West Monroe has an estimated population of 3,450 people, most of them being on rural delivery. West Monroe was originally going to be named "Monroe" after President James Monroe, however, there were already two other towns in New York State that had that name. It was decided, since this town was the furthest west of the three, it would be called "West Monroe". West Monroe is a quiet community along the northern shore of Oneida Lake with its past going back to around 1808, when it was split off from a large plot of property that was owned by the state. Electric lights came to West Monroe in 1938, telephones came in 1945, roads in the town were named in 1952, and in 1969 street lights were put up at intersections.

Visit Instructions:
To post a log to an existing U.S. Post Office waymark, you will need to post a picture of the front of the building, with the name of the post office in the background if that is possible.

A description of your Post Office is required, such as when it was built, history, outstanding or unique features, population of the city or town, just do a quick internet search and find an interesting bit of information about the city or town and add it to the long description, to make it more interesting. Even just adding in the population of the area can give others an idea of how many people this post office serves. This description should be at least three sentences.

If your Post Office has any unusual or unique features that you feel others would enjoy viewing, additional pictures are always welcome.
Including your gps device in the picture is not necessary, but wouldn't be cause for disapproval, as long as all other details of your log are acceptable.
