About Cairnbrook

Tucked into the hills of Somerset County, Cairnbrook is a quiet community along Route 160, just north of Central City. The town was founded in 1912 by the Loyalhanna Coal and Coke Company, which carefully planned the entire village from the ground up. Residential streets, neighborhood churches, local storefronts, and classic company-built houses were all established together, giving the area a cohesive, close-knit feel that has lasted for over a century.
