Mobridge was named for the town's railroad designation, a contracted form of Missouri "Mo" Bridge for the original railroad bridge over the Missouri River. The bridge was demolished by the Corps of Engineers in the early 1960s and replaced by a higher bridge due to the construction of the Oahe Dam.[5]
There are disputed claims that some or all of Sitting Bull's remains were moved to Mobridge. The Brown Palace Hotel in Mobridge is listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. Indigenous American Oscar Howe painted a mural for the town's auditorium.
