Monroe County, Administrative county in Michigan, US.
Monroe County spans across the western shores of Lake Erie, encompassing both urban developments and agricultural lands across its territory.
The county gained its official designation in 1817, marking a transition from the earlier Frenchtown settlement along the River Raisin.
The county maintains multiple parks and recreational facilities where residents participate in outdoor activities throughout the four seasons.
The Board of Commissioners meets regularly at the county courthouse to discuss and implement policies affecting the local population.
The Monroe Power Plant, constructed in 1974, operates as the third largest coal-powered facility in the United States.
