Montrose was founded upon the lands of D.C. Cross and Joseph Patten in 1871. At the time of the founding of Montrose, Germantown, which was located four and one-half miles northwest, was a thriving little village of several hundred inhabitants, and was the business point of quite an extensive scope of country. Until 1870, Germantown seemed to have a bright future, but the location of the railroad three miles away attracted people to the present site of Montrose. Some ancestors of present day residents arrived by Orphan Trains in the late 1800's and early 1900's.
