ABOUT THE AREA
Cotton, lumber and the railroad were significant factors in the establishment of this town. Around 1863, Confederate general Marmaduke and his troops established a camp near where the town is now located. The Cotton Belt railroad, established after the Civil War placed depots at Marmaduke and Paragould to handle the large quantities handled by the railroad. As a result three cotton gins were built in Marmaduke, providing work and trade to the people in town.
