Marshville's story is one of King Cotton, colorful entrepreneurs, railroad men, saloons, churches, and devout civic leaders. All were determining factors in the town's inception and the direction of its commercial and social development.

By 1975, Marshville - as part of Union County - had become N.C.'s top producer of turkeys and eggs and now also provides soybeans, corn, milo, swine, broilers, and beef for the U.S. marketplace.

Marshville is the home of a large poultry processing plant and lumber/pallet plants such as Edwards Wood Products and Rebel Lumber Companies which rank importantly in the Southeast. But distribution, retail business, and banking also have a strong heritage in Marshville. Specialty stores and support services are traditionally prominent. Busy U.S. Highway 74 now intersects this "small city in the country" and the town is fast becoming known as the Garden Spot of Metrolina.

As ever, Marshville remains an ideal setting for the entrepreneur: offering open spaces where ideas and families can grow; where the free enterprise system is nurtured in a shade-tree, green-field community. It is a place of handshakes and growth, friendly smiles and optimism, enthusiasm and faith. A place to which many people from all over the U.S. gravitate, to realize their individual potential, to harvest their own unique dreams.
