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]
