Situated in Slope County, North Dakota, Marmarth was established in 1907 along the Milwaukee Road transcontinental rail line, known as the Pacific Extension, and named from a combination of letters in the first and middle names of Margaret Martha Finch, the granddaughter of Albert J. Earling, who was president of the railroad at the time. Originally, the town was laid out on the east side of the Little Missouri River, but it was moved to the west side of the river in 1908.
