Monroe, Louisiana
Monroe (historically french: Poste-du-Ouachita) is the eighth-largest city in the U.S. state of Louisiana, and parish seat of Ouachita Parish. With a 2020 census-tabulated population of 47,702, it is the principal city of the Monroe metropolitan statistical area, the second-largest metropolitan area in North Louisiana.

The steamboat is depicted in a mural at the main branch of the Ouachita Parish Public Library. History Early history–late 20th century Monroe's origins date back to the Spanish colonial ...
