Butetown, District and community in Cardiff, Wales
Located in southern Cardiff, Butetown extends along former docklands with modern developments and traditional residential areas near Cardiff Bay station.
The Second Marquess of Bute developed this area in the early 1800s as a model housing estate near Cardiff's growing port operations.
By 1911, the district contained one of Britain's largest multicultural populations outside London, with residents from more than 50 different nations.
Cardiff Bay railway station provides frequent connections to central Cardiff, while multiple bus lines serve the district's residential and commercial areas.
The district includes the island of Flat Holm, situated several miles offshore in the Bristol Channel, yet administratively part of Cardiff.
