Cumnock is named after the Scottish town in Ayrshire, the home of an early settler named Straborn.[3]

The Cumnock community pioneered a farmhouse rental program designed to attract new families to the area by making farmhouses available for rent for $1.[4] This program has since spread to a number of other rural communities.[5]
