History

The city quickly became a major city in the state because of its position as a gateway to Texas on several major stage coach lines. The Republic of Texas decided to choose the site of land granted by Peter Whetstone and Isaac Van Zandt after Whetstone had proven that the hilly location had a good water source. It is the county seat of Harrison County, Texas County .

= The city was founded in 1841 as the seat of Harrison County, after repeated failed attempts to establish a county seat on the Sabine River (Texas-Louisiana) River since the county was established in 1839, and was incorporated in 1843. Towards the end of the Civil War Richmond, Virginia had $9 million in Treasury notes and $3 million in postage stamps shipped to Marshall, possibly meaning that Marshall was the intended destination of a government preparing to flee from advancing armies. Marshall is a city of the Northeast Texas region of the US state of Texas.
