Marshall County was organized in March 1885 and originally included a good portion of Day County. The division of Day County was put to a vote in 1885. An election in July 1885 resulted in election of officers and naming Britton as the county seat. The county was named in honor of Marshall Vincent, one of the area's foremost citizens and a county commissioner.
