Long Marsh Run was first settled by the LaRue family in the 1740s. Today, four historic homes associated with the LaRue family are located along the banks of the creek. In 1996, the Long Marsh Run Rural Historic District was established to help preserve the historic buildings and the rural character of the land for future generations.[2]
