The Finnish Heritage Agency's description

Marrasjärvi on esimerkki varhaisista, pääjokivarsien ja -teiden ulkopuolelle asutettuista kylistä, joiden rakennuskanta on peräisin Lapin sotaa edeltävältä ajalta.

Marrasjärven pienen kylän rakennuskanta periytyy 1770-luvulta. Kylässä on tosin tätäkin ajankohtaa vanhempi, 1735 rakennettu, muualta siirretty Nätyngin aitta. Yhtenäisimpiä rakennusryhmiä ovat Kenttälä, Kallio, Kaishannu, Rauhala ja Niemelä sekä erillään sijaitseva Ylitalo. Monet niistä muodostavat ehjiä pihapiirejä.

Rovaniemen laajassa erämaapitäjässä tilojen lukumäärä alkoi kasvaa 1700-luvun jälkipuoliskolla uudisraivauksen ja talojen lohkomisen seurauksena. Asutusta alkoi syntyä Kemi- ja Ounasjokien sivuvesistöjen varrelle.

Marrasjärven kylän asutus sai alkunsa 1770-luvulla, kun Ounasjokeen laskevan Marrasjoen vesistön varteen, Marrasjärven rannalle perustettiin Rauhalan ja Kallon tilat. Ollila perustettiin 1790-luvulla. Neljäs talo kylään muodostui 1900-luvun alkuvuosina.

Marrasjärven kylä säästyi Lapin sodan tuhoilta 1944 syrjäisen sijaintinsa ansiosta.

Marrasjärvi is an example of early villages settled outside the main river valleys and roads, whose building stock dates from the period before the Lapland War.

The building stock of the small village of Marrasjärvi dates from the 1770s. Admittedly, the village contains an older building than this period: the Nätyngin aitta, a granary storehouse built in 1735 and moved from elsewhere. The most cohesive building groups are Kenttälä, Kallio, Kaishannu, Rauhala and Niemelä, as well as Ylitalo, which is situated apart. Many of them form intact farmyards.

In the vast wilderness parish of Rovaniemi, the number of holdings began to grow in the second half of the 18th century as a result of land clearance and the division of farms. Settlement began to emerge along the tributary waterways of the Kemijoki and Ounasjoki rivers.

Settlement in the village of Marrasjärvi began in the 1770s, when the Rauhala and Kallo holdings were established on the shore of Marrasjärvi lake, along the waterway of the Marrasjoki, which flows into the Ounasjoki. Ollila was established in the 1790s. A fourth house was formed in the village in the early years of the 20th century.

Thanks to its remote location, the village of Marrasjärvi survived the devastation of the Lapland War in 1944.
