About Meridian

Located about 45 miles northwest of Waco, Meridian serves as the welcoming seat of Bosque County. Daily life centers around the historic courthouse square, marked by an impressive 1886 Victorian limestone courthouse with a working clock tower. It offers a classic rural Texas atmosphere where local shops frame the streets, parking is easy, and people genuinely know their neighbors.

Downtown Meridian Texas (1 of 1)

The surrounding countryside sits right where rolling prairies meet the northern edge of the Texas Hill Country, bordered by working cattle ranches, limestone bluffs, and quiet river valleys. Just three miles southwest of town, Meridian State Park gives residents quick access to fishing, hiking trails, and paddling on a scenic lake. With its own local school district and plenty of room to breathe, Meridian is a comfortable choice for anyone looking for small-town peace and a slower pace.
