MARSHALL AREA MAP |
|||
Marshall is in Harrison County in Northeastern Texas. The 2000 census population of Marshall was 23,935. Marshall serves as a cultural and education center extending into Louisiana and Arkansas. Marshall was first settled in 1839, becoming the county seat of Harrison County in 1842. In 1861, when Texas decided to leave the American Union for awhile, Marshall was one of the biggest and wealthiest towns in Texas, producing clothing, harnesses, saddles, gun powder and ammunition for the Confederacy. After the falling of Vicksburg, Marshall became the seat of civil Confederate authority west of the Mississippi River. |
