History

Cairo was originally called “Fairview”, and under the latter name was founded in 1858. The village was named after Cairo, Egypt, perhaps via Cairo, Illinois. A post office called Cairo has been in operation since 1860.

The Mitchell Petroglyph Archeological Site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1969.
