Union County was formed by an 1842 act of the N.C. General Assembly. The town of Monroe was incorporated on December 24, 1844 and named in honor of President James Monroe.
The December 1874 completion of the Carolina Central Railway between Wilmington and Charlotte brought important changes in the town's commercial standing. Monroe became a market town where the railroad brought manufactured goods that could be exchanged for regional agricultural products. Monroe's status as a hub in the railroad line meant that it became home to a large transient population known as Railway Men.
The Depression in the early 1930's brought the development of the downtown nearly to a halt. The establishment of Camp Sutton, a military base, in Monroe during World War II brought large numbers of soldiers and their families to the city, but very little new construction resulted in downtown. Although a few significant buildings have been demolished, such as the Monroe Opera House and Hotel Joffre, Monroe's Central Business District still reflects the period of Downtown Monroe's greatest prosperity as an agricultural and commercial center.
The City of Monroe still remains a hub of industrial and retail activity within the region and remains the focus of culture and commerce within Union County. Millions of dollars in renovations and façade improvements, annual festivals, and new interest in professional housing have made Downtown Monroe again the place for commerce and travelers alike.
