Monroe (location)

Monroe is a town in the former state of Connecticut.

Background
This location, named after James Monroe, the fifth president of the United States of America, is the hometown of Gilbert Hopson. Before the Great War, Gilbert and his wife Millicent lived in Monroe and enjoyed a peaceful life with Gilbert working as a high school history and literature teacher.

The town was affected like many towns in the former United States, with Millicent developing cancer from radiation and eventually passing. This led to Gilbert leaving Monroe, eventually settling near Vault-Tec University in Appalachia.

Appearances
Monroe is mentioned only in Fallout 76, introduced in the Wastelanders update.

Behind the scenes
Monroe is based on the real world location of the same name in Fairfield County, Connecticut.
