HistoryOn May 15, 1656, the Court of the Colony of Connecticut in Hartford affirmed that the town of Stratford included all of the territory {{convert|12|mi}} inland from Long Island Sound, between the Housatonic River and the Fairfield town line, to include the southern portion of present-day Monroe. In 1662, Stratford selectmen Lt. Joseph Judson, Captain Joseph Hawley and John Minor secured all the written deeds of transfer from the Golden Hill Paugussett Indian Nation for this vast territory that comprises the present-day towns of Trumbull, Shelton and Monroe. In 1671, Stratford purchased from the Paugusset Indians the territory which included the remainder of the northern portions of Monroe, Trumbull and Shelton, in what is known as "The White Hills Purchase", and officially annexed it to the Township of Stratford. Monroe incorporated as a town in 1823. The community is named after James Monroe, fifth President of the United States.[3] Demographics{{US Census population|1850= 1442 |1860= 1382 |1870= 1226 |1880= 1157 |1890= 994 |1900= 1043 |1910= 1002 |1920= 1161 |1930= 1221 |1940= 1728 |1950= 2892 |1960= 6402 |1970= 12047 |1980= 14010 |1990= 16896 |2000= 19247 |2010= 19479 |estyear=2014 |estimate=19867 |estref=[4] |footnote=U.S. Decennial Census[5] |1830=1522|1840=1351}}{{See also|List of Connecticut locations by per capita income}} As of the census[6] of 2000, there were 19,247 people, 6,481 households, and 5,346 families residing in the town.
