In the early 1890s Cardiff was established as a company town by New England investors that sought to profit from the abundant iron ore near Walden Ridge. Named for Cardiff in Wales, it is located in Roane County in eastern portion of the state of Tennessee. The Cardiff Coal and Iron Company went bankrupt a few year later and the town was practically abandoned. Today, most of its territory mostly lies within the city limits of Rockwood. Interstate 40 runs north of the city while US Route 27 passes through the city. The Watts Bar Lake lies near the town's southern boundary.
