Message from the Mayor of Cayuga
Welcome to Cayuga. The main street has a rural brickcharm to it and many older houses reflecting the prosperous past still stand. It very much retains its small town character. Uniquely isolated for years by the Six Nations Indian Reservation to the North and the Lake to the South, it has its own independent atmosphere and does not feel attached to any one larger community. It is also uniquely located among larger communities on both the American and Canadian sides of the border boasting television reception from Toronto, Buffalo, Hamilton, Kitchener and Erie.
Cayuga is the name of a village in the province of Ontario, Canada located where Ontario King's Highway #3 (the TalbotTrail) crosses the Grand River. It was incorporated in 1859 as county seat for Haldimand County, Ontario because of its central location. It is named after the Cayuga, one of the Six Nations of the Grand River Indians who were awarded land in the area for siding with the British in the War of 1812. As the county seat, it is the location of the Court House, jail and Museum. In the late 1700's and early 1800's, public hangings were held in the Court yard and the prisoners buried on site.
In modern times, Cayuga is known for car racing. The oldest continually operating Dragstrip in Canada and the fastest high bank oval race track in Canada, are near the townsite and have used the name Cayuga.
The drag strip was originally a runwaybuilt for training British Commonwealth pilots in the Second World War.
