Mount Merino, Kentucky is an unincorporated community near Irvington in Breckinridge County, Kentucky.
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 Roman Catholic seminary there in 1838. The school closed in 1843 and in 1854 the Mount Merino farm became the home for the Holy Guardian Angel Catholic Church, a mission of 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]
