History
The locality presumably takes its name from the mountain Mount Marshall (28°05′44″S 152°04′17″E / 28.0955°S 152.0715°E / -28.0955; 152.0715 (Mount Marshall (mountain))) rising to 601 metres (1,972 ft), which is to the south-east of the locality in neighbouring Glengallan.

On 1 January 1909 it became Glengallon State School. It closed in 1921. In late 1922 or early 1923 it was amalgamated with Wilsonville State School to become Mount Marshall State School. It closed in 1965. It was on the south-western corner of Hendon Mount Marshall Road and the New England Highway (28°04′53″S 152°02′22″E / 28.0815°S 152.0394°E / -28.0815; 152.0394 (Mount Marshall State School (former))).
