Cairo, Illinois Cairo Illinois History
Cairo, Illinois is largely abandoned due to a combination of economic decline from changing transportation (loss of river/rail trade), severe racial tension and violence, and repeated devastating floods, which together caused a massive population exodus from its peak of 15,000 in the 1920s to under 2,000 today, leaving many buildings empty.
