The dancing plague of 1518 was a strange phenomenon that occurred in Strasbourg, which was then part of the Holy Roman Empire (now France). In the summer of 1518, a woman named Frau Troffea began dancing in the streets and continued for days without rest. Soon, more people joined her, and within a month, there were around 400 people dancing uncontrollably in the city.
The second industrial revolution (1870-1914) transformed the urban landscape of the United States.[1] This urbanization and subsequent migration of people across the United States required a massive investment in transportation. Although the railroad quickly transformed itself into the principal means of distance transportation by the 1870s, horses remained the primary means of transportation, distribution, and labor in all significant urban areas.
