Marble Township, in brief

Wikipedia doesn’t have a history of Marble Township yet. The photos, dates and memories neighbors add here are how it gets written.

Marble Township is a township in Lincoln County, Minnesota, United States. The population was 195 at the 2000 census. Marble Township was named for the boulders dotting its landscape, which despite the name, are composed of limestone, not marble.

Between the 2010 and 2020 censuses its population grew from 161 to 170 (+6%).
