Monticello, the county seat founded in 1827, is located five miles north of I-10 (Exit 225) and 24 miles east of Tallahassee where US 19 and 90 intersect in the middle of town. A quaint roundabout encircles the Courthouse. A National Main Street community, Monticello is one of the most charming and historical towns in Florida.
