Monroe is a small unincorporated communityinLauramie Township, Tippecanoe County, in the U.S. stateofIndiana.[1] The community is part of the Lafayette, Indiana Metropolitan Statistical Area.

History[edit]

A post office was established under the name Huntersville[2] in 1836; it was renamed Monroe in 1840, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1853.[3]

Monroe originally included three northwest/southeast streets (Darlington, Main, and Patterson) and three northeast/southwest streets (Fayette, Columbia, and Lauramie).[4]

Geography[edit]

Monroe stands in mostly open farmland at the intersection of US Route 52 and County Road 900 South, about 10 miles southeast of the city of Lafayette and less than two miles east of the town of Stockwell. Monroe Cemetery is on the west side of town, and Lauramie Creek flows westward just to the south.
