History

Algiers was laid out in 1868.[2] The community was named after Algiers, the capital of Algeria.[3] An old variant name of the community was called Delectible.[1]

Homer E. Capehart, a U.S. Senator from Indiana and a pioneer in the jukebox and record player industry[4] was born in Algiers in 1897, the son of a local tenant farmer.[5]

A post office called Algiers was established in 1885, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1955.[6]

The town's name is part of the namesake of the Algiers, Winslow and Western Railway which operates within Pike County.
