Monroe, with a population of 30,392 is the county seat of Union County.  The historic, Victorian Courthouse built in 1886, sits magnificently atop a central square and draws attention from every direction.  To the north, lie County and City government buildings - to the south, quaint downtown shops, restaurants and businesses.  Several fountains and small park areas dot the downtown landscape.  Tree-lined streets and restored historic homes carry you away from the heart of Monroe.

 


A thriving Highway 74 Corridor is where you’ll find most major restaurant and economy hotel chains, shopping malls and car dealers and just about everything in-between!  Farmland is becoming more uncommon to see along this bustling business segment as more and more businesses move in to service the fastest-growing county in the state.
 
Another economic pulsepoint for Monroe is an industrial and distribution center situated near the Monroe Regional Airport.  The City is home to multi-national corporations as well as local regional companies.  Being adjacent to the 2nd largest financial center in the United States and proactively pursuing the growth and development of high-technology businesses, the City of Monroe has become a significant player in many new growth sectors.

We look forward to welcoming you personally on a future visit!
