Merriam is located in Northeast Johnson County, Kansas, eight miles south of downtown Kansas City. Our central location along Interstate 35 and relatively small size make Merriam an accessible and convenient place for travelers and residents. A strong sense of community and an active business climate give Merriam all of the advantages of being in the metropolitan area while retaining the charm of a small town.
Our primary values, as a city, are to achieve results and reach our goals exceeding the minimum and leaving things better than we found them. We strive to be the best and to serve the public fairly, honestly, and openly by working together with our citizens. We work to provide government of unquestioned integrity with a conservative tone in our fiscal planning while providing first class service and facilities.
