A painted sign or mural along a roadway in downtown Scranton, Pennsylvania highlights the city's designated nickname as 'The Electric City.' The nickname stems from when electric lights were introduced in 1880 at the Dickson Manufacturing Company and shortly thereafter, in 1886, the United States' first streetcars powered only by electricity began operating in Scranton.
