A Walk Through Cuba, Missouri: The Mural City of Route 66

Welcome to Cuba, Missouri! Also known as the Route 66 Mural City, Cuba is known for its 14 murals that depict different aspects of the town's history and culture. The murals are a popular tourist attraction, and they help to tell the story of Cuba's unique place in American history.
Cuba was platted in 1857 when it was certain the railroad would be extended to that point. It was named after the island of Cuba. President Harry S. Truman visited Cuba during a tour of U.S. Route 66. He surveyed the property that would eventually become Indian Hills Lake. Indian Hills Lake was originally known as "Indian Head Lake" because the skull of a Native American was found during excavation.
