Mońki is a town in the Podlaskie Voivodeship, in northeastern Poland. It is the capital of Mońki County.
== History == In the 16th century, Mońki was a village owned by the Mońko family. In the 19th century, when building railroad from Grodno was in progress, in the neighborhood of Mońki a train station was built. After the First World War a Catholic church was built. In the late World War II Germans destroyed the church. After the war, in 1954, the village was adopted as capital of the Mońki county. That increased development of the village and in 1965 Mońki became a city. In 1975 the county was abolished, and then reestablished in 1999 (1998). From 1975 to 1998 it was part of the Białystok Voivodeship (1975–1998).
