The 45th Monrovia day was a great day to remember all the hard work and efforts put into place to make the capital city of Liberia to have a successful law and order that its citizens can abide to.

Whereas from 1835 to 1922 the city of Monrovia existed as a municipal government; and whereas the legislative Act of February 8, 1922 abolished the Municipal status of the city of Monrovia and created a lieu thereof a commonwealth district with a commissioner who served as ceremonial head of the commonwealth district; and whereas the legislative Act approved July 19, 1973 and published August 16, repealed the 1922 Act creating the Commonwealth District of Monrovia and created in lieu thereof, the city of Monrovia, Montserrado.
