History

Opened in 14 May 1881 (1881-05-14), the Port Elizabeth tramway network was operated initially by horsecars.[1] From 16 June 1897 (1897-06-16), the network was converted to electrical power.[1] It was closed on 17 December 1948 (1948-12-17).[1]

The tram rails are still visible in a few locations, notably outside the Port Elizabeth Golf course on the approach road to Cape Road.
