Cardiff, Illinois
Cardiff is a ghost town in Livingston County, Illinois, United States[1]. Founded as a coal mining town in 1899, it boomed in its first few years. Rapid growth ceased after accidents in the mines in 1903[2], and the closure of the mines in 1912 soon led to the community's demise. It is located in Round Grove Township[3], between the villages of Campus and Reddick.
