== Fun facts ==
* Marietta had 1,391 settlers at the time of Oklahoma Statehood in 1907. The Love County courthouse, the first built after statehood in Oklahoma, was completed in 1910. There were 1,546 residents in the 1910 census, and the town was served by at least three banks, three churches and 24 retail establishments
* Downtown Marietta suffered when Interstate 35 was built on the edge of town. By the turn of the 21st Century, the main employers were the Marietta Bakery (400 workers) and Siemens Dematic (65 workers). In January 2004, the bakery declared bankruptcy and closed. Soon after, the Siemens plant closed. Months later the Chickasaw Nation bought the Siemens plant and rehired many of the former employees. Still later, it bought the bakery and reopened it, though with a much smaller work force.
* Marietta has a little to offer, but not much. It has dollar stores, Carl's Jr., Subway, Sonic Drive-In, McDonald's, Homeland, a motel, a few local restaurants and businesses, McGehee Catfish Restaurant Airport, Robertson's Hams, Love County Historical Society, an RV park, and not much else.
