History
The first road passing through what would become Marshall was laid in 1870. William Marshall, the town's namesake, arrived in 1878 and set up a sawmill two years later, which spurred growth in the community. The post office was established in March of the same year. The Spokane, Portland and Seattle Railway came through the town in the early 1900s. A school district was operated in Marshall until 1960 when it was merged with the Cheney school district.
Marshall was the site of a train derailment on the Northern Pacific line in August 1921.
From the early 1900s Marshall was one of the 47 townships in Spokane County that were each sent one representative to the county's government to represent the interests of the people of their township. The township included land that is now within the Spokane city limits.
