Cuyuna was officially platted November 14, 1908 one of the first three after Deerwood and Emily. Shortly after the official plat was filed, the brick bank building was constructed along with a school...a one-room, 30 by 40-foot structure between Rabbit lake and the Kennedy mine. The bank building is now city hall. The Kennedy mine eventually was allowed to flood and filled what is now the East Rabbit Lake.
At one time, Cuyuna was had a population of nearly 1,000. Immigrants mostly from Europe, came in the early 1900's to fulfill their dream for a better life.
Today Cuyuna has a population of about 100.
The area around Cuyuna is now known for the beautiful mine lakes and hilly terrain. The Cuyuna Lakes Trail is scheduled to go near town.
The world famous Woodtick Inn hosts summer wood tick races drawing fun seekers from all over the U.S. The recently expanded Woodtick features Heggies Pizza, off-sale liquor, free popcorn/peanuts and the coldest beer in town.
