First American Street Railway Begins Service in 1832
On November 26 1832 the New York and Harlem railroad opened in New York City as the first street railway. A horse car ran from Prince Street to Yorkville and Harlem, following part of today’s Fourth Avenue route. It later used steam power briefly, then returned to horse traction until 1852. Other cities soon followed.
