History
Marland began as a community named "Bliss," a shipping point on the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway (often called simply the Santa Fe). The surrounding countryside, formerly part of the Ponca reservation, had been leased for cattle grazing and was part of the Miller Brothers 101 Ranch. The brothers built stockyards adjacent to the railroad on the south side of their ranch for shipping cattle. A community began forming nearby, with grain elevator, a lumber yard and a general store. The Millers platted a town on the east side of the tracks in 1906 and began selling lots. In 1917, the Millers decided to move the town to the other side of the tracks, about north. The population continued to grow, reaching 250 residents. In the 1920s, oil discovered by Ernest W. Marland in the nearby Three Sands Field helped the town, leading to the April 1922 election and town name change to Marland. But the Great Depression of the 1930s bankrupted the Miller Brothers ranch, and the Three Sands Field went dry, stunting further town growth.
