History

Cayuga was a point on the Natchez Trace, the stop after Rocky Springs when heading northeast toward Nashville. [3] It lay within the Choctaw Nation, just outside the Anglo-Spanish colonial Natchez District. [3] The community is named after Cayuga Lake, in New York. [4] Cayuga was once home to two churches. [5] A post office called Cayuga was established in 1829, and remained in operation until 1906. [6] A variant name was "Cayuga Plantation". [2]
