Brno was the third largest city of the Austrian part of the former Austro-Hungarian Empire and is today part of the Czech Republic. It was the first to install a horse-drawn tram service, which began on August 17, 1869.

The company known today as Brno Tramway was launched in June 1876, with its first route running from the main station to Pisárky.

Steam trams began operation in the system in 1884, under the name Steam Tramway Brno. In the 1900s, the conversion from steam to electrical power began, but steam locomotives were still used, until 1914, to transport goods.

The first of the electric rail lines in Brno were put into operation on 21 June 1900.
