County History

Marion County was established in 1811 and named for General Francis Marion of South Carolina, the "Swamp Fox" of the American Revolution. The county was created from the old counties of Amite, Wayne and Franklin. In 1890, Marion gave a portion of its territory to Pearl River County, another part to Lamar in 1904, and still another slice to the newly organized county of Walthall in 1914. As of 2000, Marion County's population was 25,595. Columbia, the county seat and largest city, is on the east bank of the Pearl River near the center of the county. Marion County is bordered by Jefferson Davis County (north), Lamar County (east), Pearl River County (southeast), Washington Parish, Louisiana (south), Walthall County (west) and Lawrence County (northwest).
