Unlike other cities where Pacific Electric operated local streetcars, Long Beach's system did not predate the company's services.

Local services were discontinued in 1940, but interurban service to Los Angeles persisted until 1961. The route of the former main interurban line was rebuilt in the late 1980s as the Metro Blue Line, which operates at-grade with car traffic for a portion of its length.
