The Monroe City Mill was a grist mill located in Monroe City, Illinois, an unincorporated community in the historic Bluff Precinct of Monroe County, Illinois, United States. Monroe County was founded in 1816. Prior to that, the area was part of St. Clair County in the Illinois Territory. The Mill was built in 1800 and ceased operation in 1899. The stone foundation, including the water wheel arch, remain today on the original site. The Mill was located on the north bank of the Monroe City Creek, about one quarter mile below its source at a karst spring. The creek provided water to power the mill. The valley created by erosion from the creek is generally referred to as "the Monroe City Hollow." Over the years, the Mill has been referred to by a number of names, primarily reflecting ownership: Kinney's Mill from 1800 until about 1823; James' Mill from about 1823 until 1849; Garretson and Harlow's Mill from about 1850 to 1866; Ziebold's Mill from 1867 until about 1899. It was also generally known as the Monroe City Mill beginning in 1856 when the Town of Monroe City was platted. In 1798, Josiah Ryan built the original mill in the Monroe City Hollow about 2 miles west of the Monroe City Mill site, also on the banks of the Monroe City Creek.
