Monmouth, a village in Crawford county, is located in Sheridan township on the St. Louis & San Francisco R. R., 12 miles south of Girard, the county seat. It has an elevator, a few stores, churches and a school, telegraph and express offices and a money order postoffice with one rural route. The population according to the census of 1910 was 179. This is said to be the oldest town in Crawford county, having been laid off by L. Manlove on his own farm in 1866. The postoffice was established in that year and Manlove was the first postmaster.
