Welcome to Cairns ...

So far, we found very little information about Cairns. The little that we've found leads us believe that the community is historic.<1>

We've added Cairns to our Gazetteer with the hope that we can develop more information. If you can help us with Cairns, please Contact Us.

Adding Cairns to Our Gazetteer ...

As we work on our Gazetteer, we occasionally find mention of a community that is new to us. When we find such a community, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope of adding more information in the future.

The earliest source we've referenced which mentioned Cairns was in the book titled SPV's Comprehensive Railroad Atlas of North America - Western Canada.

Footnotes ...

<1>We use the term 'Historic' broadly and it generally means that the community no longer exists. However, it can also mean that the community might still exist, but was significantly larger or had a more 'official' existence in the past than it does now. Unfortunately our sources of data have proven to be unreliable. If you can provide us with more specific information about Cairns, please let us know so that we can improve our accuracy.
<2>When there's a risk of an area code running out of phone numbers, an 'Overlay Area Code' is created that has the same geographic boundaries as the existing area code. In this case, the 780 code has been Overlayed with one of the following codes: 368, 587 or 825. New phone numbers in the Cairns area will be assigned with one of these codes: 780, 368, 587 or 825. As a result, placing a call in the Cairns area will require 10-digit dialing (where you enter both the area code and then the phone number).
