Cairo is a historic city located at the confluence of the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers in southern Illinois. Founded in 1837, the city was named after Cairo, Egypt, due to its similar position at the meeting point of major waterways.
During the American Civil War, Cairo served as an important strategic location and supply base for Union forces. The city experienced significant economic growth in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as a major river port and railroad hub.
Cairo's architectural heritage reflects its prosperous past, with several historic buildings and structures still standing today, though many face preservation challenges. The city's unique location and history have influenced its cultural development, blending river town traditions with the broader cultural heritage of the American Midwest.
