History

Frans's Station on the Butterfield Overland Mail was located about 3 miles north of Murray from 1858.

The area that became Murray was settled in 1874 by Thomas Price. J. J. Murray joined Price, the two hunted buffalo there and in 1875 made the first wagon passage to the townsite. Other pioneers followed. The new town was named for Murray when the post office was established in 1880.[2]

gollark: Even `for i in range(2**32): pass` is slow in Python and I don't know why.
gollark: But this is an esolang, so I doubt it's very efficiently implemented, and this might be doing some sort of inefficient stuff itself.
gollark: I mean, 2^32 is actually within tractable computation range for modern computers (it's 2 billion or so, and my laptop can probably manage 8GIPS (giga-instructions per second) sequentially).
gollark: This is the problem - with ones which are too long they can't be really tested.
gollark: In decently general-purpose programming languages with access to more space, you can construct ridiculously large numbers by implementing ↑ and all that.
