That's funny. I have family in a mausoleum there. When my son & I were driving back from New Orleans I wanted to stop and pay our respects. One of my son's co-workers told me there is nothing in Monroe. What he failed to mention is that there is pretty much nothing between Baton Rouge and Monroe.
I thought I lived in about the most backwater place in the world. The population of our County hasn't changed since the Civil War.
Delta Airline started in Monroe, LA...
DF
and anyone with any sense flew out on same.
Delta still has 4 flights a day, to and from Atlanta. Other airlines with 3-4 flights a day to and from Houston and DFW.
So, quite a busy airport, serves a large NE LA, SE AR and MS Delta area. You can see where Delta got it's name.
