Cuba City, Wisconsin

Welcome to "The City of Presidents"

Cuba City is a community of 2,086 people located in the southwest corner of Wisconsin. This location provides a unique opportunity to serve the states of Iowa and Illinois, as well as Wisconsin.

The City-owned Kaster-McClain Industrial Park is ready for occupancy, with all utilities immediately available to the site.

A work force of over 23,000 people is available within a 15-mile radius of the City. A 20-mile radius will add an additional 66,000 people to that number. You will find that all of these people share a very high work ethic.

All citizens of the community take pride in their city, and the results are obvious to all who enter. One example of that pride is the "Parade of Presidents" down Main Street. The presidential shields were erected in honor of the nation's bicentennial and have been maintained since that time.
