OUr History
1954 - North Carolina’s large telephone companies refused to serve rural neighborhoods, claiming that the cost to serve these sparsely populated areas were just too high. Responding to the critical need for reliable communications, some local leaders of Randolph, Chatham, and Moore counties banded together to begin the long process of obtaining a charter for Randolph Telephone Membership Corporation. On May 13, 1954, the Secretary of the State of North Carolina granted A Certificate of Incorporation through the North Carolina Rural Electrification Authority.
1957 - On June 1, 1957, when Alvin Shaw, the cooperative’s first vice president stood before a large assemblage in the grange Hall in Farmer. As the crowd watched, Shaw placed a long-distance call to Raleigh, where the state REA chairman waited. This marked the beginning of actual operations. RTMC provided telephone service to 97 residents in Farmer.
