The Heart of the
Treasure Valley
View Meridian on Google Maps and
you’ll see that it is smack dab in
the center of the Treasure Valley.
Bordered by the cities of Nampa,
Caldwell, Middleton, Eagle, Kuna,
and Boise, Meridian is the central
location for family fun.
Meridian is just 15 miles west of
Boise, the state capital and largest
city in Idaho. It’s just 10 miles east
of Nampa, the third-largest city in
Idaho. It’s also just a stone’s throw
away from the Treasure Valley’s
other, smaller cities, making it an
easy destination from just about
anywhere. Meridian has seen a huge
growth explosion of 81.5% since
2000, and 2018 census numbers
show Meridian as the second
largest and fastest growing city in
Idaho. In light of the city’s family-
oriented infrastructure, keen city
planning, and numerous business
opportunities, it’s no wonder why.
