Wolf River and Coldwater River drainages cross the county, and Lake Chulahoma and Lake Cormorant-area waters sit within its 3.6 square miles of surface water. Interstate 22\/U.S. Highway 78 runs east-west through the county between Holly Springs and Byhalia.<\/p>\n Marshall County borders Shelby County, Tennessee<\/a> and Fayette County, Tennessee<\/a> to the north; Benton County<\/a> and Union County<\/a> to the east; Lafayette County<\/a> to the south; and Tate County<\/a> and DeSoto County<\/a> to the west.<\/p>\n Marshall County had 33,752 residents at the 2020 census, spread over 706 square miles of land for a density of about 48 people per square mile. Holly Springs, the county seat, and Byhalia, its closest suburb to the Memphis metro, are the two largest communities. Median household income in Marshall County runs below the Mississippi median of $54,203, reflecting the county’s rural, agricultural economy outside the Memphis commuter belt around Byhalia.<\/p>\n Agriculture, timber and light manufacturing anchor the county’s economy outside the Byhalia area, which has drawn logistics and distribution investment tied to its position on the Memphis metro fringe along U.S. 78. Rust College and Mississippi’s Kate Freeman Clark Art Gallery are both based in Holly Springs, and the town’s well-preserved antebellum district draws an annual spring pilgrimage tour of historic homes.<\/p>\n Marshall County was organized in 1836 and named for John Marshall, Chief Justice of the United States in the early nineteenth century. Holly Springs, its seat, grew quickly as a cotton-trade and rail town before the Civil War and changed hands several times during Union raids in 1862\u201364, including Confederate cavalry commander Earl Van Dorn’s December 1862 raid that destroyed Union supplies stockpiled there.<\/p>\n U.S. Highway 78\/Interstate 22 crosses the county east-west, linking Holly Springs and Byhalia directly to Memphis.<\/p>\n Memphis International Airport, about 30 miles from Byhalia, is the nearest commercial airport.<\/p>\n Where is Marshall County, Mississippi?<\/strong> What is the population of Marshall County?<\/strong> How big is Marshall County?<\/strong> What is the county seat of Marshall County?<\/strong> How many towns are in Marshall County?<\/strong> |
