America 250

MARSHALL, Texas - As we approach the 250th anniversary of America, KTBS 3/KPXJ CW 21 continues to celebrate this history of our nation.

Marshall was founded in 1841. One year later, Marshall became the county seat of Harrison County. The city grew quickly, and by the 1850s, Marshall was the fourth largest city in all of Texas.
