Meridian Park Information
Meridian Hills is a town in Indiana, United States. The population was 1,713
at the 2000 census. It has existed as an "included town" since 1970, when it was
incorporated into Indianapolis as part of Unigov, losing governmental powers
thereto. It is legally part of Indianapolis, according to Indiana Code 36-3-1-4
sec. 4, which states that the territory of a consolidated city (Indianapolis/Unigov)
shall include "all other territory in the county except territory of an excluded
city." While it is claimed that these "included towns" retain town status as
defined by the state constitution, the current constitution of the state of
