About Cairo

Cairo is a quiet community in Ritchie County with fewer than two hundred residents. Set along the North Fork of the Hughes River, it offers a laid-back rural atmosphere where nature is always right outside your door. The North Bend Rail Trail runs right through the center of town, making it easy to hop on a bike or walk through the scenic countryside toward nearby North Bend State Park. With warm summers, cool winters, and historic roots dating back to the late 1800s, Cairo appeals to anyone looking for genuine peace and small-town simplicity.
