Monroe started out as a fort known as Fort Miro. The fort later became known simply as Monroe after a man named James Monroe, who brought a steam powered paddle-wheeler up the Ouachita. The presence of the steamboat enabled the growth of the fort, and it was transformed from an outpost to an official town.
