Marmon начала свою деятельность в Richmond, Indiana, в 1851 году, как производитель мельничных жерновов.
Компания была основана Daniel Marmon и Addison H. Nordyke и была названа Nordyke and Marmon Company.
В 1870 фирма переехала в Индианаполис.
Сыновья (Walter Marmon - 1872-1940 and brother Howard Carpenter Marmon - 1876-1943) получили инженерное образование и вошли в бизнес, Walter стал менеджером. Компания занималась новаторской деятельность, что позволяло ей успешно развиваться.В 1926 году название компании было изменено на Marmon Мотор Car Company. Компания стала испытывать трудности во времена Великой депрессии 1930-х годов.Walter Marmon, когда его отец умер в 1909 г., стал секретарем компании, позже президентом, и был назначен председателем правления в 1924 году.
В 1931 году Marmon (сын) и Arthur Herrington организовали фирму по производству грузовых автомобилей под названием Marmon-Herrington Company.
Производство началось в марте 1931 года, когда компания получила заказ на изготовление 33Т-1 4х4 заправщиков и транспотра сопровождения для Персии (Ирана.)
(Arthur William Sidney Herrington работал в Отделе автомобильного транспорта квартирмейстерского корпуса - QMC) ) Эта организация плотно работала с американскими корпорациями на предмет создания широкого типажного ряда армейских грузовиков. По заказу армии американскими фирмами выпускались небольшие серии автомобилей, соответствующие требованиям военных.
Болшую роль в развитии фирмы сыграл Роберт Уоллес, определивший целесообразность преобразования полутонного пикапа Форд в плане оснащения его полным приводом.
В середине 30-х инженер M-H Robert “Bob” Wallace нанес визит Henry и Edsel Ford с идеей оснастить стандартный Пикап полным приводом.
К 1936 г был построен и испытан грузовик Ford C5A, спобобный конкурировать Dodge и Intrnational.
Компании удалось получить заказы на постройку пикапов в Бельгии и Нидерландах.
Ключ ко всем преобразования полноприводных Мармон-Херрингтон шасси - раздаточная коробка, работавшая в комплексе с Warner T9 и модифицироанными мостами и узлами Rzeppa.
MH Trasfer Case
Meanwhile, ex- Stutz engineer and Marmon-Vice President Robert C. Wallace was instructed to go down to a local Ford dealership in Indianapolis and see if a half-ton Ford Truck could be converted to a 4WD arrangement. When he reported back favorably, the engineers went to work on a prototype 1936 Ford V-8 half-ton open cab pickup by adapting a number of components including Wisconsin-Herrington hubs.

С этого момента и вплоть до 1963 г компания оснащяла полным приводом как военные так и гражданские автомобили и выполняла другие заказы.
Летом 1963 г. компанию "Мармон-Херрингтон" выкупил один из ее дилеров, перевел в город Дентон и переименовал в "Мармон".
