Googled "First Taxicabs" and came up with several articles. NY Times, May 9, 1915 "the 1st taxis were introduced in this country about 9 years ago from Paris and London. NY Times, 1910 talks of 1st taxis in NYC on May 31, 1909. Misc. articles talked of 1st taxis in NYC being battery powered in 1899. First woman cab driver in NYC was in 1925. Thanks, Jimmy M.

You can see a photo of Paris' taxicabs and short statement of their 1914 use here: http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://pro.corbis.com/images/SF32374.jpg%3Fsize%3D67%26uid%3D%257B41774FD5-41DE-4D28-BBA0-0556E79D1380%257D&imgrefurl=http://pro.corbis.com/search/Enlargement.aspx%3FCID%3Disg%26mediauid%3D%257B41774FD5-41DE-4D28-BBA0-0556E79D1380%257D&usg=__PNWD_MbdQshK3yCJvRXNtQ7e0_4=&h=336&w=640&sz=67&hl=en&start=12&tbnid=Jii-FwDK3F5FuM:&tbnh=72&tbnw=137&prev=/images%3Fq%3DWorld%2BWar%2BI%2BParis%2Btaxicab%26gbv%3D2%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official%26sa%3DG I love the Internet!!

On the other hand, I've read that when the Germans were closing in on Paris in World War I, the soldiers were called to the front lines, and many were driven from the city to the fighting in (then motorized) Parisian taxicabs...

Yes, that's what it said. Motorized Taxicabs were in Paris and Germany before they were in New York.

wikipedia is a good place to find answers to ?'s like that. It has a history of Taxicabs. Looks like the motorized ones weren't in the US until 1938, in NY.

Here's to Kat! May you have a great natal anniversary, and many, many happy returns of the day! CDHB
In 1769, the very first self-propelled road vehicle was a military tractor invented by French engineer and mechanic, Nicolas Joseph Cugnot. :) But Henry Ford had an engine running by 1893 but it was 1896 before he built his first car. By the end of the year Ford had sold his first car, which he called a Quadracycle, for $200 and used the money to build another one. With the financial backing of the Mayor of Detroit, William C. Maybury and other wealthy Detroiters, Ford formed the Detroit Automobile Company in 1899. A few prototypes were built but no production cars were ever made by this company. It was dissolved in January 1901. Ford would not offer a car for sale until 1903. ----- "Samantha Carlson" <[email protected]> wrote: > When did the first cars come out?> > > > > Samantha Carlson > > > > To contact Listowner: > Rena Worthen [email protected] > View the Floyd County Virginia Website at: > http://www.rootsweb.com/~vafloyd/floyd.htm >
Dear Mizz Kat - Belated birthday wishes for you, special lady. I'm late cause it snowed 5 inches and got so cold my fingers froze up here in sunny Sandy, UT. I just figured out something though. Now wayyy in the future, when people are trying to remember your b'day; they can look back on old Rootsweb List records and find the day - but never the year!
