About Marion
Marion is a quiet, historic community in northern Union Parish with roots dating back to the 1830s. Home to roughly 600 residents, the town offers a peaceful rural atmosphere where neighbors know each other and life moves at an easy pace. Whether named after an early Alabama settler or the Revolutionary War hero Francis Marion, it remains one of the parish's oldest and most close-knit small towns.

Students make the quick drive down to Union Parish High School in Farmerville, and regional hubs are close enough for weekend errands and work commutes. For anyone considering a move to north Louisiana, Marion delivers a calm, down-to-earth lifestyle surrounded by pine country and open space.
