Summary
The Meridian Highway, so named because it closely followed the Sixth Principal Meridian, developed as the major north-south highway beginning in Canada and ending at the Gulf of Mexico. Located in Pierce County, this four-and-one-half mile section of the Meridian Highway is significant as an example of the original 1911 alignment of this early transportation corridor.
