History

Marmaduke was incorporated on August 2, 1909, and had expanded to a fair-sized town by 1914 with two drugstores, three banks, three restaurants, a Methodist and Baptist church, two barber shops, a hotel, a boarding house, and two "dime stores". No one was killed in Marmaduke, but at least 50 people were injured - some seriously. At least half of the town was reported to have been destroyed or even flattened, and nearly every structure received some degree of damage. The primary employers at the time were a sawmill, a lumber mill, a stave mill, and large and cut timber distributors. Current industry included the Anchor plastics company and the American Railcar Company.
