Description
Ceded by the Creek Indians in 1821, Monroe County was settled by hundreds of small-plot Georgia land-owners during the Lottery Act.
Named after President James Monroe, the growing county needed a new courthouse as it neared the end of the century. Built in 1896, the red-brick High Victorian occupies a large central square in Forsyth. The architectural design is one of the most elegant of all the 19th century courthouses in the state. The courthouse was honored with its placement on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
