Monroe County is located in the great state of Georgia and was established on May 15, 1821. The county was named after the fifth president of the United States, James Monroe, who served from 1817 to 1825. The county's creation was a result of the cession of Creek Native American land to Georgia, which was called the Treaty of Indian Springs in 1821. Forsyth, founded in 1823, is the county seat and named after John Forsyth, Georgia governor and U.S. congressman.
During the Civil War, Monroe County contributed to the Southern war effort through troops and supplies, but the county remained relatively untouched by direct military action.
