Splott, Residential suburb in Cardiff, United Kingdom

The district contains rows of Victorian terraced houses built during the industrial expansion of Cardiff in the late 19th century.

The area transformed from Upper Splott and Lower Splott Farms into an urban settlement to accommodate workers of East Moors Steelworks in 1891.

Several Welsh-language chapels emerged in the district after 1891 when Welsh-speaking workers moved to the area for steel industry employment.

The district maintains multiple community facilities, including Splott Park, local schools, shops, and direct access to Cardiff city center.

The name Splott appears in historical documents from 1440 and might derive from 'God's Plot' due to its previous ownership by the Bishop of Llandaff.
