History

The community was established by Col. Walter H. Otey in 1848, and was known as Walnut Ridge until 1852.

Marianna hosted minor league baseball. In 1909, the Marianna Brickeys team played as members of the Class D level Northeast Arkansas League, finishing in third place in their only season of minor league play. The Marianna use of the "Brickeys" nickname corresponded to the city bricking the city streets in 1908.
