Note: George Edwards was the first European settler at Murray Bridge. He called his property "Coninka". It was near what is known today as Hume Reserve, just north of the original bridge. Stock swam across the river near Edwards' house, and the place came to be known as Edwards Crossing. It was also known as the Turn-Off, because drovers from the north would either cross the river to Adelaide or follow the river south. As more people came to live in the area, the settlement was called Mobilong.
Building of the first bridge across the river commenced in 1873 and was completed in 1879. The town quickly became known as Murray Bridge, but it was not until 1924 that the name became official.
