词条 Murray Bridge
释义
Murray Bridge
South Australia, Australia
town, southeastern South Australia, on the Murray River, 52 miles (84 km) by road southeast of Adelaide. Originally a stop for cattle drovers, the town was organized in 1860 as the Hundred of Mobilong and grew as a river port. A bridge spanned the Murray in 1879, and the town of Mobilong was laid out in 1883. A rail span crossed the river in 1886. In the early 1900s, swamps along the river were drained for farming, and the region now yields wheat, fruits, dairy produce, vegetables, sheep, pigs, and poultry. Proclaimed a municipality in 1924, the community was renamed Murray Bridge. It is now a food-processing centre, with some light manufactures, one of Australia's largest dairy factories, and resort facilities. Pop. (2006) 17,678.
