The most frequent piece is a Marietta Foundries glue pot, a small double kettle which acts as sort of a double boiler. Glue is placed in the inside pot which is then set into water contained in the outside kettle. The glue is heated for use. Marietta Foundries Glue pots came in many sizes, from about l/2 pint to a quart or moreProbably the next most common Marietta cast iron cookware piece is the Sauce Pan. The most ‘ common size is two or three quart. They also came in smaller and larger sizes. Griswold also made this style, and were marked Erie. They are a great ﬁnd! Skillets marked “Marietta” are scarce, particularly the larger sizes. In fact, larger sizes, such as No.s 9 & 10 seem to be much much more difﬁcult to ﬁnd than the smaller sizes of any skillets manufactured in the early to mid-1800s. So what or who was Marietta? According to historians, in 1803 and 1804, David Cook and James Anderson began developing two towns side by side along the Susquehana River in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Eight years later, they agreed to join the two communities, and by combining the names of their wives, Mary and Henrietta, called the new town, Marietta. Marietta soon became a vital river town for lumbering, transportation and industry.From 1840 through 1900 there were six foundries, or more correctly “furnaces” operating in Marietta. According to Lancaster County Historian, John Loose, “…people persist in calling blast furnaces ‘foundries’ because they are capable of pouring cast iron items although they were used principally to make pig iron—for the actual foundries. Moreover, the general foreman usually was called the ‘founder’. The plant that made [most of] the cookware and hollowware was the Marietta Hollowware and Enameling Company,” he continued. The Marietta Holloware and Enameling Co. was organized in 1876. They produced all kinds of hollow castings such as toilet bowls, lavatory basins, cast iron cookware, ink pots for stencils, glue pots. teakettles, and cookware including sauce pans, skillets, and kettles up to 32 quarts. During the 1920s the demand for enameled hollowware decreased, and the depression put an end to the company.I have seen the following markings on Marietta Pieces: MH&E CO, R & Co., MARIETTA C Co., SM Co., and MARIETTA MFG Co. The MH&E Co. is the Marietta Hollowware & Enameling Co.; the R & C0 may be a product of the Reinhold & Company that worked during the 187Os- 1880s, according to historian John Loose. Marietta C CO was the Marietta Casting Company, a small foundry adjacent to the Marietta Hollowware & Marietta Foundries Enameling Co., operating in the 1890s- 1900s. The Marietta Manufacturing Company (Marietta MFG CO) also was a foundry and machine works operating in the 1890s and early 1900s. It was the successor to the E.L.

The population was 2,633 at the 2020 census.[3] It is located on the east bank of the Susquehanna River, northwest of Columbia.Geography[edit]Marietta is located in western Lancaster County at 40°3′26″N 76°33′21″W (40.057169, -76.555955).[4] It is bordered to the north, east, and west by East Donegal Township, and to the south, across the Susquehanna River, by Hellam Township in York County.According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the borough has a total area of 0.75 square miles (1.9 km2), of which 0.007 square miles (0.018 km2), or 0.93%, are water.[5]Market Street runs the whole length of the town. The east/west divider is Waterford Avenue.

Later David Cook laid another portion of present-day Marietta. Further development by Jacob Grosh, John Myers, John Peadan, James Mehaffey, Benjamin Long, and James Huffy laid out the rest of present-day Marietta. In 1812, the borough was incorporated, merging all the areas of town except for the western portion of the borough which was extended into Marietta at a later date.For the first few years of existence, the growth of the borough was meager. Then an economic crisis struck the town, not relenting until around 1830. Thereafter, industries such as timber and iron smelting provided many economic opportunities in the borough.[6]The borough's name is an amalgamation of the first names of Mary Cook and Etta Anderson, the wives of two first settlers.[7]The Ashley and Bailey Silk Mill, Joseph Bucher House, Chickies Historic District, Linden House, and Marietta Historic District are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[8]Demographics[edit]Historical populationCensusPop.Note%±18401,428—18502,09947.0%18602,1864.1%18702,3979.7%18802,5034.4%18902,402−4.0%19002,4692.8%19102,079−15.8%19201,735−16.5%19301,96913.5%19402,1288.1%19502,44214.8%19602,385−2.3%19702,83819.0%19802,740−3.5%19902,7781.4%20002,689−3.2%20102,588−3.8%20202,6331.7%2021 (est.)2,978[3]13.1%Sources:[9][10][11][2]As of the census[10] of 2000, there were 2,689 people, 1,092 households, and 723 families residing in the borough.
