Abraham Lincoln, simply known as Lincoln, is a ward and an urban settlement in Artemisa, Cuba. The settlement is named after the 16th president of the United States, Abraham Lincoln. It is located 4 kilometers away from the provincial capital of Artemisa, and 78 kilometers from the capital of Cuba, Havana.[2]
Lincoln was formerly part of the barrio of Pijirigua, in the same municipality of Artemisa.[3]
The settlement, and the sugar mill with the same name, was originally named Lincoln in 1917, and the name was later changed to Andorra, and finally Abraham Lincoln,[2][4] in 1920.[5] It was completed by the Manuel Galdo y Compañía.[6]
Currently, the sugar mill contains only a few structures, including two chimneys, which are all currently abandoned, after the mill closed in 2009,[4] due to the Tarea Alvaro Reynoso.[6]
Lincoln has the Julio Diaz Gonzalez University of Artemisa,[7] and a junior high school that was originally the distillery of the town.[4]
The urban settlement of Lincoln had a population of 2,153 in 1981, 1,532 in 2002, and a population of 1,434 in 2012, decreasing each census year.[1]
