Marshall

Overview
An incorporated city in southern San Angelo County, Marshall is a predominantly rural community of about 15,000. Marshall anchors the vanishing farming heritage of San Angelo County. Marshall has its own city council and small police department. A volunteer fire department with a core of paid personnel provides fire protection.

Agriculture and ag-related industry provide most of the jobs in Marshall. Tractor dealers, farm insurers, canneries and feed stores are just a few of the key businesses in town. Outside town are numerous dairies, along with some farmland and cattle ranches.

The Marshall Airport, home to several crop dusters, lies on the edge of town, and the San Angelo County Landfill is just a few miles away.

History
An earthquake hit the town of Marshall on August 3, 1918, destroying 12 buildings in the old-fashioned downtown district. The quake also caused moderate damage in San Angelo.
