Monroe County is a county located in the
south central part of the U.S. state of Iowa. In the
early 20th century, it was a center of bituminous coal
mining and in 1910 had a population of more than 25,000.
As mining declined, people moved elsewhere for work. The
county seat is Albia. The county was named for James
Monroe, fifth President of the United
States.
