Meridian is best known within Idaho for being the state’s second-largest city. It spreads across the Treasure Valley on the western Snake River Plain, between Boise’s urban core and the agricultural lands of Canyon County; the Boise River passes south of the city. Meridian took its name from the Boise Meridian, a north–south survey line used in the federal land system. Its annual Dairy Days celebration recalls the dairying that long supported this part of Ada County, linking today’s fast-growing city with its farming heritage.
