Monticello, FL - Artistic Welcome Signs on Waymarking.com

Monticello is "A Main Street Community" and proud of it. At the very center of the city, in the center of a traffic circle, is the beautiful and historic Jefferson County Courthouse, which is depicted on this welcome sign.

"Established in 1827, the City of Monticello is in the center of rural Jefferson County with a population of about 3,000. It is a small, working class community that serves as the county seat and supports the surrounding agricultural district.

Monticello is the largest population center in Jefferson County.

Historically, the City of Monticello has no equal in Northern Florida. Nestled among the tree lined streets of Monticello are many antebellum homes which provide a unique look and feel to the city.

During the depression of the 1930s, many of the residents of Monticello could not afford to build new homes and the houses were renovated or restored. Today, these homes offer tourists a rare glimpse of the original architectural styles which prevailed in the south prior to the civil war."
