About Murray
Welcome to Murray, Utah
Murray sits centrally in the Salt Lake Valley at the junction of I-15 and I-215, with multiple TRAX and FrontRunner stops. Settled beginning in 1848 by Mormon pioneers known as the Mississippi Saints, the area was originally called South Cottonwood; it was renamed for territorial governor Eli Murray when the local post office took his name in 1883. After ore was discovered in Park City and Little Cottonwood Canyon in the 1870s, Murray's rail access made it a natural smelting hub — the city was home to some of the region's largest gold, silver, copper, lead, and zinc smelters for the next 30 years, drawing thousands of workers from across Europe. Murray incorporated as a Third Class City on January 3, 1903. That industrial history still shapes the city: Intermountain Medical Center, Murray's largest employer, was built on the site of a former lead smelter. Fashion Place Mall anchors the city's Commercial Core along State Street, and Murray Central's TRAX station has become a walkable transit hub. Murray runs its own independent school district — one of only a handful of city-based districts left in Utah — with a single high school, Murray High, home of the Spartans. Murray's civic calendar centers on Murray City Fun Days each July, a Fourth of July tradition dating to 1958, alongside Movies in the Park through the summer and the Doggie Dash 5K each fall.
