Winnipeg Cab History
from the 1870s to the 1960s
by Norman Beattie.
This web site outlines the history of cabs in Winnipeg from the 1870s to the 1960s. It is largely based on two articles published in Urban History Review, one by Donald F. Davis and the other by me.
The main story (with occasional digressions) is told here in the right-hand column of each page. The left column contains pictures.
The (Note) link goes to the "Notes and Sources" page which provides source references and supplementary information or comments.
