However, several years later, in 1874, it changed its name to its current one, the Sand Flat Baptist Church of Christ. By 1882 the community had a post office under the name "Cuba", but it was closed in 1904.[4] Following the closing of the post office, the area became known by the current name of Sand Flat.[3]
