Monroeville (also, Munroeville),[2] named for its founder U. P. Monroe, was the county seat of Colusa County from 1851 to 1853.[2] It was located 15 miles (24 km) north of Butte City,[2] near the mouth of Stony Creek in northeastern Glenn County, at an elevation of 128 feet (39 m).[1] The people of the community of Colusa fought for and eventually won the right to become the County Seat in 1853. A post office operated at Monroeville from 1853 to 1862.[2] The area containing Monroeville was eventually absorbed into Glenn County when that county was formed in 1891.[1]

For the community in Mendocino County formerly with this name, see Hales Grove, California.
