History
Formed in 1835 from St. Joseph County, Cass County and Elkhart County
An old deed may name a county that no longer exists, or a boundary that has since moved.
Marshall County was created on February 7, 1835, from parts of St. Joseph, Cass, and Elkhart counties, but remained partially organized with portions attached to those three counties for administrative purposes. On April 1, 1836, Marshall County gained additional territory from Elkhart and St. Joseph counties and became fully organized and independent.
