About Meriden, Connecticut
Meriden is a city of 60,850 people in New Haven County, halfway between New Haven and Hartford. It started out as North Farms, the northern end of Wallingford, and its people won a meetinghouse of their own in 1727. By 1806 more than 1,000 people lived here, so it became a town, named for a village near Birmingham, England. Meriden became a city in 1867, when it had a little under 9,000 residents.
Ashbel Griswold, who had trained under a tin and pewter maker in Rocky Hill, arrived in 1808 and began making block-tin, and Meriden's britannia works grew out of his shop. Later in the 1800s the Meriden Britannia Company took the top medal for plated wares at the 1876 Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia, and by the end of the 1870s people called it the world's largest silverware maker. So many silver firms filled the city that people nicknamed it the Silver City. The International Silver Company produced silver in Meriden until the early 1980s.
“A spirit of enterprise and activity in business characterizes the inhabitants of this town.”
- A fort with port holesBefore Meriden was a town, the colony gave a Mr. Belcher five hundred acres here if he would build a stone fort with port holes and stock it with arms and ammunition. The grant also let him keep a tavern forever. His fort went up between 1660 and 1667, a larger one took its place about 1690, and it served travelers on the old road as a tavern until the turnpike arrived in 1799.
- Castle Craig in 1900Walter Hubbard, head of the Bradley & Hubbard Manufacturing Company, donated the bulk of Hubbard Park to Meriden, some 1,800 acres around Mirror Lake, on the condition that it remain free for the city's people. He built Castle Craig, a traprock tower 32 feet tall, on East Peak at 976 feet, and gave it to the city on October 29, 1900, serving six barrels of roasted clams to about 250 guests.
- Early FM from West PeakEdwin Howard Armstrong, who invented FM radio, sent out one of the earliest FM broadcasts in 1939 from the top of West Peak. At 1,024 feet, it is the tallest of the Hanging Hills. His 70-foot mast still stands on the summit, and six FM stations broadcast from the peak today.
- The Ideal War CommunityAbraham Lincoln came to Meriden on March 7, 1860, while seeking the Republican nomination for president. During World War II the city's factories ran around the clock in three shifts, and on March 8, 1944, the War Manpower Commission honored Meriden as the nation's ideal war community, with Jimmy Durante and Glenn Miller entertaining the crowd.
- Church at home, about 1760Samuel Andrews built a house on West Main Street about 1760, and his son Moses inherited it. Because Moses was an Anglican, his neighbors suspected him of siding with the Crown during the Revolution and shut him out of church in Wallingford, so he held Anglican services at home. Since about 1940 the historical society has kept the Moses Andrews House open as a museum, and it was added to the National Register in 1978.
