In 1903, streetcars began running along city streets from the San Joaquin River through the fig garden area to downtown Fresno and east along Huntington Boulevard to Sunnyside. Providing a reliable, entertaining, and even elegant method of transportation, trolley cars quickly became an overnight sensation and continued for 36 years under the operation of the Fresno Traction Company. The men and the streetcars helped shape the growth of the community.
