Marshall Creek was a town in Denton County, Texas, United States, with a population of 431 at the 2000 census.

[3] Original residents began moving into the small area in the late 1960s, attracted to inexpensive country living.

The town had no formal government until it was incorporated in 1983 to prevent possible annexation by neighboring cities which would bring higher tax rates and stricter regulations.

Incorporated as a general law municipality in 1983, Marshall Creek remained, by virtue of its small borders, relatively out of the public spotlight.

According to published reports, bookkeeping by the government was spotty, resulting in losses from unpaid property taxes the town failed to assess.

Instead, the Army Corps of Engineers awarded that contract to nearby Trophy Club, which had a larger and more experienced force.

As part of the May 12, 2007, general election, Marshall Creek voters were asked if they wished to consolidate with the nearby town of Roanoke.
