MARSHALL, TEXAS. Marshall is located on
Interstate Highway 20 approximately thirty-nine miles west of Shreveport,
Louisiana, in central Harrison County. Harrison County was marked off in
1839. Two years later, in an effort to influence the commissioners who were
choosing a site for the county seat, Peter Whetstone offered land for a
courthouse, a church, and a school. The offer was accepted, and the town,
named by Isaac Van Zandt in honor of Chief Justice John Marshall, became the
county seat in 1842. It was incorporated by the Texas legislature in 1844
and enlarged in 1850 to include an area of one square mile with the
courthouse at the center.
