A village located in southern Dawes County, which is in the Nebraska Panhandle. The tiny community is on the border with Box Butte County. An historic place, once dependent on shipments of beef by rail for its survival and prosperity, the town has over the years declined. The post office, 100 years old in 1986, is the only business in town. The 1980 census registered 27, but only nine people live in Marsland today. However, it is the focal point for the region and remains an important gathering place for those living around it. The small grade school furnishes entertainment for the entire area with numerous parties and dinners. Every two years, a big reunion is held. Several hundred people come as anyone who ever lived in Marsland, or is interested, is invited. There is a large card club which involves the whole area, two extension clubs, a large 4-H Club, and Bible study is held at the schoolhouse each Tuesday morning.
