Summary
| Description |
English: Around 1820, Joel Monroe, a farmer from Virginia, purchased a 125-acre farm, and moved to western Pennsylvania with his young family. The Monroe farm extended from the Old Stone Church to the present municipal building, and southward to the entrance to Garden City. It was Joel Monroe who, by selling off small lots along the Turnpike, encouraged development in the core of the emerging community. In January 1851, Joel Monroe became the first postmaster, with the office in his home along what is currently William Penn Highway (Route 22). The modern community is named after its first postmaster.
