New England Telephone and Telegraph Company
From Wikinfo
(Redirected from New England Telephone and Telegraph)
The New England Telephone and Telegraph Company was the first company set up to develop the then-new telephone. It was formed February 12, 1878 by investors in the states of Massachusetts and Rhode Island at the behest of an agent of Gardiner Hubbard, the father-in-law of telephone inventor Alexander Graham Bell.
That company had no direct relationship to the later New England Telephone and Telegraph Company, which is now part of Verizon.
