Meridian, New York

Meridian is a village in Cayuga County, New York, United States. The population was 309 at the 2010 census. Meridian is near the northern town line of the town of Cato and is west of Syracuse.

The community was settled in 1804. It was once called "Cato Four Corners". Meridian was incorporated as a village in 1854.

The Meridian Baptist Church, at the eastern edge of the village, was founded in 1810. The church celebrated the 200th anniversary of its founding for a full year in 2010. The anniversary observance ended in October.

A number of houses and other buildings of spectacular architectural styling, in varying conditions of preservation, grace the village. If documented, more would certainly be eligible for National Register of Historic Places listing, but as of 2022 only the William Smith Ingham House is so listed.

Theodore Ruggles Timby, inventor of the revolving turret used on the USS Monitor during the Civil War, lived in Meridian from at least 1839 until he left in the fall of 1855. Prior to his leaving the village, his fraudulent behavior while serving as Secretary and agent of the Tempest Insurance Company of Meridian caused significant financial losses to the company. He left town heavily in debt. His residence still stands on the west side of Bonta Bridge Road, south of the center of the village.
