Stanton Telecom History

Stanton Telecom Inc. was first chartered as an independent telephone company on January 28, 1909. The name was Stanton Independent Telephone Company and was owned by H.J. Forbes and Harry D. Miller. On May 16,1951 the company was sold to R.G. and Maxine Deardorff. The Deardorffs changed the company name to Stanton Telephone Company, Inc. on March 27, 1979.

On August 1, 1980, the company was purchased by Leona K. Paden and the late Bernard L. Paden. Robert J. Paden acquired interest in the company shortly afterward. Upon completion of the sale, the Paden's began the undertaking of modernizing the Stanton Telephone Company facilities and operations.

A new central office switch was installed which provided touch-tone telephone service and many new features became available to all subscribers. The outside plant was also refurbished. New telephone cable was buried throughout the entire exchange.

The final phase of the project was completed in 1981 when the telephone office, located at 1004 Ivy Street in Stanton, was completely remodeled. Stanton Telecom continues to upgrade and improve its facilities.

In September, 1996, Stanton Telephone Company changed its name to Stanton Telecom Inc. The new company name reflects the variety of telecommunication services Stanton Telecom provides its customers. Just a few of the services provided are: call waiting, caller I.D., voice mail, internet access, teleconferencing, phone systems, and other residential and business calling services.

Stanton Telecom prides itself in its friendly and efficient service. Because of its presence in the community, installation and repairs are usually done within 24 hours the request is made. The company will continue to provide quality and reliable service to its customers in the future.
