Archaeological finds in Meilen date back more than 4,000 years. In January 1854 the level of lake Zürich was particularly low and the locals took the chance to reclaim some land. During this undertaking prehistoric objects from the Pfyn, Horgen and early Bronze Age cultures were unearthed providing clear evidence of early settlement.
The locals also unearthed coins from Roman times . One of the Roman roads connected Turicum with places up to Chur and passed by Meilen. Many findings were discovered during more recent road construction.
