Atlanta's First Black Maria and Old Patrol Wagons
A historical note on Atlanta's first Black Maria used to transport prisoners from the police barracks to the stockade farm. It was a heavy, four barred vehicle drawn by two horses with a rear door and limited ventilation. By 1885 the city built a modern light patrol wagon, while the old Black Maria remained a public curiosity and symbol of early policing.
