"During the 1829-30 emigration came in  rapidly.  The inconvenience of being so remote from the county seat, New London, and the hope of more rapid settlement, induced the pioneers duing the latter part of the year 1830 to take steps to secure the organization of a new county... the same is hereby declared to be a separate and distinct county, to be known and called by the name of 'Monroe County.'"
