As of the 2010 census, the county population was 10,117.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/20/20117.html )〕 The largest city and county seat is Marysville.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2011-06-07 )〕 ==History== The Oregon Trail crosses Marshall County. The Infamous Donner Reed Party rested along the banks of our rivers 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 Spring. 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).〔History of Kansas Vol. 2 By Andreas〕 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 wide and long. Eighteen people were killed and sixty were injured. The Marshall County Historical Society resides in the counties historic courthouse. Which is now a Museum and Research Library. The building is grand and beautiful. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Marshall County, Kansas」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
