Marshall

The gently rolling prairie around Marshall is a broad agricultural plain crossed by the Redwood River, which has shaped both the city’s low-rise form and local economy. Set in Lyon County in southwestern Minnesota, Marshall developed after the railroad reached the area in the 1870s and today serves as the county seat and a regional centre for services and education. Southwest Minnesota State University, established in 1964, gives the city a distinctly collegiate presence alongside its farm-country roots. Downtown businesses and community events keep the centre active through the year, while the surrounding fields underline the scale of the Upper Midwest.
