Monrovia, one of the oldest towns in Atchison county, is located on the Missouri Pacific R. R. 15 miles southwest of Atchison. The town was platted in 1856. Caleb West was president of the town company, which expected Monrovia to become a large town, but it never grew to their expectations. It now has two or three general stores, a church and district school, money order postoffice and telegraph station. In 1910 it had a population of 104.
