In the 1970s, there were two similarly-named malls in -and around- the Silver City. MERIDEN MALL was formally dedicated on September 24, 1970. Farther out in the hinterlands, MERIDEN SQUARE held its grand opening on October 19, 1971. The two malls were a source of confusion from the start. To remedy this, MERIDEN MALL was renamed MERIDEN HUB in 1981. The complex closed in 2003 and was demolished in 2007.
