'''Marshall''' is a city in [[Lyon County, Minnesota|Lyon County]], [[Minnesota]], United States. The population was 13,628 at the [[2020 United States census|2020 census]],<ref name="2020 Census (City)">{{cite web|title=Explore Census Data |url=https://data.census.gov/profile/Marshall_city,_Minnesota?g=160XX00US2740688 |publisher=[[United States Census Bureau]] |access-date=January 8, 2024}}</ref> and 13,906 as of 2023 estimates.<ref>{{Cite web |title=City and Town Population Totals: 2020-2023 |url=https://www.census.gov/data/tables/time-series/demo/popest/2020s-total-cities-and-towns.html |access-date=2024-06-07 |website=Census.gov}}</ref> Marshall is a regional center in southwest Minnesota, and the [[county seat]] of Lyon County.<ref name="GR6">{{cite web|url=http://www.naco.org/Counties/Pages/FindACounty.aspx|access-date=June 7, 2011|title=Find a County|publisher=National Association of Counties}}</ref> It is the headquarters of the [[Schwan Food Company]] and the home of [[Southwest Minnesota State University]].

==History==
Marshall was [[plat]]ted in 1872 when the railroad was extended to that point.<ref>{{cite book|last=Upham|first=Warren|title=Minnesota Geographic Names: Their Origin and Historic Significance|url=https://archive.org/details/minnesotageogra00uphagoog|year=1920|publisher=Minnesota Historical Society|page=[https://archive.org/details/minnesotageogra00uphagoog/page/n332 313]}}</ref> Lake Marshall Township had been established in the area two years earlier, and included a post office and several farms. Before that, the site was occasionally used as a campground for groups of [[Santee Sioux|Dakota]], who hunted and traveled throughout the region. After much discussion, James J. Manton decided on Marshall in honor of Governor [[William R. Marshall]].<ref>{{cite book|author=Chicago and North Western Railway Company|title=A History of the Origin of the Place Names Connected with the Chicago & North Western and Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha Railways|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=OspBAQAAMAAJ&pg=PA99|year=1908|page=99}}</ref>

The town grew rapidly. In 1873, [[Samuel Biglari]] published Marshall's first newspaper, the ''Prairie Schooner''. In the October 25, 1873, issue, he wrote, "Nine months ago the first house was erected. Now there are 79 permanent buildings already constructed, and this number will be increased by others already planned." Marshall became an incorporated village in 1876 and a city on February 20, 1901. In April 1874, the local paper estimated Marshall's population at 300; by 1900 the population was 2,088. Holy Redeemer Catholic Church was built in 1884. The Weiner Memorial Hospital was built in 1950. Also during the 1950s, Marvin Schwan transformed his dairy into an ice-cream home-delivery service, which eventually grew into the Schwan Food Company.<ref>Radzilowski, J. (1997). ''Prairie town: A history of Marshall, Minnesota, 1872-1997''. Marshall, MN: Lyon County Historical Society.</ref>

The flooding of the [[Redwood River]] had historically been a problem in Marshall. The city experienced a series of floods in the 1940s and 1950s. Diversion canals were constructed between 1961 and 1963, but occasional flooding still occurs, notably in 1993. Another project in 1997 removed {{convert|107,000|m3|yd3|abbr=off|sp=us}} of sediment from the diversion channel. The diversion channel and Redwood River underwent major upstream and downstream improvements, completed in December 2000. During the spring and fall of 2010, the Marshall area experienced unseasonably high amounts of moisture, but the Redwood River remained within its banks through town.

[[SMSU|Southwest Minnesota State University]] was founded in 1963 and opened in 1967. Most of the campus was constructed between 1967 and 1973.

==Geography==
Marshall is situated at latitude 44.47N and longitude -95.78W, with an elevation of {{convert|354|m|ft|abbr=off|sp=us}} above sea level. The city is {{convert|150|km|mi|abbr=on}} northeast of [[Sioux Falls, South Dakota|Sioux Falls]], [[South Dakota]], and {{convert|238|km|mi|abbr=on}} southwest of [[Minneapolis]]. It is in the Central Standard time zone and has the [[ZIP code]] 56258. According to the [[United States Census Bureau]], the city has an area of {{convert|10.08|sqmi|sqkm|2}}, of which {{convert|10.07|sqmi|sqkm|2}} is land and {{convert|0.01|sqmi|sqkm|2}} is water.<ref name="Gazetteer files">{{cite web|title=US Gazetteer files 2010|url=https://www.census.gov/geo/www/gazetteer/files/Gaz_places_national.txt|publisher=[[United States Census Bureau]]|access-date=November 13, 2012|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120702145235/http://www.census.gov/geo/www/gazetteer/files/Gaz_places_national.txt|archive-date=July 2, 2012}}</ref> It is in a predominantly rural and agricultural area that was originally an expanse of northern [[tallgrass prairie]]. The Redwood River's [[flood plain]] begins in Marshall.

[[U.S. Route 59#Minnesota|U.S. Highway 59]] and Minnesota State Highways [[Minnesota State Highway 19|19]], [[Minnesota State Highway 23|23]], and [[Minnesota State Highway 68|68]] are four of the main routes in the city. Greyhound Bus Lines provides intercity service.

The [[Southwest Minnesota Regional Airport]]-Marshall/Ryan Field is a municipal airport. The {{convert|2,200|m|ft|abbr=off|sp=us|adj=on}} runway can handle commercial airliners. Marshall is not served by scheduled air service, but charter flights are available.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.marshallmn.com/portal/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=300&Itemid=333 |title=City of Marshall, MN - Southwest Minnesota Regional Airport-Marshall/Ryan Field |access-date=May 16, 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120522061829/http://www.marshallmn.com/portal/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=300&Itemid=333 |archive-date=May 22, 2012 }}</ref>
