Monroe serves as the county seat for Union County, which is located in southern North Carolina near Charlotte. The population of the town is 30,392. Monroe is a very picturesque town with a Victorian era courthouse, built in 1886, that sits atop a central square. Government buildings lie to the north of the square and to the south is the quaint downtown shops and restaurants. Several fountains and small parks are also part of the downtown area. Union County has rolling hills and pastures and winding roads that lead to many "pick your own" farms and rivers and streams for fishing. Hiking and horseback riding are other popular activities in Monroe - in fact, Union County is known as the equestrian capital of the entire state. A Farmers Market is held in Monroe every Tuesday - Saturday on Skyway Drive. Other attractions in the city include the Historic Union County Courthouse/Heritage Room and the Union County Community Arts Council Gallery. In addition, Downtown Monroe sponsors several events throughout the year, including Steel on Wheels Car Show, Independence in the Park, Those Were the Days Antique & Collectible Fair, Halloween Happenings, Tour of Homes and Christmas Parade and Old Fashioned Tree Lighting.
