The area around Marree was first explored by Europeans when, In 1840, Edward John Eyre travelled north from Spencer Gulf and reached the southern shores of Lake Eyre South. In 1859 John McDouall Stuart entered the area and it was his assistant Herrgott who discovered the mound springs after which the early town took its name - although somewhere along the way poor Herrgott lost an 'r' and the settlement became Hergott Springs. The camp became an official town in 1883 when the railway reached it. it was then renamed Marree.
