    • We all know - and mostly love - Cuba Street, but not many of us are familiar with the street name's origin. Despite having popular local haunts like Havana Bar and Fidel’s Café related to the country of Cuba, it’s actually named after an early settler ship called Cuba, which arrived on our fair shores in 1840.
