About North State Communications

  North State had its beginning in 1895 when a group of High Point
  businessmen established the High Point Telephone Exchange, in
  High Point, North Carolina, having only 60 crank-type telephones
  in service. Four years later in 1899, Mr. J. F. Hayden, who had
  pioneered the very first telephone system in Thomasville, joined with
  Mr. T. J. Finch and purchased the High Point Telephone Exchange
  and, thereafter, expanded and improved the system rapidly.

  In 1905, the name of the business was changed to North State
  Telephone Company when the firm was incorporated. In 1919,
  Mr. Hayden purchased the competing Southern Bell system in
  High Point which had been operating since 1907. In 1920, North
  State gained great recognition when it became the first telephone
  company in the State to install the automatic dial telephone system.

  In 1929, the Company purchased the Randleman telephone system,
  and, in 1935, the Thomasville Company was merged into North State.
  The rest of the 108-year history of our company is a story of constant
  growth in customers, services and marked advances in technology.
  108 years in business is indeed a proud accomplishment for all
  associated with North State!

  Our Company's unique longevity has indeed produced historic,
  embedded corporate strengths as reflected in its people, its
  facilities and its expertise in the communications business.
  We intend to capitalize on these distinct advantages as we
  move North State forward.
