Monroe is the largest city in Monroe County, Michigan, United States, and its county seat. The population was 20,462 at the 2020 census.[5] The city is bordered on the south by Monroe Charter Township, but the two are administered autonomously. Monroe is the core city in the Monroe metropolitan area, which is coterminous with Monroe County and had a population of 154,809 in 2020.[6] On the western shores of Lake Erie about 20 miles (32 km) northeast of Toledo, Ohio, and 40 miles (64 km) southwest of Detroit, the city is part of the Detroit–Ann Arbor–Flint combined statistical area.

The Monroe area was the scene of several military conflicts during the War of 1812 against the United Kingdom and is known for the Battle of Frenchtown. In 1817, parts of the Frenchtown settlement along the River Raisin were platted and renamed "Monroe" after then-president James Monroe. When Michigan became a state in 1837, Monroe was incorporated as a city.[7]

Monroe is known as the childhood residence of George Armstrong Custer and other members of his family, including his brother Boston Custer and wife Elizabeth Bacon. Several structures are named after Custer, including Custer Airport. Founded in 1928, La-Z-Boy's world headquarters are in Monroe.

History

[edit]

Long occupied by varying cultures of indigenous peoples, the area around the River Raisin was settled by the Potawatomi hundreds of years before French explorers and colonists reached it in the late 17th century. Robert de LaSalle claimed the area for New France after his 1679 expedition on the Griffon.

In 1784, after the American Revolutionary War, the Potawatomi gave Francis Navarre of Canada some land south of the River Raisin. Shortly thereafter, Colonists settled Frenchtown, the third European community in what became the state of Michigan. Around the same time, French-Canadian Joseph Porlier Benec established the Sandy Creek Settlement just north of Frenchtown.[8]

Because of its proximity to Detroit, the area was of strategic importance during the War of 1812, especially after Fort Detroit surrendered to the British in August 1812. American forces en route to retake Detroit camped in the River Raisin area in the winter of 1812–13. On January 18, 1813, 600 Kentucky militiamen and 100 French under the command of James Winchester forced 200 Native Americans and 63 Canadian militia to retreat north away from the river. This skirmish was later called the "First Battle of the River Raisin".

On January 22, 1813, a force of 800 Native Americans and 597 British, under Henry Proctor, surprised the force of 1,000 Americans and captured Frenchtown. Many of the American militia were inexperienced, ill-trained, and badly equipped. They suffered 397 killed and 547 captured. The British and their allies had only slight losses.

When the British left with their captives for Detroit, they left those Americans too wounded to walk in the homes of Frenchtown inhabitants under the guard of a small British detachment and Native American allies, including Potawatomi. The morning after the battle, other Native Americans returned to Frenchtown. They plundered and burned homes and killed and ritually scalped many of the remaining American captives, taking others as slaves. The official U.S. estimate of casualties in this aftermath include a dozen named individuals killed and up to 30 more who were likely killed. The British estimated six Americans were killed.

This event became known as the "River Raisin Massacre". It was also known as the Battle of Frenchtown (or the Second Battle of the River Raisin).[9] Today, the site of the battle is preserved as River Raisin National Battlefield Park, authorized in 2009.[10] It is the first and so far only national battlefield established for a solely War of 1812 site. It has a small visitor center.[11]

George Armstrong Custer's statue, unveiled in 1910, is located at the corner of Elm Avenue and Monroe Street.

Frenchtown was renamed after the War of 1812 and incorporated as the village of Monroe in honor of President James Monroe, who visited Michigan Territory in 1817. The same year, the city of Monroe was named the county seat of the newly created Monroe County. Monroe was reincorporated as a city in 1837.[7]

Settled mostly by American migrants from New York and New England, Monroe became associated with events in the West in the later 19th century, particularly the Indian Wars. It was the childhood home of George Armstrong Custer, who had a military career in which he reached the rank of major general. His family moved there when he was young, and he lived in Monroe for much of his childhood. There he met and in 1864 married Elizabeth Bacon. In the later 19th century, he led troops in the Indian Wars and died at the Battle of the Little Bighorn, in which his forces were killed by the Lakota, who call it the Battle of the Greasy Grass.

In 1910, President William Howard Taft and Elizabeth Bacon Custer unveiled an equestrian statue of Custer, which now stands at the corner of Elm Avenue and Monroe Street.[12][13][14] Custer is also honored in street names, various historic markers, buildings, schools, and the regional Custer Airport.[15] City limit signs for Monroe call it "the home of General Custer."

The La-Z-Boy furniture company, known for its recliners, was founded in Monroe in 1927.[16] Its world headquarters is in Monroe, south of the intersection of La-Z-Boy Boulevard and Stewart Road. The facility is roughly half a mile east of the original location on Telegraph Road; the old building was demolished in 2021, and the site is being redeveloped.[17]

The Monroe Power Plant opened in 1974. It is the third largest coal-fired plant in the United States, with a capacity of 3,280 megawatts.[18] At 805 feet (245 m) tall, the dual smokestacks are visible from more than 25 miles (40 km) away and are among the state's tallest structures.

In December 1989, a combination of zebra mussels and ice clogged the sole intake pipe of the Monroe water treatment plant, forcing a two-day shutdown of the city's schools, industries, and businesses.[citation needed]

Geography

[edit]

Monroe is in eastern Monroe County, with its city limits extending southeast 3 miles (5 km) from downtown to Lake Erie. The city's average elevation is 594 feet (181 metres),[19] decreasing to 571 feet (174 metres)[20] at Lake Erie, which has the lowest elevation in Michigan. The Port of Monroe is the only Michigan port on Lake Erie,[21] and Sterling State Park, partially within the city limits, is the only one of Michigan's 103 state parks on or near Lake Erie.[22]

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the city has an area of 10.21 square miles (26.44 km2), of which 9.05 square miles (23.44 km2) are land and 1.17 square miles (3.03 km2), or 11.44%, are water.[2] The River Raisin travels through the city; it is non-navigable because of several dams and other obstructions.

Climate

[edit]

Monroe lies in the humid continental climate zone. It receives an average of 28.5 inches (72 cm) of snow a year — the lowest average snowfall for any large city in the state. July is the warmest month, with an average high temperature of 84 °F (29 °C), and January is the coldest, with an average low temperature of 16 °F (−9 °C). Monroe does not normally have extremely hot or cold temperatures, as its climate is moderated by the lake. On average, the temperature drops below 0 °F (−18 °C) only a couple of times per winter, and it is even rarer for the temperature to rise above 100 °F (38 °C) in the summer. The coldest recorded temperature was −21 °F (−29 °C) on February 5, 1918. The highest recorded temperature was 106 °F (41 °C) on July 24, 1934, with an equal temperature once recorded many years earlier.[23]

The Hall of the Divine Child, now the Norman Towers senior citizens residence, was a boarding school in Monroe from 1918 to 1980.

Monroe is served by Monroe Public Schools (MPS), which enrolls about 6,700 students.[30] MPS operates five elementary schools, a middle school, a high school, an alternative high school, and two specialized education centers.[31] At around 2,100 students, Monroe High School is one of the state's largest high schools. Monroe is also served by the Monroe County Intermediate School District, which provides services to other schools in the form of special education services, support staff, substitute teachers, and educational technology (such as computers and distance learning). Students in Monroe may also attend one of two public charter schools.

Railroads

[edit]

Present-day freight hauling railroads operating through and around Monroe are the Norfolk Southern, CSX, and the Canadian National. Historic railroads operating until the 1950s to 1960s were the Pere Marquette, Ann Arbor, Wabash, Grand Trunk Western, and the Detroit, Toledo, and Ironton. The Baltimore and Ohio had trackage rights with the PM and the Wabash upon which to operate its Detroit-to-Toledo passenger trains such as the Ambassador, which continued to Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New York City.[37]

Interurbans

[edit]

From 1900 to the 1930s, the electric Detroit United Railway (eventually becoming the Eastern Michigan Ry) operated hourly interurban passenger service between Detroit and Toledo through Monroe. The DU/EM provided passenger transportation and carried freight. The gradual business lost as Michigan and Ohio and their towns paved highways in the 1920s and the dramatic loss of business caused by the Great Depression shut the interurban down in 1932. The Eastern Michigan had carried considerable freight and passengers from Detroit to Cleveland exchanged with the Lake Shore Electric interurban at Toledo. It carried freight and passengers from Detroit to Dayton, Columbus, and Cincinnati exchanged with the Cincinnati and Lake Erie interurban at Toledo.[38]

Port

[edit]

The Port of Monroe is a seaport on Lake Erie. It is Michigan's only port on Lake Erie. The port handles a variety of cargo and is a growing hub for multimodal transportation in the region.
