The post office at this location was established in 1876 and originally called "Isabel" for early settler Isabel Applegate.[3] In 1899-1900, a railroad was built through the Mohawk Valley and a station named Marcola was established near the post office.[3] Marcola was a name made up to honor Mary Cole, the wife of the town's founder, Columbus Cole.[3][4] In 1901, the post office name was changed to agree with the name of the station.[3]
The 1938 National Register of Historic Places-listed Earnest Bridge, a covered bridge in the Marcola area, was featured in the 1965 James Stewart film Shenandoah.[5]
