Windsor, Ontario Streetcar System

Windsor, Ontario was the first Canadian city with an electric street car system, which was introduced in 1886.〔Harry Black, Canadian Scientists and Inventors. Markham: Pembroke Publishers Limited, 1997.〕〔 Other Canadian cities soon followed suit, with St. Catharines in 1887 and Toronto in 1889.〔 By World War I, nearly 50 Canadian cities had streetcar systems in place.〔Kearney, Mark, and Randy Ray. Pucks, Pablum and Pingos. Canada: Dundurn Press, 2004.〕 By the time Windsor’s streetcar system was dismantled in 1937, the system’s scale was extensive and it serviced all 5 of the major riverfront communities of Windsor, Ford City (East Windsor), Sandwich, Walkerville and Ojibway.
== Early Beginnings ==
The streetcar system adopted by the city of Windsor and surrounding towns was developed by Charles J. Van Depoele.〔Schramm, Kenneth. Detroit’s Street Railways. Chicago: Arcadia Publishing, 2006.〕 VanDepoele had immigrated to Detroit, Michigan from Belgium in 1874 to develop his electric system.〔 Windsor was the first city to adopt VanDepoele’s system, as well as the first in Canada to have any type of electric streetcar system.〔 Prior to the electric cars, a horse-drawn streetcar system had been in place since 1872.〔 The new railway began development under two companies, the Windsor-Walkerville Street Railway Company and the Windsor-Sandwich Street Railway Company until the two merged in 1891 to later become the Sandwich, Windsor, and Amherstberg Street Railway (S.W. & A.R.).〔 VanDepoele’s electric streetcar first ran in Windsor on June 6, 1886, servicing the small town nestled south of the Detroit River.〔
