==History==
[[File:Flour mill at Murray Bridge East, 1920.jpg|thumb|left|Flour mill at Murray Bridge East, 1920]]
Murray Bridge is in the traditional lands of the [[Ngarrindjeri]] people, who refer to Murray Bridge as ''Pomberuk''. The first European explorer was [[Charles Sturt]] who camped there on 8 February 1830.
The first [[road bridge]] across the lower Murray was known as The Murray Bridge and completed at Edwards's Crossing in 1879.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article160119146 |title=THE MURRAY BRIDGE. |newspaper=[[Adelaide Observer]] |volume=XXXVI |issue=1955 |location=South Australia |date=22 March 1879 |access-date=25 December 2016 |page=20 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref> To distinguish this bridge with the many other bridges that cross the Murray River, this bridge is known as the [[Murray River road bridge, Murray Bridge]].The bridge also became a shared road and rail bridge in 1886 until the separate rail bridge was completed in 1925.<ref>''The Road Bridge over the River Murray at Murray Bridge'' Thompson, M.H. [[Australian Railway History|Australian Railway Historical Society Bulletin]], September 1976 pp189-196</ref> The bridge was designed for {{RailGauge|1067mm}}<ref>[http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article5627866?searchTerm=narrow+gauge 05 Feb 1919 - RAILWAY AFFAIRS. MURRAY LANDS]. Trove.nla.gov.au (5 February 1919). Retrieved 12 April 2014.</ref> rail track gauge though in actuality, only {{RailGauge|1600mm}} gauge trains ever used it.
The [[District Council of Mobilong]] was established in 1884 bringing local government to the township, then known as Mobilong, and the surrounding land within the [[Hundred of Mobilong]]. By 1923, the council had absorbed the southern two-thirds of the neighbouring [[Hundred of Burdett]] across the river, the [[Hundred of Ettrick]] further east, and part of the [[Hundred of Brinkley]] to the south. The Mobilong township by then had its own ward. The township seceded from Mobilong council in 1924, calling itself the [[Corporate Town of Murray Bridge]], effectively renaming the township.<ref name="about"/> In 1977 the two local councils recombined as the [[District Council of Murray Bridge]].
In 1979 the [[Swanport Bridge]], carrying the [[South Eastern Freeway]] across the [[Murray River]] was completed {{convert|5|km|mi|0}} downstream, removing most through traffic from the historic ''Murray Bridge''.
In 1993 the local municipal council crossed a population threshold enabling it to be declared a city, the Rural City of Murray Bridge. The bounded locality of Murray Bridge remained the majority population centre and seat of the city council.
Murray Bridge contains a number of heritage-listed sites, including the Murray Bridge Transport Precinct, listed on the [[South Australian Heritage Register]].<ref name="heritage">{{cite web |title=Summary of State Heritage Place |work=South Australian Heritage Register |publisher=South Australian Heritage Council |url=http://www.environment.sa.gov.au/files/sharedassets/public/heritage/her-reg-murray-bridge-transport-precinct-provisional-entry.pdf |archive-url=https://www.webcitation.org/6gdNCDDpQ?url=http://www.environment.sa.gov.au/files/sharedassets/public/heritage/her-reg-murray-bridge-transport-precinct-provisional-entry.pdf |archive-date=9 April 2016 |url-status=dead|access-date=9 April 2016 }}</ref>

This was in part due to COVID-19, but also due to organisational changes and growing online activity. The printing press at the Murray Bridge site was closed and resulted in the loss of 26 jobs.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2020-07-31|title=Print centre to close; The Standard continues to publish|url=https://www.murrayvalleystandard.com.au/story/6858875/print-centre-to-close-the-standard-continues-to-publish/|access-date=2021-01-11|website=The Murray Valley Standard|language=en-AU}}</ref>

==Infrastructure==
[[File:Sun setting on the Rail Bridge at Murray Bridge.jpg|thumb|The Rail Bridge over the [[Murray River]] at sunset, 1975.]]
=== Transport ===
==== Rail ====
[[Murray Bridge railway station]] is on the [[Adelaide-Wolseley railway line|Adelaide to Wolseley railway line]], the South Australian part of the [[Melbourne–Adelaide rail corridor]]. It is served by [[Journey Beyond]]'s twice weekly passenger service ''[[The Overland]]'' operating between [[Adelaide Parklands Terminal|Adelaide]] and [[Southern Cross railway station|Melbourne]].<ref>[http://www.greatsouthernrail.com.au/fares_and_timetables/timetables/the_overland_timetables/ The Overland Timetables] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150122090836/http://www.greatsouthernrail.com.au/fares_and_timetables/timetables/the_overland_timetables/ |date=22 January 2015 }} Great Southern Rail</ref>
[[The Overland]] is the only passenger railway that still services Murray Bridge, after [[South Australian Railways|South Australia's country rail]] operations ceased in the 1990s. Over recent years there have been discussions about re-instating commuter rail services between [[Adelaide]] and Murray Bridge, however there has been little to no progress made.
The Murray Bridge Transport Precinct is a historic area that includes the railway station and wharf area, the original bridge constructed in 1879 and converted for dual road and rail use in 1886. It returned to being only a road bridge in 1925 when a separate rail bridge (also included in the heritage precinct) opened to handle heavier trains. The railway now passes under the road approach to the bridge through the [[Murray Bridge Tunnel]], a short cut-and-cover tunnel built as part of works for the new rail bridge in 1925.<ref name="heritage"/>
==== Highways ====
Both bridges cross the [[Murray River]] between Murray Bridge and [[Murray Bridge East, South Australia|Murray Bridge East]]. The road bridge was part of the [[Princes Highway]] from 1935 until 1979. Murray Bridge is now connected by road to Adelaide via the [[South Eastern Freeway]] which leads to a newer crossing of the river further south on the [[Swanport Bridge]] built in 1979. [[List of road routes in South Australia#B35|State road route B35]] connects from the north of the town towards [[Palmer, South Australia|Palmer]] and the central [[Adelaide Hills]] and [[List of road routes in South Australia#B36|route B36]] leads towards [[Mannum]], other river towns and the [[Sturt Highway]].
==== Bus ====
Various bus and coach services are provided in Murray Bridge, the primary operator being [[LinkSA]], operating a service to Adelaide via [[Mount Barker, South Australia|Mount Barker]] and local 'Dial-A-Ride' service.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://linksa.com.au/|title=Link SA|website=linksa.com.au|access-date=23 April 2017}}</ref> Stateliner (formerly Premier Stateliner) stop at Murray Bridge on its south-east services to [[Mount Gambier, South Australia|Mt Gambier]].

==== Airport ====
[[Murray Bridge Airport]] is nine kilometres north of the town, but does not have any scheduled services.
==== Walking Trails ====
The [[Lavender Federation Trail]] is a long-distance walking trail ({{convert|350|km|disp=or}}) that extends from Murray Bridge along the eastern [[Mount Lofty Ranges]] to [[Clare, South Australia|Clare]].

=== Retail ===
Most of Murray Bridge's retail and dining facilities are located on and in close proximity to Bridge Street. The majority contained within two main shopping centres, Murray Bridge Green and Murray Bridge Marketplace.
Murray Bridge Green opened in 1976 as a Woolworths supermarket and a small number of additional stores. The centre was extended in 2001 and included a Target Country. A new addition to the original shopping complex was completed in 2015, which included a second (and larger) [[Coles Supermarkets|Coles]], and a new [[Target Australia|Target]] replacing [[Target Australia|Target Country]], which the site made way for a Cheap as Chips discount store. After 42 years of trading, the Woolworths store closed in May 2018.
A [[Drakes Supermarkets|Drakes Supermarket]] opened in mid-2019 at the former Woolworths supermarket site of Murray Bridge Green shopping centre.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Zirkel|first=Emma|date=28 August 2018|title=Grass is greener on the other side for food retailer|url=https://www.murrayvalleystandard.com.au/story/5613286/foodland-to-open-in-murray-bridge-green/|access-date=25 August 2019|language=en|newspaper=[[The Murray Valley Standard]]}}</ref> Drake's is the seventh supermarket currently operating in Murray Bridge.<ref>{{cite news|last=Strathearn|first=Peri|date=15 April 2019|title=Drakes Supermarket opens in Murray Bridge|newspaper=[[The Murray Valley Standard]]|url=https://www.murrayvalleystandard.com.au/story/6052598/drakes-supermarket-opens-in-murray-bridge/|access-date=25 August 2019}}</ref>

There was a previous Woolworths store that was located in Bridge Street on the corner of Sixth Street opposite the then Town Hall and Court House.

This was in part due to COVID-19, but also due to organisational changes and growing online activity. The printing press at the Murray Bridge site was closed and resulted in the loss of 26 jobs.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2020-07-31|title=Print centre to close; The Standard continues to publish|url=https://www.murrayvalleystandard.com.au/story/6858875/print-centre-to-close-the-standard-continues-to-publish/|access-date=2021-01-11|website=The Murray Valley Standard|language=en-AU}}</ref>
However, the Murray Valley Standard is still published online as of 19 May 2021.<ref>{{Cite web|title=News {{!}} The Murray Valley Standard {{!}} Murray Bridge, SA|url=https://www.murrayvalleystandard.com.au/news/|access-date=2021-05-19|website=www.murrayvalleystandard.com.au}}</ref>

==Infrastructure==
[[File:Sun setting on the Rail Bridge at Murray Bridge.jpg|thumb|The Rail Bridge over the [[Murray River]] at sunset, 1975.]]
=== Transport ===
==== Rail ====
[[Murray Bridge railway station]] is on the [[Adelaide-Wolseley railway line|Adelaide to Wolseley railway line]], the South Australian part of the [[Melbourne–Adelaide rail corridor]]. It is served by [[Journey Beyond]]'s twice weekly passenger service ''[[The Overland]]'' operating between [[Adelaide Parklands Terminal|Adelaide]] and [[Southern Cross railway station|Melbourne]].<ref>[http://www.greatsouthernrail.com.au/fares_and_timetables/timetables/the_overland_timetables/ The Overland Timetables] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150122090836/http://www.greatsouthernrail.com.au/fares_and_timetables/timetables/the_overland_timetables/ |date=22 January 2015 }} Great Southern Rail</ref>
[[The Overland]] is the only passenger railway that still services Murray Bridge, after [[South Australian Railways|South Australia's country rail]] operations ceased in the 1990s. Over recent years there have been discussions about re-instating commuter rail services between [[Adelaide]] and Murray Bridge, however there has been little to no progress made.
The Murray Bridge Transport Precinct is a historic area that includes the railway station and wharf area, the original bridge constructed in 1879 and converted for dual road and rail use in 1886. It returned to being only a road bridge in 1925 when a separate rail bridge (also included in the heritage precinct) opened to handle heavier trains. The railway now passes under the road approach to the bridge through the [[Murray Bridge Tunnel]], a short cut-and-cover tunnel built as part of works for the new rail bridge in 1925.<ref name="heritage"/>
==== Highways ====
Both bridges cross the [[Murray River]] between Murray Bridge and [[Murray Bridge East, South Australia|Murray Bridge East]]. The road bridge was part of the [[Princes Highway]] from 1935 until 1979. Murray Bridge is now connected by road to Adelaide via the [[South Eastern Freeway]] which leads to a newer crossing of the river further south on the [[Swanport Bridge]] built in 1979. [[List of road routes in South Australia#B35|State road route B35]] connects from the north of the town towards [[Palmer, South Australia|Palmer]] and the central [[Adelaide Hills]] and [[List of road routes in South Australia#B36|route B36]] leads towards [[Mannum]], other river towns and the [[Sturt Highway]].
