Established in 1830, the early settlers expected Marshall to become Michigan's state capitol. Thus it drew dozens of doctors, lawyers, ministers, business people and land speculators.
Due to its beginning, it has a storehouse of 19th century American small town architecture. Marshall was a station on the Underground Railroad and a strong anti-slavery town.
