== Fun facts ==
* Lamar County wasn't the only safe stronghold in the 1940s. A few of Monroe County's communities - Hatley, Gattman and Splunge, were pretty heavily anti-Team Rocket as well, but not to the point of killing members' Pokemon when they were caught in the act.
* Parts of Monroe County suffered severe damage from an F4 tornado that tore through the county on March 30th, 1998, including the city of Amory.
* Monroe County was a big PokeBlues hotspot during the 1950s, and while only one real famous singer came from here, it used to be a popular place for Pokemon who sang blues, and one of few outside of the Delta.
* The ruins of the old town of Cotton Gin Port can still be found between the Tenn-Tom Waterway and the Tombigbee River, and relics from the old settlement can be seen at the Amory Municipal Museum. Chief Levi Colbert is said to have lived on the bluff west of Cotton Gin Port, near the old cotton gin where there was a large spreading oak known as the council tree.
* State Highway 8's eastern terminus at U.S. 278 is at Wise Gap.
* Smithville is the last place in the United States where a Team Rocket member who had committed a serious crime (in this case, Ezekiel Lindsay, who shot and killed seven wild Pokemon in a two-week span in Monroe and Itawamba counties), was publicly hung after being caught, the incident occurring in October of 2007.
