==History==

The area around Montrose has been occupied continuously since at least the 1780s, when Quashquame's village was established nearby. The area was strategically important because it is at the head of the Des Moines Rapids, a major impediment to river traffic that caused large boats to land in this area and transfer freight overland to avoid the rapids.〔Hallwas, John E. (2001) ''Keokuk and the Great Dam.'' Arcadia Publishing, Chicago.〕 Montrose was the location of Fort Des Moines No. 1, a military post from 1834-1837. From 1839-1846 Montrose was the home of many members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. This was especially true in 1839 when many people lived in an abandoned barracks at Montrose that served as a good short term residence while homes were being built in Nauvoo. Among Montrose's residents at this time were Brigham Young, Wilford Woodruff and Erastus Snow. Despite legends that the streets of Montrose were aligned to allow a direct view of the Nauvoo Temple across the Mississippi River in Illinois,〔Wills, Christopher. Associated Press (AP), December 7, 2007.〕 the streets actually align with the 1834 layout of Fort Des Moines.〔several maps exist of Fort Des Moines showing the same alignment as modern Montrose, including one drawn by Robert E. Lee, (1837) ''Map of the Des Moines Rapids of the Mississippi River. Surveyed by Lt. R. E. Lee, September 1837.'' National Archives, Washington, D. C.〕
