Monmouth is a city in Polk County in the U.S. state of Oregon. It was named for Monmouth, Illinois, the stock of its early settlers. The population is 11,110 at the 2020 Census and it is ration of the Salem Metropolitan Statistical Area.

Monmouth was granted in 1853 by a charity of pioneers who allocated 640 acres (2.6 km) to build both a city and a “college below the tutelage of the Christian Church”, and proceeds from the sale of these lands were used to found Monmouth University, currently known as Western Oregon University.
For decades, Monmouth was a sober town that banned the sale of alcoholic beverages in supermarkets, restaurants and bars. Monmouth’s status as the last temperate town in Oregon was ended by a popular vote in the November 2002 election.

Monmouth was contracted by Elijah Davidson and his family. Originally an elder of the Christian Church of Cameron (Monmouth, Illinois), Davidson was a devout advanced of prohibition. In 1850, sixty-seven-year-old Elijah Davidson and his relations set out for Oregon Territory. By 1854, more than a dozen additional church of Christ families from Monmouth, many of them combined to each extra or to Davidson, had joined him. In February 1859, Davidson and further trustees efforts to prohibit the importation, exportation, sale, and consumption of alcohol in Monmouth became a reality. One of the main arguments Davidson and his fellow religious supporters used to shove prohibition legislation was, “to enable them to suppress and prevent nuisances, to render the possession of moving picture and property more secure, to enable them to increase and titivate the streets of the town.”
