From Trolley Line To Road Trolleys Gave Name To Aiken Road
Davis Pharmacy on Park Avenue housed the trolley line headquarters in Aiken. John Eubanks recalls riding the trolley from Union Street to Augusta and stopping at Bethany Cemetery, Park in the Pines Hotel, and Graniteville Pond on trips east and west. The 1905 Park in the Pines edition notes the 24 mile line from Augusta to Aiken and credits forward looking capitalists.

Trolley Link Between Aiken and Augusta Ends by 1940s Road
Historic line crossed Savannah River via 13th Street bridge into Augusta then along Broad Street to Jackson Street depot. In operation until 1929, it faded as roads and autos rose. Rails stayed until the 1940s when removed to aid wartime tank and battleship construction, turning the route into a road.
