Η Κύμη είναι κωμόπολη και λιμάνι του νομού Εύβοιας. Βρίσκεται στη μέση της ανατολικής πλευράς του νησιού και έχει ιστορία αιώνων ως ναυτική πόλη.
Από την εποχή του αποικισμού στην αρχαιότητα είναι γνωστές δύο ομώνυμες πόλεις: η Κύμη της Αιολίδας και η Κύμη (Cuma) της Καμπανίας, που θεωρείται η πρώτη ελληνική αποικία στη Δύση. Γεγονός που αποδεικνύει την ακμή της δεύτερης αυτής αποικιακής πόλης είναι ότι όταν καταστράφηκε, από την έκρηξη του Βεζούβιου, ξαναχτίστηκε ως νέα Πόλη, η γνωστή Νάπολη της Ιταλίας. Χαρακτηριστικό της πολιτιστικής ακμής της είναι η ύπαρξη της αρχαίας μάντισσας Κυμαίας Σίβυλλας, που έχει απαθανατίσει ο Μιχαήλ Άγγελος στις περίφημες τοιχογραφίες του στην οροφή της Καπέλα Σιστίνα.

Από τα μέσα του 19ου αιώνα ως τις αρχές του 20ου είναι η εποχή που η Κύμη γνώρισε μέρες νεότερης ακμής στον οικονομικό, κοινωνικό και πολιτιστικό τομέα, εξαιτίας του διαμετακομιστικού εμπορίου που διεξήγαγε με εμπορικά κέντρα του Εύξεινου Πόντου και της Γαλλίας. Κυμαίοι καραβοκύρηδες μεταφέρουν τα προϊόντα της Κύμης και ιδιαίτερα το φημισμένο μαύρο κρασί της στα λιμάνια αυτά και κυρίως στη Μασσαλία, όπου το αγοράζουν οι Γάλλοι για να χρωματίζουν τα δικά τους κρασιά.
