Emergency Biohazard Cleanup Services in Marshall, VA

Marshall is an unincorporated community and census-designated place in northwestern Fauquier County, Virginia — it is the Virginia Marshall in the Piedmont hunt country, not the Texas city of the same name.

Marshall was laid out in 1796 as the town of Salem, with 52 lots on about 30 acres along its Main Street, and it was later renamed for Chief Justice John Marshall, who grew up at Oak Hill in nearby Delaplane.

The Marshall CDP grew from 1,480 people in the 2010 census to 1,854 people in the 2020 census, a rise of about 25 percent, spread over roughly 2.9 square miles.

The Marshall Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007, preserves 314 contributing buildings dating from the late 18th century to the mid-20th century, including Trinity Episcopal Church (1849) and the Marshall Ford Company building (1916).

Marshall is home to what is reputed to be the oldest continually operating Ford automobile dealership in the United States, selling cars from the same building since 1915.

The Number 18 School in Marshall, built in 1887, was Fauquier County's last one-room schoolhouse; it taught white students until 1910 and then African American students until it closed in the 1960s during desegregation, and it is now a National Register-listed historic site next to Northern Fauquier Community Park.

Marshall's oldest building, erected in 1771 as Upper Carter's Run Baptist Church and later used for a century as the Salem Academy school, now houses the Fauquier Heritage and Preservation Foundation and the John K. Gott Library.

Although historically an agricultural community, Marshall is designated one of nine service districts in Fauquier County — the only one in the county's northern half — serving the surrounding equestrian and farming region.
