About Monroe County

Monroe County was named for President James Monroe.  Monroeville is the county seat of Monroe County, which combines the conveniences and amenities of an urban lifestyle, with the charm of a small town.

Monroe County was created by the Mississippi Territorial Governor David Holmes on 1815 June 29. It comprised all the Creek Indian lands ceded by the Treaty of Fort Jackson. It was reduced in size by the creation of the Alabama counties of Montgomery, Conecuh and Wilcox. It was named for U.S. President James Monroe.

Monroe County is located in the southwestern area of the state, in the Piney Woods region. It encompasses 1,019 square miles. The first county seat was established at Fort Clairborne; it was moved to Monroeville in 1832. Other towns include Beatrice, Peterman and Frisco City.  As of the census of 2000, there are 6,862 people
