About Cuba

Tucked into the rolling hills of Allegany County in Western New York, Cuba is a quiet, close-knit community of about 3,000 residents. Sitting right along Interstate 86, it offers the peace of rural living with an easy drive to neighboring hubs like Olean. Cuba Lake serves as a favorite local gathering spot, drawing residents out for boating, fishing, and summer weekends on the water.

In the village, the town's dairy heritage is still going strong at the Cuba Cheese Shoppe on Genesee Street, a popular stop for fresh cheese curds and local goods. Tree-lined streets showcase historic Victorian homes, while the Genesee Valley Greenway trail and the landmark barn at Empire City Farms offer great spots for an afternoon walk. It is a scenic, grounded place with a relaxed pace and a strong sense of community.
