Extending four miles along the beautiful
St. Clair River south of Port huron, the
once small sawmill town of Marysville
has grown into a thriving community with
a projected 1995 population of over
10,000. Readily accessible to
Interstates 94 and 69, rapidly expanding
Port Huron and surrounding townships,
the town nevertheless retains a
close-knit, one high school feeling. A
major Gratiot Road reconstruction will
lead to a new four-lane highway through
town.
