Since the 4th century BC, there have been reports of [[floating mill]]s powered by the streams of the river. The [[ancient]] technology was adopted later by arriving [[Slavs]] and then by [[Magyars]]. Several decades ago, in the 1920s and 1930s, many of these mills were still operating along the river. At least one of the old mills, the Babič Mill ({{lang-sl|Babičev mlin}}) near [[Veržej]], Slovenia, continues to operate to this day.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.slovenia.si/culture/tradition/milling-as-remembrance-of-times-past-in-prekmurje/|title=Milling as Remembrance of Times Past in Prekmurje|work=slovenia.si|date=May 2008|
The Mur is known to carry small quantities of [[gold]], not enough to be suitable for exploitation today, but this was a focus of activity for many people since ancient times. Organized [[research]] and exploitation of gold and other local resources was encouraged for the first time in 1772.
