The Corporate Town of Murray Bridge was a local government area in South Australia from 1924 to 1977.
Maurice Parish, who had been chairman of the Mobilong council, was appointed as the inaugural mayor of Murray Bridge.
[3] The council's early years saw the acquisition of roadmaking equipment, the construction of enclosed swimming baths, dressing and shelter sheds on the river foreshore, and the ongoing management of the Sturt Reserve and Long Island camping grounds.
A free public library lending service was initiated in 1967, and an underground system of stormwater drainage implemented in 1969.
The rapid growth of Murray Bridge had seen the town expanding into the area controlled by the district council, and the associated development issues had strengthened arguments for amalgamation.
