Marysville is a city in and the county seat of Marshall County, Kansas, United States.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2011-06-07 )〕 As of the 2010 census, the city population was 3,294.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://factfinder2.census.gov/faces/tableservices/jsf/pages/productview.xhtml?pid=DEC_10_PL_GCTPL2.ST13&prodType=table )〕 ==History== Marysville was laid out in 1855 by Francis J. Marshall, and designated in that same year the county seat. It was incorporated as a city in 1861. Marysville was located on the Oregon Trail and the route of the Pony Express, the St. Joe Road, the Overland Stage, The Military Road, and the Otoe-Missouria Trail. British explorer Richard Francis Burton en route to California in 1860 noted: "Passing by Marysville, in old maps Palmetto City, a country-town which thrives by selling whiskey to ruffians of all descriptions ..."〔Richard Burton, (1862) ''The Look of the West 1860'', Lincoln: Univ. Nebraska Press, reprint, n.d., p.36.〕 The old Pony Express Station still stands in downtown Marysville. Marysville owes much of its prosperity to the Union Pacific Railroad. The railroad has been a major employer in the town for nearly 100 years. Over 60 trains pass through the town daily and the railroad recently completed an underpass which redirects the tracks below US-36, rather than crossing the highway and backing up traffic. Marysville is also known as the "Black Squirrel City" due to an isolated community of all-black squirrels that make their homes in the town. The squirrels are said to be the result of escapees from a traveling circus.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=Blue Skyways )〕 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「Marysville is a city in and the county seat of Marshall County, Kansas, United States.(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2011-06-07 ) As of the 2010 census, the city population was 3,294.(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://factfinder2.census.gov/faces/tableservices/jsf/pages/productview.xhtml?pid=DEC_10_PL_GCTPL2.ST13&prodType=table )==History==Marysville was laid out in 1855 by Francis J.
