Trolley tracks once criss-crossed the Town of Pelham and connected the Town with the entire New York metropolitan area.  A report published in 1918 detailed, among other things, trolley lines in the Public Service Commission First District owned by The Westchester Electric Railroad Company.  Among those lines were those located in the three Villages within the Town of Pelham:  the Village of North Pelham, the Village of Pelham and the Village of Pelham Manor.
