Our Rich History

In 1923, D. E. McGregor tired of traveling over five states selling telephone equipment. During his travels he found that the owners and operators of the Farmer’s Home Telephone Company with exchanges in Gibbon and Shelton, were tiring of operating the company so he became manager of the company. On March 17, 1928, the Nebraska Central Telephone Company (NCTC, Company) was formed by consolidating the properties of the Farmers Home Telephone Company, the Ansley Telephone Company (with operations in Ansley and Berwyn), and the Arcadia Telephone Company.
