The lake dominates the county&rsquo;s southern and eastern edges, drawing boaters and anglers and shaping the local economy as much as farmland does. It is the smallest Oklahoma county by land area and the third-smallest by total area.<\/p>\n<p>Marshall County borders <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/johnston-county-oklahoma\/\">Johnston County<\/a> to the north, <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/carter-county-oklahoma\/\">Carter County<\/a> to the northwest, <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/love-county\/\">Love County<\/a> to the west, Bryan County to the east, and <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/grayson-county-texas\/\">Grayson County, Texas<\/a>, across Lake Texoma to the south.<\/p>\n<h2>Demographics<\/h2>\n<p>The 2020 census counted 15,312 residents, giving the county a density of roughly 41 people per square mile of land. Madill is the largest community by far, with Kingston the county&rsquo;s second-largest incorporated place. Marshall County&rsquo;s median household income runs below the Oklahoma median of $62,138, reflecting its rural, retirement- and tourism-oriented economy.<\/p>\n<h2>Economy &amp; Local Life<\/h2>\n<p>Lake Texoma recreation &mdash; fishing, boating, and lakeside retirement and vacation housing &mdash; is the backbone of the county&rsquo;s modern economy, alongside cattle ranching, pecan orchards, and small-scale farming on the higher ground away from the lake. Madill serves as the county&rsquo;s retail and medical hub. Tishomingo National Wildlife Refuge, on the county&rsquo;s eastern edge along the lake, draws hunters and birdwatchers.<\/p>\n<h2>History<\/h2>\n<p>Marshall County was created at Oklahoma statehood in 1907 out of the former Pickens County of the Chickasaw Nation. It was named for the maiden name of the mother of George Henshaw, a delegate to the 1906 Oklahoma Constitutional Convention. The completion of Denison Dam on the Red River in the 1940s created Lake Texoma, flooding low-lying farmland along the county&rsquo;s southern border and permanently reshaping its geography and economy toward lake-based recreation.<\/p>\n<h2>Getting There<\/h2>\n<p>U.S. Highways 70 and 377 and State Highways 32 and 99 cross the county, with U.S. 177 running north out of Madill.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Durant &mdash; about 25 miles east<\/li>\n<li>Ardmore &mdash; about 30 miles west<\/li>\n<li>Denison, Texas &mdash; about 20 miles south, across Lake Texoma<\/li>\n<li>Oklahoma City &mdash; about 120 miles north<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The nearest commercial airport is North Texas Regional Airport in Grayson County, Texas, a short drive south across the lake.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Where is Marshall County, Oklahoma?<\/strong><br \/>\nIt is in south-central Oklahoma on the Texas border, wrapped around the northern shore of Lake Texoma.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the population of Marshall County?<\/strong><br \/>\n15,312 people at the 2020 census.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How big is Marshall County?<\/strong><br \/>\n427 square miles (1,110 km2) total &mdash; 371 square miles of land and 56 square miles of water, making it Oklahoma&rsquo;s smallest county by land area.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the county seat of Marshall County?<\/strong><br \/>\nMadill is the county seat.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How many towns are in Marshall County?<\/strong><br \/>\nOne city (Madill), three towns (Kingston, New Woodville, Oakland), four census-designated places, and several unincorporated communities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What ZIP codes are in Marshall County?<\/strong><br \/>\n73446 (Madill), 73439 (Kingston), and 73440 (Lebanon).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why is Marshall County built around a lake?<\/strong><br \/>\nLake Texoma was formed after Denison Dam was completed on the Red River in the 1940s, flooding the county&rsquo;s southern lowlands and making the lake the center of local life.<\/p>\n<p>More counties in this state: <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/category\/oklahoma\/\">Towns and villages in Oklahoma<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marshall County is a county in Oklahoma, United States, on the state&rsquo;s south-central border with Texas, wrapped around the northern shore of Lake Texoma.
