Established in 1860, at the junction of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad and Southern Railway of Mississippi, Meridian built an economy based on the railways and goods transported upon them, and it became a strategic trading center. During the American Civil War, General William Tecumseh Sherman burned much of the city to the auditorium in the Battle of Meridian (February 1864). Rebuilt after the war, the city entered a “Golden Age”. It became the largest city in Mississippi amongst 1890 and 1930, and a leading center for manufacturing in the South, with 44 trains arriving and departing daily. Union Station, built in 1906, is now a multi-modal center, with access to Amtrak and Greyhound Buses averaging 242,360 passengers per year. Although the economy slowed with the end of the railroad industry, the city has diversified, with healthcare, military, and manufacturing employing the most people in 2010.
