Marshall Ford began as a simple river crossing where the western part of the county with its farming and ranching communities could cross the Colorado River for easy access to Austin. The bend in the river became a trading center and a supply point for cedar timber and posts. In 1934 the area was taken over by the Lower Colorado River Authority and Mansfield Dam was built as a flood control structure in a series along the Colorado Basin. In 1934 a post office was erected with Jack S. Beauchamp as postmaster. The community was small with few houses and in 1942 the post office was discontinued and mail was sent to Austin. Today Marshall Ford is an unincorporated community along the shores of Lake Travis.
