The Elbeuf tramway was put into service in 1898 in the southern part of the Seine-Inférieure department (now Seine-Maritime) to facilitate the movement of the residents of the textile city of Elbeuf and its working-class suburbs. With its four standard gauge lines, each nine kilometers long and diverging from Place du Calvaire, the network transported up to 1.5 million people, in 1899, at the beginning of the operation.
