Monroeville (also, Munroeville),[2] named for its founder U. P. Monroe, was a town located near the Sacramento River in Glenn County, California.

It was located 15 miles (24 km) north of Butte City,[2] near the mouth of Stony Creek, at an elevation of 128 feet (39 m).

The people of the community of Colusa fought for and eventually won the right to become the County Seat in 1853.

Monroeville disappeared from maps by 1874, and the only remaining trace of the town is a cemetery.

[3] Settler William B. Ide, leader of the Bear Flag Revolt of 1846, died in Monroeville in 1852.
