==History==
Merillon Avenue station was established in 1911 near the former Clowesville station, which was established in June 1837 by the Brooklyn and Jamaica Railroad. It was the closest LIRR station to the old Queens County courthouse (Nassau County became a separate county in 1899, splitting off from Queens County) off Jericho Turnpike. By 1845, it was used only when courts were in session.
From 1874-1876, the station was named "Garden City" in order to mislead travele into thinking that the station served Alexander Turney Stewart's Garden City, which was already served by had already been served by a Garden City station along the Central Railroad of Long Island in 1872.〔( "The Long Island Rail Road, a Comprehensive History - Part 3: The Age of Expansion: 1863-1880," by Vincent F. Seyfried (1966) )〕The court moved away in 1877 and the station fell by the wayside,〔(Clowesville Station (Arrt's Arrchives) )〕 although some trains continued to stop there as late as June 1897.〔(LIRR station history )〕 Though re-established as a station in 1911, the station house itself was not built until 1912. It was rebuilt in 1958 with a smaller structure and an 11'6" bridge under the tracks for Nassau Boulevard.
