VIRGINIA TELEPHONE CENTRAL OFFICE'S |
The Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company of Virginia (C&PTC) was the original Bell telephone franchise in the state. During the court required AT&T divestiture in 1984, numerous east coast bell operating companies formed Bell Atlantic. Bell Atlantic continued operation until 2000 when it was merged with GTE to form Verizon Corporation. All ex-Bell Atlantic offices are now operated by Verizon-Virgina.
