Cadishead is a suburban area located in the borough of Salford, Greater Manchester, England. The name Cadishead is believed to derive from the Old English words "caed" (meaning "battle") and "scead" (meaning "shelter"), suggesting that the area may have been used as a place of refuge during times of conflict in the past.

The earliest recorded history of Cadishead dates back to the Domesday Book of 1086, which describes the area as being owned by the Earl of Chester. Over the centuries, Cadishead remained a rural farming community, with a population of just a few hundred people.

In the 19th century, the development of the Manchester Ship Canal brought significant changes to Cadishead. The canal, which opened in 1894, transformed the area into a major industrial hub, with a range of factories and warehouses springing up along its banks. This brought an influx of workers to the area, and the population of Cadishead grew rapidly.

During the 20th century, Cadishead continued to grow and develop, with new housing estates and amenities being built to cater for the needs of the expanding population. Today, Cadishead is a thriving suburban community, with a population of around 10,000 people. It is known for its strong community spirit and its proximity to natural beauty spots, including Dunham Massey and Lymm Dam.
