The original streetcar line that ran from Downtown Jacksonville along Kings Road – now Roosevelt Boulevard – into what became San Marco opened for service at noon on November 12, 1892. Tracks were laid down across the wetlands area between Hogans Creek (now Baymeadows) and Old Kings Road (now Roosevelt Blvd). The trolley stopped at three stations in what is now San Marco: Bay Street, Park Place and Ramsey Road. The trolley was a vital commuter link to Jacksonville’s central business district
