Streetcars in Santa Cruz, California

The history of streetcars in Santa Cruz spanned from 1875 to 1925. The city's tourist trade made it attractive as a place for developing streetcar suburbs. Horsecars gave way to electric propulsion in the decade of the 1900s, but deferred maintenance and the proliferation of automobile travel in the 1920s led to the system's replacement by buses.
