Meriden is situated midway between the cities of New Haven and Hartford, located about 20 miles to the north and south, respectively. Meriden has several world-class educational institutions located within less than a one-half hour drive, including Yale University, Wesleyan University, Trinity College, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (at Hartford), the University of New Haven, the University of Hartford, Central Connecticut State University (CCSU), Southern Connecticut State College, Albertus Magnus College, and St. Joseph College. Meriden is the showcase for one of the finest Traprock Ridges in all of New England. The Ridges frame the City, from Mount Lamentation along the easterly boundary to West Peak along the westerly boundary. These mountain ridges were recently protected by the City Council for future generations to enjoy. Meriden is located about one hour from major tourist and recreation areas, such as Sturbridge Yankee Village to the north and Mystic Seaport to the southeast. Meriden is also a major retail center with its newly-rehabilitated downtown and mall recently expanded over one-million square feet which features such major retailers as Filenes, J.C. Penney, Sears, and Target. A full-service medical center, MidState Medical Center, offers world class medical care to the residents of central Connecticut.
