Histórico
In 1912 directors of the rural telephone companies met to discuss amalgamation with the Village of Tuxford for joint service. The Tuxford Rural Telephone Company was organized with J.B. Calver as secretary-treasurer and agent. Under the arrangement made the company carried on their business individually, continued to service their own lines, but shared the overall expenses of a central building and an operator. Elzer Sloan was awarded the tender to build a new telephone building.
In 1921 a motion was passed “that provided the government install a village system and the other rural companies organize under the new Land Tax system.” The four rural companies (Huron & Clinton, Farewell, Buffalo Lake and Maple Leaf) merged completely with Tuxford and their books were closed. N. H. Hatchard was shown as telephone agent in 1921. The telephone building was sold as the foundation was faulty. The vacated bank building was purchased and the Tuxford Rural Telephone Company continued from there.
In January 1950 the switchboard closed and Tuxford went on an automatic dialing system. On September 3, 1977 it became part of the Moose Jaw exchange system.
