History
The community of Meridianville was established in the early 1800s by a settler named Joseph Fenwick along the major north–south road from Nashville to Huntsville, now known as U.S. Route 231/431, deriving its name from being placed on the line of the base meridian. This village site first attracted squatters and small farmers, however, when Fenwick recognized the possibilities of a town, he purchased land, and offered lots for sale in 1818. Within the first decade of settlement, the bustling village of Meridianville offered several mills, gins, and stores.
