Answer: Trolley
What’s Behind the Answer:
What was a reason that helped grow the prosperity of the area?
In the early 1880's, the Atlanta Street Railroad Company extended the trolley route to Reynoldstown, contributing greatly to the area's prosperity. In 1894, the trolley route was changed from Wylie to Fair Street thereby promoting the southward development of this predominantly black community. Many homes and commercial buildings clustered around the railroad facilities in the northern part of the neighborhood. As its popularity spread, a larger number of freed slaves flocked there. Many of them came from various regions in the south to seek work and help improve the quality of their lives.
