The American Civil War had ended 35 years earlier.  Electricity had come to Portland, Maine only 17 years earlier, and in the hills of Oxford County a new company began operation, bringing telephone service to businesses and homes in one of the most rural, rugged regions of the state.
That year was 1900.  Since then, we have added services, developed a 600+ mile fiber optic network and expanded to welcome both business and residential customers throughout Maine.
