Monroe County is located in the southeastern region of the great state of Michigan. Established in 1817, Monroe County was one of the first three counties in the Michigan Territory. The county was named after the fifth President of the United States, James Monroe, and was founded two years before he approved the admission of Michigan to the Union as a state in 1819.

The area that now comprises Monroe County originally belonged to the Native American tribes, including the Potawatomi, Wyandot, and Ottawa. Following the gradual movement of Europeans to North America, French settlers began to occupy the region in the late 1600s and early 1700s. With the advent of the French and Indian War and eventually the Revolutionary War, the territory passed on to British control until the United States gained control as part of the Treaty of Paris (1783).

Monroe County witnessed significant development and growth during the 1800s. In 1831, the Erie Canal opened a direct route from the Hudson River to the Great Lakes, facilitating economic growth and population influx in Monroe County. The need for transportation and infrastructure spurred the expansion of the railway network in the region, linking it with strategic cities like Chicago and New York City.

One of Monroe County's notable historical events includes the Battle of Frenchtown, part of the War of 1812. The battle took place along the River Raisin in the southeastern part of the county, and it was a major conflict between American and British forces. Unfortunately, the American troops faced a devastating defeat, and the battle became popularly known as the River Raisin Massacre.

A fun fact about Monroe County is that it was the boyhood home of General George Armstrong Custer. Born in 1839, Custer gained fame as a United States Army officer during the tumultuous Civil War period. Today, the city of Monroe within the county has many landmarks and sites honoring General Custer, including monuments, an elementary school named after him, and an annual Custer Week celebration.
