Monroe COMMUNITY PROFILE

Transcription

1 Monroe COMMUNITY PROFILE Monroe, named after President James Monroe, was incorporated in 1902 with 325 citizens. The population swelled to nearly 2,000 over the next seven years, due in part, to the location of two new employers in the Monroe area. With the encouragement and support of the newly formed Monroe Commercial Club, the Pacific Coast Condensed Milk Company (Carnation) and the new Washington State Reformatory opened for business. By 1910, a new brick building on East Main was completed to house City hall, the Fire House and the new library (now home to Historical Society). Between 1910 and 1980, the population of Monroe experienced little change. The completion of SR2 and SR522 linked Monroe to the metropolitan areas of Everett and Seattle. The City of Monroe has a strong Mayor/Council form of government. The Mayor is elected by the citizens and serves a four-year term, with the Mayor as the chief administrative officer responsible for managing the city. Monroe is now experiencing a second period of rapid growth. Like those early residents, people are drawn to Monroe because of its economic opportunities, natural beauty and small town atmosphere.
