Monroe, Administrative town in Orange County, New York, United States.
Monroe encompasses 21.3 square miles of land and water, featuring Round Lake, Walton Lake, and Mombasha Lake in the Hudson Valley region.
The town incorporated in 1799 was named after President James Monroe and developed from the Cheesecocks Patent granted by Queen Anne in 1707.
Monroe celebrates its dairy heritage through annual festivals commemorating the creation of Velveeta and Liederkranz cheese within its boundaries.
