Marsh Station has had several names in the past, originally called Cienega Station and later also Pantano. The area goes back to 1858 when the Butterfield Overland mail built a station along its route here. In 1880 the railroad came through also and in 1912 the railroad bridge was built over Cienega Creek. The old East Marsh Station road was the original highway until the freeway was built. Now the road is mostly used by local residents. Along the road is the Remco Materials Gypsum Mine, at the east end of the road and on the north side. Farther west was a small copper mine which is visible from the road on the south side, now on protected land and a bit farther west, just past the small mine, a hill containing jasper which was used by the Native Americans for making tools. The area is now in the Cienega Creek Riparian Preserve and collecting and access are restricted. Hiking is permitted and parking is provided at the western end of the old road.
