==History== Cuyuna was incorporated in 1910. Cuyuna, and the iron ore range on which it is situated, were named by and for [[Cuyler Adams]], and for his dog, Una, who accompanied him in many lone prospecting trips. Cuyler Adams was a prospector, discoverer, and then mine owner of the Cuyuna range. Cuyler Adams affirmed the discovery of workable ore deposits nearby, and credited jointly to himself and the valuable aid of Una.<ref>{{cite book|last=Upham|first=Warren|title=Minnesota Place Names: A Geographical Encyclopedia|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ho23eS5qjNgC&pg=PA158|year=2001|publisher=Minnesota Historical Society Press|isbn=978-0-87351-396-8|page=158}}</ref> The Rabbit Lake Band of [[Mississippi Chippewa]] historically lived in the Cuyuna area. Under the authority of the 1855 Treaty of Washington ({{USStat|10|1165}}), the Rabbit Lake Indian Reservation was established, encompassing an area from where [[Riverton, Minnesota|Riverton]] to Cuyuna are located. After the [[Dakota War of 1862]], majority of the Rabbit Lake Band were removed to the area about [[Leech Lake]] and eventually to the [[White Earth Indian Reservation]], and minority of the remaining Rabbit Lake Band members amalgamating with the [[Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe]] to their south. After they were removed there was little settlement in the area until the beginning of a mining village named Cuyuna in 1906. Cuyuna was [[plat]]ted in November 1908.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.ci.cuyuna.mn.us/index.asp?Type=B_BASIC&SEC=%7B865A0B87-E54D-465A-B7FB-0499735EDE93%7D |title=History of Cuyuna |access-date=2013-02-20 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304065204/http://www.ci.cuyuna.mn.us/index.asp?Type=B_BASIC&SEC=%7B865A0B87-E54D-465A-B7FB-0499735EDE93%7D |archive-date=2016-03-04 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
