Marsala was a small community that once existed in Kings County, California. It is no longer a populated place today. Marsala was located near the tracks of the Southern Pacific Railroad.

What Was Marsala?

Marsala was known as a "former settlement." This means it was once a place where people lived and worked. Over time, the community stopped growing, and people moved away. Today, it is not an active town or city.

Where Was Marsala Located?

Marsala was situated about 2.25 miles (3.6 kilometers) north-northwest of a town called Stratford. Its elevation was 207 feet (63 meters) above sea level. Elevation tells us how high a place is compared to the ocean.

When Did Marsala Exist?

Marsala appeared on maps as a recognized place until at least 1929. After that, it likely faded away as a distinct community. Many small settlements like Marsala were created along railroad lines. They often served as stops for trains or places for local farmers to ship their goods. When transportation changed, or industries moved, these small places sometimes disappeared.
