Mandy the Mule
Mandy the Mule is an icon in El Paso's history and represents the city's change from a sleepy settlement to a modern metropolis. In the 1880s a mule-drawn streetcar system was established but soon electric cars took place. Mandy pulled one of the last remaining mule-drawn streetcars until the electrification of streets made the animal-drawn vehicles needless in 1901. The restored mule car and a replica of Mandy were displayed on San Jacinto Plaza at first, and then for many years on Cleveland Square in downtown El Paso.
