The buckboard wagon gets its name from its distinctive design, which features a flexible board or platform that is mounted on springs and can "buck" or bounce over rough terrain. This design allows for a smoother ride compared to rigid wagons. The term "buckboard" reflects the motion of the board as it absorbs shocks from uneven surfaces, making it particularly useful for transporting goods and people in rural areas during the 19th century.
