The heart of Cairo’s commercial historic district is situated along South Broad Street and is largely intact.

The plaza parks make it a very pedestrian friendly area. A nice variety of commercial styles from the late-19th and early- to mid-20th century are present.

Most of these historic storefronts are still in use, and while few serve their original purposes, they continue to be the center of the community.
