  • San Diego's Class 1 Streetcars
    San Diego’s Class 1 Streetcars Historic Landmark #339 Our History, Our Heritage, and Our Future 1910 - 1912: The Panama-California Exposition and the Creation of the Class 1 Streetcars In 1910 the long awaited opening of the Panama Canal was fast approaching. San Diego's leaders decided to use this event to advertise San Diego as the port of choice for ships traveling through the canal by holding the Panama-California Exposition. It was set to take place in 1915 and would be held on a parcel of land just north of downtown, soon to be named Balboa Park. Early San Diego developer and streetcar system owner, John D. Spreckels, directed his engineers at the San Diego Electric Railway Company to design a special new "state of the art" streetcar to carry patrons to and from the exposition at Balboa Park. The mastercar builders at the San Diego Electric Railway Co. designed a unique new streetcar just for San Diego's mild climate. These large and beautiful Arts & Crafts style streetcars became known as San Diego’s Class 1 streetcars. Spreckels approved the designs and an order for 24 of these brand new streetcars was sent to the renowned St. Louis Car Company for construction. 1912 - 1939: Class 1 Streetcars in operation throughout San Diego The Class 1 streetcars provided fun and dependable transportation to countless thousands of patrons from 1912 to 1939. They operated throughout all of San Diego's historic districts and neighborhoods, as well as to many outlying areas. The Class 1 streetcars successfully supplied the transportation needs for the large crowds that attended the 1915 Panama-California Exposition, and went on to serve through WWI, the Roaring Twenties, and the Great Depression.

  • The Making of the Panama-California Exposition, 1909-1915 by Richard W
    The Journal of San Diego History SAN DIEGO HISTORICAL SOCIETY QUARTERLY Winter 1990, Volume 36, Number 1 Thomas L. Scharf, Editor The Making of the Panama-California Exposition, 1909-1915 by Richard W. Amero Researcher and Writer on the history of Balboa Park Images from this article On July 9, 1901, G. Aubrey Davidson, founder of the Southern Trust and Commerce Bank and Commerce Bank and president of the San Diego Chamber of Commerce, said San Diego should stage an exposition in 1915 to celebrate the completion of the Panama Canal. He told his fellow Chamber of Commerce members that San Diego would be the first American port of call north of the Panama Canal on the Pacific Coast. An exposition would call attention to the city and bolster an economy still shaky from the Wall Street panic of 1907. The Chamber of Commerce authorized Davidson to appoint a committee to look into his idea.1 Because the idea began with him, Davidson is called "the father of the exposition."2 On September 3, 1909, a special Chamber of Commerce committee formed the Panama- California Exposition Company and sent articles of incorporation to the Secretary of State in Sacramento.3 In 1910 San Diego had a population of 39,578, San Diego County 61,665, Los Angeles 319,198 and San Francisco 416,912. San Diego's meager population, the smallest of any city ever to attempt holding an international exposition, testifies to the city's extraordinary pluck and vitality.4 The Board of Directors of the Panama-California Exposition Company, on September 10, 1909, elected Ulysses S.
