Merrington

Merrington (French: Merinèville; Lollese: Merinvile) is a town located in Decaderia Borough, in the Jonathian province of Lolland. As of 2024, Merrington has a population of 41,589. The town is located east of the River Pylzade, and runs along the western and southern edges of Mount Merine. North of the town is the Letellier National Park.
Merrington is named for Merine, the Duke of Decaderia between 1472 and 1513. Merrington was first constructed in the 4th century CE as a small farming village. The site soon grew in population over time. Merrington received its name in 1473, in honour of Prince Merine's ascension to Duke of Decaderia. The 15th and 16th centuries saw the rise of a major logging industry. A wildfire in the early months of 1855 led to the collapse of many logging companies in the region, with the remainder merging with other companies in the Decaderia Borough to form the Decaderia Logging Corporation. In 1902, the Ouilhon Bridge opened west of Merrington. The town was the target of major raids during the Great War, including one in 1944 that devastated the town's infrastructure. A rebuilding effort soon followed in the late 1940s and early 1950s.
Merrington is served by the M46 and M105 motorways, as well as rail services provided by both Jonathian Rail and the LPRC. Decaderia Buses operates a bus service between it and some Decaderia towns along the River Pylzade. The town is home to the video game development company Lemsoft, as well as Merrington F.C., a local football team.
