West Monroe: I-20 at Stella St
West Monroe lies along the Ouachita River, its low, wooded Louisiana setting faces Monroe across the waterway. Together the two cities form the core of the Monroe metropolitan area in northeastern Louisiana, with Interstate 20 providing the principal east–west route through the urban area. West Monroe developed as a lumber town, and its commercial identity includes the historic downtown district along Trenton Street, known as Antique Alley. The city is also home to Duck Commander, the duck-call business that became nationally known through the television series Duck Dynasty. The riverfront setting, highway links and close relationship with Monroe give West Monroe a distinctly paired-city character.

The river remains the defining geographic line here, placing the community in the lowland setting of northeastern Louisiana and along a wider Ouachita River corridor. Downtown’s Antique Alley, centered on Trenton Street, is known for its concentration of antique shops and independent businesses. West Monroe was once called Cotton Port, a name recalling the river trade and cotton economy that shaped this bank of the Ouachita.
