The City was formed in 1969 when the communities of Soddy and Daisy, along with nearby developed areas along U.S. Highway 27, merged to form Soddy-Daisy. It is rapidly becoming a bedroom community of nearby Chattanooga and is part of the Chattanooga, TN–GA Metropolitan Statistical Area. Sequoyah Nuclear Generating Station is located in Soddy-Daisy.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 23.8 square miles (61.7 km²), of which, 23.0 square miles (59.6 km²) of it is land and 0.8 square miles (2.0 km²) of it (3.32%) is water.
There is a county map from 1836 naming the creek that runs through Soddy as "Sauda Creek". This is possibly a Cherokee indian name and where the city got it's name from.
