The Pioneer Route and Electric Railways of Northeast Ohio presents mass transit in the nineteenth- and twentieth-century urban United States from a business history perspective. Starting in the 1890s, a revolution in transportation--interurbans--emerged from Ohio's largest cities and, within a single decade, extended throughout the surrounding countryside. These systems of interconnecting electric railways were made possible by a favorable political and business culture and fed by an insatiable demand. Driven by a growing population and the desire for efficient transportation services, nascent business organizations acquired the cash, approval of local governments, and essential support of the incipient electrical goods manufacturing industry. In all of this, Ohio would be the leader. Ohio's people, businesses, and resources cultivated the emergence of the electric railway industry to a scale unsurpassed elsewhere in the US.
