Meriden CT Community Profile & History
Meriden, Connecticut is situated midway between the cities of New Haven and Hartford. Originally a farming town, Meriden quickly grew into an industrial center, as the Quinnipiac River, which runs through the city, provided power for mills and factories. In the late 18th Century, Meriden was such a prominent producer of silver and pewterware that it became known as "the Silver City”.
Today, Meriden is still a thriving commercial and industrial center, providing its citizens with fine services and a strong sense of community. The residents of Meriden reflect its diversity, covering a broad spectrum of occupations: skilled workers, small businessmen, professionals, and corporate managers. In keeping with its diversity, Meriden has churches that serve all faiths. Meriden's Midstate hospital provides full health care services. A fine public school system serves the needs of the city's youth. Meriden has ten city parks, a municipal golf course, two municipal swimming pools, and several tennis courts to keep the family busy and active.
Housing in Meriden has evolved from older, multi-family and single dwellings on city lots to larger properties on the outskirts. Meriden sits within a 30-minute drive of several major colleges and universities, including Yale University, Wesleyan University, Trinity College, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, the University of New Haven, the University of Hartford, Central Connecticut State University, Southern Connecticut State College, Albertus Magnus College, and St. Joseph College.
