History

Because the US Postal Department would not allow any new post offices to use double names, the post office, and eventually the town, became known simply as“Monroe.” By 1893 the city had become an important stop on the rail line and was best known for the GN Greenhouses which grew flowers for the passengers to purchase. It is a lone reminder of this forgotten industrial era and, despite its age, it remains much taller than any other structure in the city. Prior to that time the main settlement in the area had been located about one mile West of where the downtown eventually grew up and was known as Park Place. 1894 saw the construction of the first high bridge over the Skykomish river and 1896 the construction of the first church (building) In 1899 the grammar school was relocated from its old site in Park Place to a new site in Monroe and the town’s newspaper, The Monroe Monitor, began publication on January 14 of the same year. The old part of town stands much as it always has, on Main Street away from the busy highway, and has managed to preserve much of its small town character.
