Mule-drawn cars were instituted as public transportation in Little Rock (Pulaski County), the state’s capital city, in 1876. Approximately a year later, street cars to transport busy citizens were introduced along Main Street. A crew is shown here working on those street car lines in 1910. Though the street car was discontinued sometime in the mid-twentieth century, parts of Little Rock, including the River Market District, once again became home to a street-car service in the twenty-first century.
