Cayuga is an unincorporated community in Livingston County, Illinois, United States, and is located northeast of Pontiac.

History

The Chicago & Alton Railroad was built through the area in 1853. Cayuga was platted by Thomas F. Norton two years later, for Corydon Weed.[1] Population peaked as a village with 160 people in 1898. What would become Route 66 was built along Cayuga in the 1910s. At one point there was a school and two churches, a Presbyterian and a Lutheran.[2] The only documented owner of the grain elevator was the defunct Middle Division Elevator Co.[2] By 1955 the population had dropped to only 60 people.[3]
