Montrose is an unincorporated community on the border between Bath Township, Copley Township, and the city of Fairlawn in Summit County, Ohio, United States. [1] It is an area of restaurants, stores, and businesses located along a stretch of State Route 18 near Interstate 77. The community is served by the Fairlawn (44333) post office. [2] It is included in the Montrose-Ghent census-designated place. It had been a quiet hamlet for much of its history, with such establishments as a drive-in theater, golf courses, and a church. It became a busy retail area in the 1990s as new commercial development moved in.

Montrose was originally called Latta's Corners and then Ellis' Corners. [3] The community first developed around a tavern built by one Mr. Latta. [4] A post office called Montrose was established in 1849, and remained in operation until 1911. [5] The present name most likely is derived from wild roses near the elevated town site. [6]
