Monmouth, OR Real Estate

Monmouth was settled in 1853 by a group of pioneers who made a point of allocating 640 acres (2.6 km ) to build both a city and a "college under the auspices of the Christian Church" according to Lewis MacArthur in his Oregon Geographic Names, and proceeds from the sale of these lands were used to found Monmouth University. Hence from the beginning of Monmouth, its college was part of the community. However, by the early 1880's the college fell on hard times. In 1882, ownership was transferred to the State of Oregon and it was renamed Oregon State Normal School at Monmouth. It is now known as Western Oregon University. Beyond the university, Monmouth is a mostly agricultural town.

An excellent history of Monmouth and the college was published by Ellis Stebbins, retired registrar of Oregon College of Education (the college name after Normal School)

For decades, Monmouth had a long-running rivalry with neighboring Independence, caused in part by Monmouth's ban on the sale of alcoholic beverages in supermarkets, restaurants and bars, and Independence's willingness to remedy this deficit. Monmouth's police department for many years would assign a number of officers to monitor the east city limits about the time the bars closed in Independence. This rivalry was exacerbated by the city's practice of dumping untreated sewage into Ash Creek, which one year flooded Independence with septic sludge.
