Named after a railroad family, Hazard was the original name
for this quiet yet friendly community developed in December
1869. The name was changed from Hazard to Meriden after
the locals put in a request to the U.S. Postal Service in 1874.
Municipality was granted in 1882 and at its height this
communities population grew to over 400 people. Although
current population has declined to 184 people, this is still a
very self-sufficient community. Residents have raised
money to construct a fire station/city hall and a multi-purpose
community center. One event to help raise funds is
Meriden's annual Pancake Day in March.
