"Horse and buggy" generally refers to a distinctly American horse-drawn four-wheeled vehicle. At the time the buggy was first created, which was likely in the early 19th century, European vehicles tended to be heavily built. The buggy was more lightweight, taking advantage of certain strong kinds of wood that were available.

Earlier in the history of transportation, the chariot was used in Assyria and other middle-eastern areas perhaps 5000 years ago.
