About Marshall
Marshall is a Texas city situated in the
northeastern region, being the county seat of
Harrison County. It is also known under different
nicknames such as the Cultural Capital of East
Texas, the Gateway of Texas, the Athens of Texas,
and the City of Seven Flags due to the fact that it
is considered a major cultural and educational
center in East Texas and the tri-state area (the
Ark-La-Tex region). Marshall is also the
self-proclaimed Pottery Capital of the World for its
impressive pottery industry.
The city of Marshall boasts with a rich historical
past: what you should know about Marshall is that it
was a political and production center of the
Confederacy during the period of the Civil War and
also a major railroad point of the T&P Railroad
during the period of the late 19th and mid-20th
centuries. Marshall has a largely African American
population, which lead to the presence of black
institutions of higher learning. This made Marshall
a center of the movement for the civil rights in the
South.
