History

[edit]
Historical photo of the United Electric Coal Co's. Cuba Mine near Cuba, Fulton Co., Illinois. Shown is the largest dirt moving machine in USA at the time (1946), used for strip mine operations during the mid 20th century. It could move 1000 cubic yards of overburden in an hour. The overburden in Cuba is about 100 feet thick. The rotary shovel could take six cubic yards per minute.

Cuba was founded in 1837 when the two rival towns of Centerville and Middleton merged.[5] The new town was named after the island of Cuba.[6] The name could be in reference to the town of Havana, roughly fifteen miles to the southeast[7]. A post office has been in operation at Cuba since 1837.[8]
