Welcome to

Monroe County,
Michigan ALHN


The American Local History Network is a central point of entry to independent web sites with historical or genealogical content.




Monroe County was established in 1817. The county was named for James Monroe (1758-1831), 5th president of the United States (1817-1825). He visited Detroit on August 13, 1817, and stayed five days. The county was named in anticipation of his visit.

This county is up for adoption
and is
looking for a very caring person to take care of it.
If you are interested in doing so,
please contact one of the State Coordinators Sondra, Bonnie, or Lesley.
