Pioneer Days in Merridale District Chronicle
Merridale origins trace to English pioneer William Cockerill who named the area after Merridale Road in Southampton. Early settlers arrived around 1900 including Clark and Smellie, with ranches, homesteads, and Indian relics noted near Ranch Lake and Angling Lakes. The community developed through 1910s-1930s with schools, mills, a post office, and early stores established by McBean, Maluta, Zmudsky, and others.
