Cuba was named for the Caribbean island Cuba, which at the time defenders of slavery hoped would be acquired from Spain.[2] Under the influence of tobacco farming and subsequent trade and political interests, the community was named in 1854 during the release of the Ostend Manifesto.[3] The Cuba post office, which had been opened in 1858, closed in 1905.[2]
