6.New Business [Action Item]
A. Planning for Preser vation M onth, May 2020
Since SHPO has not yet chosen a theme, the commissioners
reviewed what activities had been done in the past for
Preservation Month. Commissioners discussed taking visitors
through a guided tour from City Hall, different stops and stations
along the way, individuals who assisted in past years, signage,
and possible construction roadblocks. J. Nary volunteered to
reach out to potential partners, such as Kona Ice.
Commissioners decided May 28th will be the day of Preservation
Month celebration.
B. Walking Tour Posts Replacement
A. Belnap asked for information regarding the process it took to
replace walking posts in years past. J. Evarts said Nick Groves i s
the appropriate contact.
A. Belnap also informed the commission that Tour Buddy, the
app company, merged with another app company, OnCell. The
walking tour app will need to go through a migration process to
transfer to OnCell’s new tour application program. J. Evarts
requested to be copied on communication so his technical team
may assist in the process.
C. Next Steps for Meridian Speedway Listing on the National
Registry
B. Johnston stated the next step is to get the Meridian
Speedway surveyed by TAG. A. Belnap will reach out to
TAG and request a quote in person or in writing. J. Evarts
will reach out to Speedway owners to request the
owner’s approval of the survey. L. Hill commented the
History Center has many files and photos of the
Speedway to assist in the survey.
D. Discuss Future Use for Historical Coins
Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 27, 2020 – Page 3 of 81
Commissioners reviewed previous use for coins - giving them to
individuals who complete the walking tour. J. Nary suggested
more advertisement through Instagram. Commissioners
discussed admin access on social media, available names, and
hashtags. A. Belnap and B. Nary will confirm managing an
Instagram page with Shandy Lam, City Communications
Manager.
J. Nary also suggested advertising coins through other programs
such as Art Week.

I. Introduction – The Purpose of the Preservation Plan
Meridian’s rich history is illustrated in many buildings and sites which possess architectural
and historical interest. Whether they are 19th century and early 20th century farmsteads or
early 20th century downtown or residential buildings, these historic resources make an
important contribution to Meridian’s sense of place and economy. The Meridian Historic
Preservation Commission (MHPC) seeks to preserve the character and fabric of historically-
significant areas and structures within the City of Meridian to honor and preserve its heritage
for future generations.
The City of Meridian recognizes the importance of historic resources and historic
preservation to the community. The purpose of the city’s Comprehensive Plan (2011) is to
“preserve some of the small town character and charm while looking to progress as a
community.”1 The goals and policies for historic preservation included within the
Comprehensive Plan are key to its purpose.
Historic preservation includes buildings, structures, neighborhoods, and landscapes which
help relate the story of Meridian. The history of the community and an understanding of
how it became what it is today will help to shape its future. Preservation of historic
resources will help meet the Comprehensive Plan’s goal to maintain Meridian’s small town
character. An historic preservation plan is essential to the process.
This plan is intended to provide the City of Meridian and the Historic Preservation
Commission with specific community preservation goals and objectives and provide the
step-by-step guidance to achieve them.
II. Regulations, Programs & Management
A. The National Historic Preservation Act of 1966
The Federal government has established historic preservation programs in recognition of its
responsibility to protect historic, cultural, and natural resources on federally owned lands.
The cornerstone of the national program is The National Historic Preservation Act of 1966
(NHPA). The NHPA establishes as Federal policy that the government will provide a
leadership in the preservation of historic resources and will administer a national
preservation program in partnership with states, Indian tribes, and local governments. In
addition the act establishes that Federal policy should contribute to the preservation of non-
federally owned historic resources and provide encouragement to organizations and
individuals undertaking preservation by private means (ACHP 2008).
The NHPA has been amended by Congress over the years to improve, clarify and reaffirm
the national program. Key elements of the NHPA and the National Historic Preservation
Program include:
B. National Register of Historic Places
The NHPA authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to maintain the National Register of
Historic Places, which recognizes historic properties of national, state and local significance.
City of Meridian Preservation Plan
2014
TAG Historical Research & Consulting

Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 27, 2020 – Page 21 of 81
It is composed of districts, sites, buildings, structures and objects significant in American
history, architecture, archaeology, engineering, and culture. The National Register is the
nation’s official list of historic properties that have been
determined worthy of preservation.
Listing on the National Register is an honorary
recognition. It recognizes the importance of a historic
resource without placing any obligations or restrictions
on the resource owner. Listing does not give the
Federal government any ownership rights or regulatory
controls with respect to a property.
C. Certified Local Government Program

listed in the National Register of Historic
Places. Photo by Lila Hill.
The Certified Local Government Program (CLG) is a partnership between local, state and
national governments which focuses on promoting historic preservation at the grass roots
level. The CLG program was created under the NHPA to insure that local governments will
be eligible to receive technical and financial assistance to strengthen their local historic
preservation efforts and expand their historic preservation activities. The program is jointly
administered by the National Park Service (NPS) and State Historic Preservation Office
(SHP0) who works with each local community working through a certification process to
become recognized as a CLG. CLGS then become an active partner in the Federal Historic
Preservation Program and the opportunities it provides.
CLGs agree to expand their responsibilities through the enactment and enforcement of
historic preservation ordinances, by the appointment of boards of historical and architectural
review or historical commissions, and by commenting on National Register nominations
within their jurisdiction. In addition, they agree to provide an annual report of their
preservation activities.
III. History of Meridian
Meridian’s history, like the history of many southwestern Idaho towns, is linked directly to
irrigation and the development of productive farm land from arid lands. The first settlement
in the area was near Five Mile Creek, the closest source of water. Enough people were in
the area by 1885 to open a school. The Idaho Central Railway constructed a line from
Nampa to Boise in 1887. The following year, the U. S. Postal Service established a mail drop
on the railroad at a point midway from Nampa to Boise. The drop was named “Hunter,”
after John Hunter, who was superintendent of the Idaho Central. A trading center began to
develop at the railroad, and in August of 1893 C. G. Zenger filed a plat for a new town, to
be named “Meridian,” after its location on the Boise Meridian. The post office name was
changed to Meridian in April 1894.2
Irrigated agriculture was key to Meridian’s development. The Settlers Ditch Company was
established October 30th, 1884. The original locators of the canal and water right were
Christian R. Purdum, Adolphus Purdum, and William H. Smith. They made their filing on
October 17, 1884, claiming water to irrigate land west of Boise City. The canal began on the
south side of the river at a point on the head of the Government Hay Reservation, now

known as Ann Morrison Park. According to the Settlers Irrigation District (SID), today the
canal measures approximately 20 miles in length with 95 miles of laterals. Water deliveries
for the main canal begin at North Mitchell Street in Boise and end approximately one half
mile west of Black Cat Road dumping into the Five Mile Drain. Water deliveries for the
south side of the Settlers Canal begin west of Five Mile Road and south of Ustick Road
eventually dumping into a Nampa and Meridian Irrigation District (NMID) drain below
Black Cat Road.
Although the Settlers Ditch Company was organized in 1884, it was not until 1886 that the
ditch began to take shape. Initially the ditch was to be constructed by the farmers who were
settling in the western part of Ada County. Unfortunately the farmers were unable to
complete the work themselves. In 1885 they signed a contract with Alexander McGee and
James Stewart, organizers of the Phyllis Canal Company. Under the terms of the contract,
McGee and Stewart would continue construction of the ditch. When McGee and Stewart
failed to complete the work, the farmers took the ditch back. They were able to persuade a
few local businessmen to purchase stock in the canal company. In 1887 John Lemp took
over direction of the Settlers Ditch which then became known as the Lemp Canal.
Under Lemp’s ownership the main canal was completed in 1891, extending approximately
eight miles from the head gate. A system of laterals was constructed to furnish water to the
farmers. By 1896 so many settlers had taken up land under the Lemp Canal that even
running to its full capacity it was no longer able to supply the demand for water. In 1901
Lemp sold the project to the newly organized Settlers Canal Company Ltd. who continued
its operation. The name of the main canal was changed back
to the Settlers Canal.
No longer used, this chicken coop
is one of several buildings left at a
small farmstead on Lamont Road.

The Nampa Meridian Irrigation District (NMID),
established in 1904, is also important to Meridian’s
agricultural history. The Farmers Lateral is associated with
the Ridenbaugh Canal system, which was the largest pre-
federal irrigation project in the Boise Valley. In 1877,
William B. Morris, an early Boise City settler, claimed over
17,000 acres under the Desert Land Act on the first bench
above the south bank of the Boise River. He then sold part
of his interest to other settlers who needed an irrigation
system. He hired these future farmers to begin construction
on a large canal that would not only serve irrigation
purposes but also transport lumber and provide power for a sawmill. Seven miles of canal
were completed when Morris died in 1878. After his death, the capital to expand the canal
system evaporated and his widow Lavinia and their nephew, William Ridenbaugh, to whom
ownership of the canal had passed, could only afford to oversee the seven miles of canal that
had already been built. However, farmers that had purchased land from Morris wished to
keep their property and to do so needed to provide water to their acreage under the Desert
Land Act. They continued to expand the canal in small increments until Ridenbaugh sold
the canal and water rights to the Central Canal and Land Company in 1889.
This company invested $67,000 over the next two years but became discouraged with the
limited capital return and sold the canal to the Boise City and Nampa Irrigation Land and

Lumber Company (BCNILLC) in 1890. The Ridenbaugh canal system was sold again in
1894 for $123,149.00 to the Boise City Irrigation Land and Lumber Company. By this time,
the main canal was 51 miles long and supported 271 miles of secondary canals and laterals.
Additional facilities included 23 large gates, 109 check gates, 296 taps, 280 weirs, 33 culverts,
two flumes 500 feet long and several smaller flumes. By 1903, the estimated construction
cost of the Ridenbaugh system was in excess of $405,000. The financial burden of
maintaining the canal network eventually became too great and the Boise City Irrigation
Land and Lumber Company sold the Ridenbaugh Canal to the Nampa and Meridian
Irrigation District (NMID) in 1906.
NMID was formed in 1904 because of the enactment of House Bill 266 by the Idaho
Legislature five years earlier. The legislation provided for the organization of irrigation
districts that would manage water delivery systems throughout Idaho. The act gave each
district the authority to construct, purchase or otherwise obtain the necessary water rights,
irrigation works, canals and ditches including those built or in the process of construction by
private owners and to provide land owners with sufficient water for irrigation.
NMID is the source for most of the irrigation in the immediate area. Meridian (old town) is
all served by the Hunter lateral which extends from the Ridenbaugh Canal northwest
through Meridian Cemetery and continues to the north where it meets the Settlers Canal.
Irrigated agriculture encouraged settlers from Missouri, Iowa, and other areas flocked to the
area, taking up land surrounding Meridian and establishing farms. Around the turn of the
20th century, settlers established fruit orchards and built fruit packing businesses and prune
dryers along the railroad tracks. Local orchards produced many varieties of apples and Italian
prunes. Production continued through the mid-1940s, when it was no longer profitable and
the businesses closed.
As the population of southwestern states grew in the early 20th century, so did the demand
for dairy products. The increased demand came at the same time as the introduction of
concrete silos and other technological advances, which in turn brought more farmers turned
to dairy production. Meridian’s location near both the Oregon Short Line and the interurban
track system (connecting communities from Boise to Caldwell) was a great benefit to the
dairy industry. Farmers used both the railroad and the interurban lines to ship their milk to
creameries and cheese factories. Meridian was the site of a creamery as early as 1897, when
the Meridian Creamery was incorporated, and a cheese factory was established in 1913, part
of an agricultural boom which continued into the years of World War I. When the war
ended, prices fell dramatically for grain, cattle and sheep, but farmers persevered. Meridian
historian Lila Hill notes that the Ada County Dairymen’s Association creamery was the
center of the area’s economy from 1929-1970. Buildings related to the ACDA creamery
formed the core of downtown Meridian
World War II brought another boom to Meridian. Some returning veterans used the loan
programs of the Serviceman’s Readjustment Act of 1944 (popularly known as the GI Bill) to
purchase existing farms where they raised cattle feed for their dairy herds and sold milk. By
the mid-1950s, in addition to being a thriving agricultural center, Meridian was also home to
several industries: The ACDA creamery, two lumber processing plants – Brock Lumber and

Meridian Moulding--and the Storey Hatchery. Agricultural and industrial growth also led to a
housing boom. Five new subdivisions were added to the city between 1948 and 1950.3
During the early 21st century, Meridian’s character changed from an agricultural community
to a sophisticated urban center. It had grown from a rural center to a thriving commercial,
social, and residential urban community.
Silos like this one, constructed of fiberglass
and metal, were a post-World War II
innovation in silo construction.

IV. Historic Preservation Accomplishments
The City of Meridian has an active historic preservation program that has been an important
part of the city for over 25 years. Meridian City Code Title 2, Chapter 1 established the
Historic Preservation Commission and outlines its duties and powers. The commission was
established to promote the educational, cultural, economic and general welfare of the public
of the city through the identification, evaluation, designation, documentation, and protection
of those buildings, sites, areas, structures, and objects which reflect significant elements of
the city’s the state’s, and the nation’s historic architectural, archaeological, and cultural
heritage. The city’s adopted Comprehensive Plan (2011) includes goals and policies for
historic preservation. The Historic Preservation Commission consists of five members
serving three-year terms. At least two appointed members have professional training or
experience in the disciplines of architecture, history, architectural history, urban planning,
archaeology, engineering, law other historic preservation related disciplines.
In addition to the work of the MHPC the Meridian History Center, a volunteer-operated
education center is located on the first floor of City Hall and includes a depository for
archival records, photographs, objects, and exhibits relating to Meridian’s history. Meridian
was named an Idaho Heritage City for recognizing and encouraging preservation and
interpretation of its cultural heritage.
Meridian is designated as a Certified Local Government (CLG) under a state and federal
program administered by the Idaho Historical Society through the State Historic
Preservation Office (SHPO). The CLG designation indicates that the city’s historic
preservation program meets state and national criteria for preservation planning. The MHPC
has undertaken several historic resources survey to identify historic resources and has
followed the guidelines of the Idaho SHPO for local surveys.
The Idaho SHPO has adopted guidelines for historic sites survey as identified in the Secretary
of the Interior’s Standards and Guidelines for Identification of Historic Resources. The Idaho Historic
Sites Inventory (IHSI) is a statewide inventory of architectural and historic properties,
City of Meridian Preservation Plan
2014
TAG Historical Research & Consulting

Meridian City Council Meeting Agenda February 27, 2020 – Page 25 of 81
serving as a permanent record of all known historic buildings, structures, objects, sites, and
districts. SHPO supports an ongoing effort to identify and record historic properties
statewide and evaluate their eligibility for the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).
To be eligible for listing on the NRHP, a property must be at least 50 years old, possess
integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association, and
meet at least one of following four criteria:
A. The property is associated with events that have made a significant
contribution to the broad patterns of our history (“history”); or
B. The property is associated with the lives of significant persons in or past
(“people”); or
C. The property embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period,
or method of construction, or represents the work of a master, or possesses
high artistic values, or represents a significant and distinguishable entity
whose components may lack individual distinction (“architecture”); or
D. has yielded or may be likely to yield, information important in history or
prehistory (“archaeology”).
There are two levels of historic sites survey: reconnaissance level and intensive level. A
reconnaissance survey is a “once over” inspection of an area, useful in characterizing its
resources in general and for developing a basis of how to organize more detailed efforts.
An intensive level survey is designed to identify precisely and completely all historic
resources in the area being studied. It generally involves detailed background research, and a
thorough documentation of all historic properties in the field with contemporary
photographs and extensive field notes.
A. Historic Sites Inventory
The following is a summary of historic resources documented in Meridian to date, including
resources that have been listed in the National Register Historic Places.
In 1987 the Meridian Reconnaissance Survey (IHSI Survey Report #132) was undertaken to
survey commercial and residential properties built before 1926 within the downtown core.
The survey was completed by volunteers directed by Lila Hill and following SHPO survey
guidelines.
Consultants were hired to complete later surveys. In 2005, Emily Peeso conducted the
Meridian Reconnaissance Survey Phase 1 (IHSI Survey Report #307). Madeline Buckendorf
conducted the 2007 City of Meridian Impact Area Resurvey (IHSI Survey Report #361) to
update the survey forms for fifteen previously recorded historic properties. In 2011 TAG
Historical Research and Consulting undertook a windshield survey within the Ten Mile
Interchange Specific Area and identified 31 properties which merited intensive survey. The
intensive level survey was conducted by TAG the following year.

The surveys have documented commercial buildings within the City’s core related to its
agricultural heritage. They include grain elevators, a feed mill, a wagon shop, a cheese
factory, and numerous shops. Historic public buildings include a public library, Meridian
Rural High School and a municipal pumping station. Numerous historic private residences
have also been recorded.
Outside the City core, but within the Area of Impact, architectural resources that have been
recorded include historic farmsteads, residences, hay derricks, irrigation facilities, and
schools. No geological sites or monuments have been identified in Meridian, nor are there
any Native American sites recorded within the Area of Impact. A list of all sites recorded in
the Meridian Area of Impact from 1985 through 2013 is attached as Appendix A.

V. Goals and Objectives
According to the American Planning Association, stated goals
and objectives are the foundation of a historic preservation plan
and will provide direction to the community.4
These goals and objectives come from the broader framework
established by the Meridian Comprehensive Plan, which is the
official policy guide for decisions concerning the physical
development of Meridian. The list is also based upon the stated
goals and objectives of the Ada County Preservation Plan
(2006) and A View to the Future, the preservation plan of the
Idaho State Historical Society Preservation (2008).

VI. Conclusion
The Preservation Plan has identified a list of goals and
objectives to better preserve, protect and enhance Meridian’s
architectural and cultural heritage. The Meridian Historic
Preservation Commission, working with the City of Meridian,
the Idaho State Historic Preservation Commission, and the
people of Meridian will use this Plan as a guide to generate
support for these goals and objectives over time.

While preservationists seek to protect and enhance the historic built environment, change is
constant. Not all goals may be achieved, and priorities may shift over time. Historic
resources may be lost before they can be preserved, and new places may be recognized as
historically significant. The Meridian Historic Preservation Commission will revisit this Plan
periodically to refine Meridian’s preservation planning goals as the community develops.

Idaho Historic Sites Inventory
Meridian Area of Impact
Historic site survey is a tool used to document buildings, structures, historic sites, and
archaeological resources and make recommendations regarding eligibility to the
National Register of Historic Places. The State Historic Preservation Office, which
operates in Idaho under the auspices of the Idaho State Historical Society, uses
standards established by the National Park Service to collect information for the
Idaho Historic Sites Inventory, a database of information for thousands of sites in
Idaho.
Particular sites may appear in more than one survey report. Change is inevitable and
site records are updated from time to time for various reasons. If a project involves a
site that was previously recorded, the SHPO asks that the information be updated if
the original recordation is more than five years old.
Surveys which cover areas in the Meridian Area of Impact include a 1985 survey of
selected rural sites in Ada County conducted by staff of the State Historic
Preservation Office; a more comprehensive survey conducted by consultants Belinda
Davis and Barbara Perry Bauer in 1989; and updated surveys conducted 1998-2000 by
Renewable Technologies, Inc. (1998) and The Arrowrock Group, Inc., (1999-2000)
for the Ada County Historic Preservation Commission. A survey of the Ten Mile
Road Specific Area was completed by TAG Historical Research & Consulting for the
Meridian Historic Preservation Commission in 2011 and 2012.
Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1965, as amended, requires
cultural resource surveys for projects that include a federal undertaking. An
“undertaking” may include, but is not limited to, projects using federal funds,
requiring a federal permit, or completed by federal agencies. For example, a number
of surveys in the Meridian Area of Impact have been completed as part of highway
construction or improvement projects.
Site surveys conducted within the city of Meridian are outlined on page 8 of the
Meridian Historic Preservation Plan.
The attached list of sites recorded in the Meridian Area of Impact was provided by
the Idaho State Historic Preservation Office. The report was created by Belinda Davis
from the Idaho Historic Sites Inventory database.

T
he forty acres that became the
center of Meridian was originally
homesteaded by Eliza Zenger.
Following the receipt of her ownership land
patent, Eliza’s husband, Christian Zenger filed
the original town site plat under the name of
“Meridian.” Previous to this, the settlement had
been known as “Hunter,” named by the railroad
in honor of one of Its local superintendents.
The postal drop was called “Hunter” from
September 11, 1888 until April 3, 1894 when it
was renamed “Meridian.”
Meridian was incorporated as a village in 1903
after obtaining permission from the Ada County
Commissioners. In 1910, the town boasted three
general stores, a hardware store, a meat market,
a drug store, a pharmacy, a barber shop, a tailor
shop, a bank, a loan company, a land office, and
a saloon; as well as schools, churches, and a
creamery.
Thank you for taking this tour and we hope you
enjoy your journey through Meridian’s past!
