The History Of Meridian.
Established in 1893, Meridian was incorporated as a village in 1903 with a population of approximately 200 and a bustling business center. A creamery was built in 1897, and other dairy-related businesses followed, as Meridian established itself as a dairy center for the state. This part of the community’s history is still celebrated annually during Meridian Dairy Days celebrated annually in June. Dairy Days has been observed in one form or another since 1929.
Many of the early settlers planted large fruit orchards, and through the 1940’s Meridian was the home of a large fruit growing, packing and shipping industry. Local apiaries were among the largest in the nation, as bees were necessary to the fruit growing industry. These and other early agricultural industries were later joined by businesses connected with the timber and housing industries.
Meridian Entertainment.
Family entertainment overflows at the local water park, Roaring Springs. Sitting right next door is Wahooz, offering year-round go carts, bumper boats, miniature golf, batting cages, laser tag, bowling, an arcade and grill. The Meridian Speedway is another fun summer attraction for the city.
The Village.
The Village at Meridian is an outdoor shopping mall featuring specialty retail stores, restaurants, an upscale movie theater with private seating, a fitness center, arcade/ bowling, and an outdoor ice rink (winter). Relax in the ample outdoor seating, run through the playground or gather around the fountain showcasing water displays every hour with lights and music.
