About Meriden

Home to around 160 people in northwest Iowa's Cherokee County, Meriden offers a quiet, close-knit rural setting with easy connections to neighboring communities. Local students attend the Marcus-Meriden-Cleghorn school district, shared with Marcus and Cleghorn. Thanks to U.S. 59 and Highway 3 meeting just outside town, residents can enjoy a peaceful small-town atmosphere while staying only minutes away from shopping, jobs, and healthcare in Cherokee.
