Marion County was organized in 1860. It was named for Marion County, Ohio, which in turn had been named for Francis Marion, the "Swamp Fox" of Revolutionary War fame. The city of Marion is the county seat. Marion County has a large Mennonite population. There is a wonderful Mennonite museum in the town of Goessel - plan on visiting it when in Marion County.
