Merritt, City in Thompson-Nicola Valley, Canada
Located at the meeting point of Nicola and Coldwater rivers, Merritt extends across four residential areas: Bench, Collettville, Central, and Diamondvale.
The settlement, initially named Forksdale, emerged in 1893 from surveyed ranch lands and received its current name in 1906 after William Hamilton Merritt III.
The Nicola Valley Museum and Archives maintains collections of regional artifacts and documents, presenting exhibitions about local heritage and development.
