Cuba is a growing and prosperous community nestled comfortably in the peaceful and beautiful ozarks. Located in the heart of country adventure and within minutes of activities the whole family can enjoy. If you move to Cuba from any distance, you will be quite pleasantly surprised to learn that there are no city taxes on property or real estate; there is a one-cent city general tax and a one-half cent city transportation tax, specifically used for maintaining the streets.
Cuba also earns the title "Gateway to the Ozarks". The community offers twenty rustic lodges and campgrounds, three rafting rivers, and numerous lakes that provide the best in hunting, fishing, canoeing, swimming, and skiing.
The annual Crawford County Fair is one of the bigger attractions held in Cuba. This is its 50th year in modern times, although it goes back many more years to the first one in 1902. These four days are filled with family fun, carnival rides, professional entertainment, contests, 4-H entries and an exciting auction of beef raised by 4-H boys and girls, as well as a fair queen and prince and princess contest.
Cuba's children are educated by the Cuba School District. A renovation of the elementary and middle school facility and the construction of a new modern high school, all at a cost of more than $4 million, was recently completed. The district has received the coveted full accreditation of the North Central Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges. Below are links and contact information for Cuba Schools.
