The borough of Mars, Pennsylvania is situated about halfway between the cities of Pittsburgh and Butler. The small community is nestled in a small valley along Breakneck Creek with PA 228 located about a mile south of the borough. It is home to the popular roadside attraction, the Mars "Spaceship" or "Flying Saucer". It is also home to the Mars Train Station which is one of the last remaining railroad depots still standing from the now defunct Pittsburgh and Western Railroad.

In 1873, Samuel Parks constructed a home and a water-powered grist mill along Breakneck Creek. Parks then decided to have a post office placed in his home, so he received help from his friend, Samuel Marshall to help establish it. The name became Mars. No one is sure how the name "Mars" came into being. Some say it was Park's wife who enjoyed astronomy, or it was shortened after Samuel Marshall's name. In 1877, the Pittsburgh, New Castle and Lake Erie Railroad created a stop in the area, and named it Overbrook. Since the railroad name conflicted with the borough's name, the railroad had it changed so it would match the borough's. Plus, there was already a community in Pennsylvania with the name, "Overbrook". On March 6, 1895, Mars was incorporated as a borough.

In 1904, the Pittsburgh and Butler Railway gained permission from Mars to construct it's right-of-way through the borough. The line would eventually become part of the Pittsburgh, Harmony, Butler and New Castle Railway. The line closed in 1931. The USS Mars (AFS-1) was named after the borough. The ship became part of the United States Pacific Fleet in 1963, and was decommissioned in 1998. It was then sunk in 2006 as a target vessel. The bell of the Mars was donated to the borough, and has become a permanent memorial in the downtown park.

There's an oval in Australia called the Mars city oval on account of the fact that mars the chocolate bar  brand sponsors the oval. The Redan Football Netball Club in conjunction with MARS have announced a partnership whereby the Ballarat City Oval will now be known as The MARS City Oval as part of a sponsorship deal aimed at the continued development of the historic ground's infrastructure.
