Cuba City, located in Southwest Wisconsin, has a pretty great naming legend. Three men, in the 1870s, were given the opportunity to name the town, but couldn’t agree. One wanted Stephensville (who coincidentally, we’re sure, was named John Stephens). Another, Solomon Craiglow, wanted Yuba. The third did not care. The story continues, that when Stephens demanded it be called Stephensville, Craiglow said, “You b’ damned we won’t!” J. Stephen responded quickly, “That’s it. We’ll call it Yuba!” Sometime later, the town discovered there was another Yuba and changed to Cuba and through another story for another post, was finally named Cuba City in the 1920s.
