Scant City, also known as Marghton, is an unincorporated community in Marshall County, Alabama, United States. It is between Arab and Guntersville.
Local legend is that the origin of the name is from the dairy days, when a local man was infamous for selling “scant pints” of slightly less cow milk to unsuspecting customers.
