Monroe

Built around a steamboat landing on the Ouachita River, Monroe grew into the principal commercial city of northeastern Louisiana. The broad Ouachita connects the city with the river country of the Mississippi basin, while Bayou DeSiard runs through eastern neighbourhoods and beside the University of Louisiana Monroe. Downtown maintains a riverfront focus, and the Biedenharn Museum & Gardens occupies the former home of Joseph A. Biedenharn, a businessman associated with Coca-Cola’s early bottling history. The Chennault Aviation and Military Museum recalls Selman Field, where navigators trained during the Second World War.
