Golf in Meridian

Meridian is the Lauderdale County seat and east Mississippi's largest city, positioned at the junction of I-20 and I-59 where the two interstates cross in one of the most important transportation nexuses in the Deep South. Meridian's railroad heritage made it a prosperous commercial center in the late nineteenth century, and the city's diverse economy today combines manufacturing, healthcare, military support for NAS Meridian, and retail serving a multi-county regional market. The Mississippi Arts + Entertainment Experience museum reflects Meridian's cultural heritage, including Jimmie Rodgers' legacy. The city's diverse economy and its transportation position have sustained Meridian's regional significance through decades of demographic change that have reduced many comparable Mississippi cities.
