A Bit of Meacham History

In the summer of 1910, Meacham was little more than prairie and surveyor spikes. The Grand Trunk Railway built its line into Meacham station that year, businesses arrived by 1911, and the village was incorporated on June 19, 1912. It grew until the droughts of the 1930s and has since found new life as a quiet bedroom community and arts hub.
