Description
South Central Communications (South Central Utah Telephone Association, Inc.) is one of the largest employers and telecommunication companies in Southern Utah. We offer communications products and services ranging from local and long distance telephone service to cellular communications, Internet access, cable TV and high-tech business communication solutions.
South Central Communications traces its roots back to 1908, when Forest Service crews completed the first wire line from Teasdale to Escalante, stringing the line on poles and trees. Over the next few years several individuals bought telephones and ran their own lines to the switchboard.
In 1919 Leander Shurtz borrowed one thousand dollars from the bank and, with the help of his father and three brothers, built the Escalante Telephone Company. Leander, who was blind, operated the system with marvelous efficiency for the next twenty-six years. There were no numbers - callers simply asked Leander to connect them to "Aunt Mandy" or "Don Jones."
