La Marque (/lə ˈmɑːrk/ lə MARK) is a city in Galveston County, Texas, United States, south of Houston.

By 1914, the community had been reached by four railroads: the International and Great Northern; the Galveston, Houston and Henderson; the Missouri, Kansas and Texas; and the Interurban.

At that time, La Marque had both a railroad station and general store located in a private home.

As it grew together with nearby Texas City, La Marque served as a residential community for employees at nearby industrial facilities (e.g., chemical plants and refineries) in the La Marque-Texas City area, as well as the Galveston Island Medical Center.

In the 2000s, rising real estate costs in Galveston forced many families to move to other areas, including La Marque.

The United States Postal Service La Marque Post Office is located at 509 Laurel Street.

[10] Previously La Marque Independent School District (LMISD) served what became the TCISD area.

[11] On December 2, 2015, Texas Education Agency Commissioner Michael Williams announced that TCISD would absorb the former LMISD effective July 1, 2016.

La Marque Independent School District was mismanaged for so long that it was finally dissolved, when it was assigned by the commissioner of education an accreditation status of "Not Accredited-Revoked".

Accordingly, Texas City, Hitchcock, Dickinson, and Santa Fe school districts jointly absorbed the responsibility of educating La Marque students.

Finally, an October 2015 review by the TEA found La Marque ISD's rating at "substandard achievement".
