Caiuctucuc

Caiuctucuc is a historic district situated at the confluence of the Potomac River and Wills Creek in western Cumberland. The area contained residential spaces, camps, and zones for crafts and daily activities.

The settlement took form in the early 1700s as an established community with structures for governance and daily life. The location retained its original name until mid-century, when settlers renamed the area.

The name reflects the original community that made this place their home and shaped how it was used. The settlement served as a center for trade and interaction between different groups.

The location lies where two rivers meet, making it easy to identify and visit. Visitors should know that today the area is shaped by modern development with limited visible remains from the historical period.

The site witnessed exchange between the local community and early European explorers who documented the settlement. These encounters marked a pivotal moment in how the region would be transformed.
