Do you know of Cardiff ???This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Cardiff. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Cardiff. We found mention of Cardiff as a post office (see Mentions and References below), but can't determine its location - other than being located somewhere in Warren County, Mississippi. It's common that the post office is named the same as the community in which it's located (although that's not always case). In this case, we can't match this post office to any of the existing communities in our gazetteer. From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened in 1848 and closed in 1886. This entry could have originated in error. It might be that a source had a misprint, was simply wrong or we made a transcription error while referencing it. Many of the documents we reference are from the 1800s and the early 1900s, with some easier to read than others. Part of the difficulty in identifying whether a name is a post office or a community lies with how Post Offices were named. We've prepared an article with our understanding of how post offices were named: Naming of Post Offices. Communities Also Named Cardiff ...We found sixteen communities that share the name Cardiff. Within Mississippi, the name Cardiff is unique. Beyond Mississippi, we know of another sixteen communities that are located throughout in the United States and Canada. Of these sixteen communities, fourteen are located in the United States and two are in Canada.
Miscellaneous References and Mentions for Cardiff ...We've created the following list to keep track of the sources that proved useful in adding to our knowledge about Cardiff: Found in a comprehensive list of Post Offices that was created by Cameron Blevins and Richard Helbock.<2> Table of U.S. Post Offices in the United States (Jan. 1851)
