'''Marshall County''' is a [[U.S. county|county]] located in the [[U.S. state]] of [[Kansas]].  Its [[county seat]] and largest city is [[Marysville, Kansas|Marysville]].<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>  As of the [[2020 United States census|2020 census]], the county population was 10,038.<ref name="QF">{{cite web |title=QuickFacts; Marshall County, Kansas; Population, Census, 2020 & 2010 |url=https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/table/marshallcountykansas/POP010220 |publisher=United States Census Bureau |access-date=August 17, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210818024334/https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/table/marshallcountykansas/POP010220 |archive-date=August 18, 2021 |url-status=live}}</ref>  The county was named after Frank J. Marshall, a state representative who operated the first ferry over the Big Blue River.

==History==
{{See also|History of Kansas}}

The [[Oregon Trail]] crosses Marshall County. The infamous Donner Reed Party rested along the banks of the Big Blue river and lost one of its members, Sarah Keyes, who is still buried at Alcove Springs (located outside of Marysville). Many documented pioneer bodies are buried surrounding Alcove Springs.

In 1849 Francis James Marshall, from [[Weston, Missouri]], came to Marshall County and established a ferry service on the Big Blue River at "Independence Crossing."  A few years later Francis Marshall decided to stay on in Marshall County and make it his home. He moved his ferry business to an upper crossing now known as Marysville (the city is named after Marshall's own wife Mary).<ref>History of Kansas Vol. 2 By Andreas</ref>

On May 30, 1879, the "Irving, Kansas Tornado" passed through Marshall County. This [[tornado]] measured F4 on the [[Fujita scale]] and had a damage path {{convert|800|yd}} wide and {{convert|100|mi|km}} long. Eighteen people were killed and sixty were injured.<ref name="Sleicher1883">{{cite book|author=John Albert Sleicher|title=Leslie's|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=KUdaAAAAYAAJ|year=1883|publisher=F. Leslie}}</ref>

The Marshall County Historical Society resides in the county's historic courthouse, which is now a museum and research library.

==Government==

===Presidential elections===
Marshall County is, in common with most rural regions of the Great Plains states, a predominantly Republican county. The county has not been carried by a Democratic candidate in a presidential election since 1932,  and has only failed to back the Republican candidate in two other elections from 1888 on. The closest Democrats have come to winning the county since 1932 was in 1964, when [[Barry Goldwater]] only won it by 98 votes in the midst of a national landslide by [[Lyndon B. Johnson]], and 1992 when [[George H. W. Bush]] only won it by eight votes in conjunction with independent candidate [[Ross Perot]] winning a significant share of the vote.
