Monroe, Louisiana
Population: 53,107
Located in Ouachita Parish
Through the very heart of the American South, in the northeastern quadrant of Louisiana, there flows a beautiful river. This river - named "Ouachita" by the earliest inhabitants of this extraordinary land - runs through one of the richest agricultural regions in America as it winds its way slowly towards the Gulf of Mexico. Spreading up and away from the river are the dynamic Twin Cities of Monroe and West Monroe.
Sleepy little Southern town? Hardly! Delta Air Lines was born here. The first Coca-Cola bottling plant began operations here. A Fortune 500 Company (CenturyTel) has its world headquarters here. We boast a rich history of celebrating life: we are dedicated patrons of the Arts; we vigorously support quality entertainment; we enjoy a delicious regional cuisine. Our diverse culture includes the Monroe Symphony Orchestra, Twin City Ballet, Masur Museum of Fine Art, Emmy-Lou Biedenharn Bible Research Center, Strauss Little Theatre, Louisiana Purchase Gardens and Zoo, Antique Alley. The Twin Cities boast two public school systems as well as several private and parochial schools. Beyond high school, residents may choose from three universities within 30 miles - Northeast Louisiana University, Grambling State University, and Louisiana Tech University.
With an abundance of natural resources that supports economic development and provides magnificent outdoor recreational opportunities, our community offers an ideal location for growing a business and growing a family.
