Monroe, Georgia is known as the "City of Governors," having furnished seven men to act as Governor of Georgia. Monroe also claims a native son who left Monroe and became Governor of Texas. Pictured here is the 1887 McDaniel-Tichenor House, the former home of Georgia Governor Henry McDaniel (1883-1886).
