The Village of Marshall, Wisconsin, lies within Dane County, east of the City of Sun Prairie along the Maunesha River. The 2000 population of Marshall, WI was 3,432. Via the Crawfish and Rock Rivers, the Maunesha River is part of the Mississippi River watershed. The Maunesha is formed in the town of Bristol in Dane County from a collection of headwaters tributaries flowing from Columbia County. It flows generally westward through northeastern Dane County, northwestern Jefferson County (past the city of Waterloo) and southwestern Dodge County where it joins the Crawfish River in the town of Portland, Wisconsin.

In June of 1837, 45 men forged their way from Milwaukee to Madison to begin construction of the new state capitol. Three of these men, Andrew & Zenas Bird and Aaron Petrie, made a mental note of an idyllic location to begin their new homes, but months of labor ended in October of 1838 when an autumn prairie fire destroyed a public building and the beginning of a sawmill. For more than a decade, the present day village was known desparagingly as Bird’s Ruins.

But as the surrounding area grew back and the nearby Watertown/Madison stretch grew in commercial and population travel, the region continued to attract interest from would-be residents yearning for a suitable community to build their homes. Known throughout its history by a variety of long-forgotten names (Bird's Ruins, Medina, Hanchetville, and Howard City), the now thriving Bird's Ruins community was renamed in the mid-1880s by Madison Real Estate Samuel Marshall, who had purchased much of the land in the village from Asahel Anchett.

Today's Marshall, Wisconsin offers an enjoyable small-town atmosphere for both those who seek the rural life as well as those looking to work in - but regularly seek refuge from - the hectic pace of Madison, the state capital charged with a frenetic pace of government, academia and commerce. Nevertheless, along with that pace comes numerous opportunities for entertainment, fun, activities of all kinds, and shopping. Dane County, itself, is widely known for its natural beauty and unique natural features - and Marshall's residents delight in using their home town as a base to meander throughout the county, the Capital region and all of southern Wisconsin to enjoy nature at its best.
