The first city to use electric street lights was Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1879.Hmm i was under the impression that Paris Compagnie Générale d'Électriqué company insalled electric lighting in Grand Magasins de Louvre, Paris. Then shortly after to light Holburn Viaduct and the Thames Embankment in London in 1878.Why do the Americans think they invented everything...
Godalming in Surrey, England, 1881. Parts of London followed later the same year with Pearl St, Manhattan, NY being the first installation in the US in 1882

In 1888 the town of Reefton became the first place in New Zealand (and first in the Southern Hemisphere) to be lit with electricity. Wellington became the first city to have electricity in 1889. Reefton's electricity only arrived 6 years after it was installed in Kimberley, South Africa on 1 September 1882, making it the first place in the Southern Hemisphere to get electric lighting.

Benjamin Franklin was the first to discover electricity.
I expect Redruth... Why because there were alot of steam engines being built there (used as generators) eg watt and stevenson....
Ben Franklin is first credited with understanding electricity.
electricity came first because Thomas's bulb used electricity so electricity came first.
