Mount Merino, Kentucky is an unincorporated community near Irvington in Breckinridge County, Kentucky.
History
The community can trace its founding to 1832 when two brothers, Dr. Benedict Wathen and Dr. Richard M. Wathen, purchased the land and helped establish a
St. Theresa Parish at Rhodelia. In 1930 it was decided to build a new church in Irvington as the old church needed many repairs and to be closer to the population center.[2]
