The Monroe County Fair has an interesting history. It has been located in many places over the last two centuries. The year that the fair was held near the Ohio-Michigan line south of Lambertville, Michigan is one of the earliest county fairs that can be recalled by local residents. Other Monroe County fairs were held as early as the 1830's at Noble's Grove, at the foot of Washington Street.

Another early site for the fair was between North Macomb and North Monroe Streets. About 1894, the County fair was located east of Eastchester Street on the south side of East Front Street. Others were held where the Detroit Stoker Company is now located; and fairs at the turn of the century were held in Dundee, Michigan.
