Town of Monroe

Monroe is a town in Waldo County, settled in 1789 and incorporated on January 12, 1818 from Lee Plantation. During the 19th century it exchanged land with Brooks three times, and annexed land from Frankfort in 1863.

Monroe is served by Maine Routes 139, between Brooks and Winterport, and 141 from Swanville. The World War I memorial is at the intersection of these highways.

Small streams, marshes, and ponds dot the landscape in this rural community.
