History
The post office at this location was established in 1876 and originally called "Isabel" for early settler Isabel Applegate.[1] In 1899-1900, a railroad was built through the Mohawk Valley and a station named Marcola was established near the post office.[1] Marcola was a name made up to honor Mary Cole, the wife of the town's founder, Columbus Cole.[1][2] In 1901, the post office name was changed to agree with the name of the station.[1]
The 1938 National Register of Historic Places-listed Earnest Bridge, a covered bridge in the Marcola area, was featured in the 1965 James Stewart film Shenandoah.[3]
