This small West Virginia town of 273 people sits in Ritchie County's rolling hills, accessible via US Route 50 from Clarksburg (25 miles) or Route 31 from Harrisville (15 miles). The area's winding country roads pass through typical Appalachian foothills with wooded slopes and farmland. Cairo's historic one-room schoolhouse from 1892 still stands as a testament to the community's long educational tradition.
