Corporate Town of Murray Bridge

The Corporate Town of Murray Bridge was a local government area in South Australia from 1924 to 1977. It was established in February 1924, when the town of Murray Bridge was severed from the District Council of Mobilong, of which it had been the council seat and largest town, and incorporated as its own municipality. It was divided into four wards at its inception (North, South, East and West), each electing two councillors. Maurice Parish, who had been chairman of the Mobilong council, was appointed as the inaugural mayor of Murray Bridge. The two councils subsequently agreed that the town council would inherit the existing in exchange for providing for the construction of new offices for the Mobilong council in Bridge Street.
