History & geography

History

Marksboro is named for Colonel Mark Thompson, who built and owned a grist mill on the Paulins Kill here before 1760. The first store was owned by William Shafer. An academy (school) was built here but was not successful, and was then used as a hotel as early as 1810. In 1814, the Marksboro Presbyterian Church was organized. By 1882, the population had grown to 175. Marksboro had a post office, grist and lumber mill, and a "good local trade".

According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP had a total area of 0.324 square miles (0.837 km2), including 0.320 square miles (0.828 km2) of land and 0.004 square miles (0.009 km2) of water (1.08%).
