Discover West Monroe
West Monroe was first laid out in 1837 as Byron by John Campbell, at the foot of the ferry landing across from Monroe, but the town floundered and Campbell went bankrupt. Christopher Dabbs, a doctor from Virginia, bought the area and submitted plans for a town called Cotton Port in 1854, which was officially recognized in 1859. It too languished until the Vicksburg, Shreveport and Pacific Railway arrived and a bridge was built over the Ouachita River, after which Cotton Port boomed as a river port and rail depot. West Monroe is a separate municipality from Monroe and had 13,103 residents at the 2020 census.
