Monroe started life as a Mormon settlement named South Bend in 1863-1864. The name was soon changed to Alma after a Book of Mormon prophet. Due to uprisings by Native Americans who were suffering from food shortages after the settlers moved onto their traditional hunting grounds, the new settlement had to be abandoned in 1867. The site was resettled in 1871 and obtained a US Post Office with the name Monroe after the US President.

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.
