MARION, the county seat of PERRY COUNTY is located in the west central part of Alabama.  Marion is home to both Judson College (1838) and Marion Military Institute (1842) and was the site of the Lincoln School (1867). It has become known through the years as the "College City."

Since Marion is a college city, you'll find it has many advantages over most other small towns. The people are well-informed, eager to share new ideas, and ready for quality growth and development.

The city is rich in recreation and cultural heritage. Many artists live and work in the area, several libraries are available, and the people have an enthusiasm for learning seldom found in other small cities.
