History
In 1831, Monrovia became a station on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and provided service to the mills and access for travelers to New Market, MD. A watering station for the trains was built later in 1840. Monrovia was impacted by the Civil War with the Monrovia General Store, used as a dry goods store from the mid-nineteenth century until the early twentieth century, being sacked by Confederate troops after the Battle of Monocacy. During the Civil War, Monrovia also made the front page of the September 16, 1862 issue of The New York Herald:
