The town of Marbleton, incorporated in 1914, was the dream of Charles P. Budd, the eldest son of Dan Budd who founded Big Piney. Located only a mile from Big Piney, Marbleton started out as its rival, each vying to be the major town site in this area. Amazingly through the years both towns have grown and prospered. Marbleton has thrived in the last several decades because of the oil and gas industry. In the 1980's Marbleton recieved its own post office, because of the number of people moving to the area. Marbleton maintains its own Town Hall and Town Government.
