Merrehope Historic District is a historic district in Meridian, Mississippi. The district was originally subdivided around 1853 by city founder John T. Ball, but started developing after the Civil War. Following the war, Meridian's economy boomed through railroading, logging and textile enterprises. As Meridian began to grow northward, so did the need for housing. The housing development period for this district was late 1860 through 1940.[3] The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 19, 1988 and is rectangular, bounded by 33rd Ave, 30th Ave, 14th St, and 8th St.[2]
