The county covers 375 square miles (970 km2) of land and 0.7 square miles (1.8 km2) of water.<\/p>\n<p>Marshall County borders <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/rutherford-county-tennessee\/\">Rutherford County<\/a> to the northeast, <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/bedford-county-tennessee\/\">Bedford County<\/a> to the east, <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/lincoln-county-tennessee\/\">Lincoln County<\/a> to the southeast, <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/giles-county\/\">Giles County<\/a> to the southwest, <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/maury-county\/\">Maury County<\/a> to the west, and <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/williamson-county-tennessee\/\">Williamson County<\/a> to the northwest.<\/p>\n<h2>Demographics<\/h2>\n<p>Marshall County had 34,318 residents at the 2020 census, spread across a mostly rural landscape at a density of about 92 people per square mile. Lewisburg and Chapel Hill are the county&#8217;s two largest communities. County-level median household income was not independently verified for this profile; the statewide figure for comparison is the Tennessee median of $67,631.<\/p>\n<h2>Economy &amp; Local Life<\/h2>\n<p>Agriculture and small manufacturing anchor the local economy, and Marshall County has a national niche in horses and livestock: the Tennessee Walking Horse Breeders&#8217; and Exhibitors&#8217; Association is headquartered in Lewisburg, and the Tennessee fainting goat breed was developed in the county. The county hosts &#8220;Goats, Music and More,&#8221; an annual festival built around that history.<\/p>\n<h2>History<\/h2>\n<p>Marshall County was organized on February 20, 1836, from parts of Bedford, Giles, Maury, and Williamson counties. It was named for John Marshall, the fourth Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, who had died the previous year.<\/p>\n<h2>Getting There<\/h2>\n<p>US Route 431 and Tennessee State Route 50 cross the county through Lewisburg, and Interstate 65 clips the county&#8217;s western edge near Cornersville.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Shelbyville &mdash; about 15 miles east<\/li>\n<li>Columbia &mdash; about 25 miles west<\/li>\n<li>Murfreesboro &mdash; about 35 miles northeast<\/li>\n<li>Nashville &mdash; about 60 miles north<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The nearest commercial airport is Nashville International Airport (BNA).<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Where is Marshall County, Tennessee?<\/strong><br \/>\nIt is in south-central Middle Tennessee, along the Duck River south of Nashville.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the population of Marshall County?<\/strong><br \/>\n34,318 people, according to the 2020 census.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How big is Marshall County?<\/strong><br \/>\n375 square miles (970 km2) of land plus 0.7 square miles (1.8 km2) of water.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the county seat of Marshall County?<\/strong><br \/>\nLewisburg is the county seat.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How many towns are in Marshall County?<\/strong><br \/>\nThree incorporated places &mdash; Lewisburg, Chapel Hill, and Cornersville &mdash; plus dozens of unincorporated communities and a small corner of Petersburg.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What ZIP codes are in Marshall County?<\/strong><br \/>\n37091 (Lewisburg), 37034 (Chapel Hill), 37047 (Cornersville), and 37019 (Belfast).<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is Marshall County known for?<\/strong><br \/>\nIt is the home of the Tennessee Walking Horse Breeders&#8217; and Exhibitors&#8217; Association and the birthplace of the Tennessee fainting goat.<\/p>\n<p>More counties in this state: <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/category\/tennessee\/\">Towns and villages in Tennessee<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marshall County is a county in Tennessee, United States, in the south-central part of the state along the Duck River, south of Nashville.
