Early settlers found Monroe to be perfect location for fur trades set amongst easy water access with Lake Erie to the east and the River Raisin opening into what is now called the Port of Monroe. As more and more settlers made their way west, Monroe had become the regions hot-spot for travelers and industry growth. In fact, it was thought that Monroe would eventually become a major metropolitan area similar to that of Detroit and Ann Arbor to the north and Toledo, Ohio to the south.
Fortunately, Monroe Michigan and the surrounding area has remained a convenient, safe and conservative community. Many residents choose to live in the peace and quiet of Monroe County while taking advantage of the quick access to Detroit, Ann Arbor and Toledo for work. It's a win-win situation. Transportation routes include I23, running north and south at Monroe's western border from Ann Arbor to Toledo and Sylvania, Ohio and I75 along Lake Erie running north and south between Detroit and Toledo. Continue on I75 and you'll find yourself on a cross county trip to Sault St. Marie and Canada in the far north or perhaps Florida in the south.

Also, take advantage of world-class fishing opportunities and charter services.
