About Us
THE COMMUNITY
A hot artesian spring was struck by accident in 1893, and the town of Marlin became known for its curative waters. This was the era of an emerging health awareness and what better excuse was there for making a trip, than "taking the cure" in Marlin. Even today you can drink from a fountain or bathe your feet in hot mineral water, right next to the Chamber of Commerce Office.
In Marlin, our desire is to enjoy the simplest pleasures, country living, quality schools, low crime, quality services, and community spirit.
Only 60 minutes from Texas A&M University and 30 minutes from Baylor University, Marlin is a progressive city with old-fashioned hospitality. You can enjoy the towering oaks, stately historic homes, ranches, creeks, and the Brazos River. A visionary business community, low taxes, and ample labor force provide the opportu-nity for growth.
The Marlin community is the perfect place for residents who take relaxing as seriously as they take their work.
THE DISTRICT
Marlin ISD was founded in 1882. The district serves as the fiscal agent for Falls Education Coop, Falls County Permanent School Fund Lands, and is the career and technology center for area schools.
Marlin ISD students are highly competitive in all aspects of UIL competition.
