About this neighborhood

Merion Village is a diverse historic neighborhood located just south of German Village along High Street and Parsons Avenue. First settled by Nathaniel Merion in 1809, the area was built into the industrial hotbed of a growing industrial city. Many of the residents of Merion Village have roots that go back three and four generations, and the neighbourhood contains houses built mostly around the turn of the century.
