City Of Marianna

45 West Mississippi
870-295-6089

Marianna was founded in 1870 by pioneers who came up the St. Francis River from the mighty Mississippi and settled here because of its strategic location and natural resources. Standing on the threshold of the 21st century, Marianna continues to attract people because of its strategic location and quality of life. Cradled in Crowley's Ridge, Marianna is bordered by rich farmland and the St. Francis National Forest, with easy access to Bear Creek Lake. These rich natural resources support our diversified economic base and offer plentiful hunting, fishing and other recreational opportunities. Marianna is a beautiful city with a rich history, a great deal of civic pride and a strong volunteer spirit. We invite you to raise your family here and join us as we build our future together.
