Cake 221- Monroe County Courthouse

Found December 7, 2014


Monroe Country Courthouse is located in Waterloo, IL.  The county seat is located in Waterloo, while the largest city in the county is Columbia.  Its western border is part of the American Bottom Floodplain, while the eastern is flat and was originally prairie.  The transition zone is filled with limestone bluffs and was beautiful to drive through.  The county was named for James Monroe, who had just served as United States Secretary of War, and was elected as president later that year.
