The name Monticello was chosen because the city is situated at the base of a little mountain. In Monticello, an elementary school, a church and two businesses include Little Mountain in their name.

A new interchange was completed in 2006 on the east end of town, allowing residents full access to Interstate 94 from County Road 18. Since 2002, many retail outlets have been ...
