History of Marion Mills
Long ago, Marion Mills had a different name. It was called Hausertown. There was even a post office there that opened in 1838. A post office is where people send and receive mail. The Hausertown post office stayed open for many years, but it closed down in 1907. Later, the community got its current name, Marion Mills, which comes from the name of the township it's in, Marion Township.
