I have removed the section pertaining to the history of the name of the town, due to the complete inaccuracy of the statement. The village of Marissa was only known as Athens Precinct until the mid 1800s. Marissa was actually named after the Biblical town of Mareshah, Israel. I will make the appropriate edit to the page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.195.170.123 (talk) 17:05, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
