It probably depends on how you look at things.
If you’re comparing it with the rest of Idaho, the answer is yes.
In fact, Meridian is the second-largest city in the state.
When it comes to growth, it ranks the fastest-growing in Idaho for the last 30 years.
Thanks to the dairy industry, Meridian has solidified itself as important and attractive to those in the creamery business and beyond.
There are about 126,000 residents, which is about half as many in Boise.
So, Meridian is a big city for Idaho but would probably be considered a small town for someone who was from say, Los Angeles, which has a population of over three million.
