Cubbage Pond (also known as Cabbage Pond)[1] is a reservoir on Cedar Creek in Sussex County, Delaware, United States, about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) east of Lincoln.[2] It is approximately 0.5 miles (0.80 km) long.[1]

Cubbage Pond Mill has stood on this site since about 1785, built originally by John and William Draper. It was last operated by Samuel Cubbage from 1908 to 1917.[3] He died in 1917 and the mill was inherited by his widow Ida.[4]
