Daily life centers around strong local schools, well-kept parks, and classic Midwestern neighborliness. If you are looking for an affordable, close-knit place to settle down within an easy commute of nearby jobs and colleges, Cuba City has plenty of charm to offer.
