On the 1st of July 1972, Spruce Knob Seneca Rocks Telephone was formed as a Corporation to provide telephone service to the people of the Spruce Knob Seneca Rocks area as a non-profit organization. Among those founding the company were Duke A. McDaniel (Attorney) and the first Board of Directors, J. Dale Hinkle (Circleville), Jack C. Wilkins (Circleville), Virgil Hedrick (Mouth of Seneca), George C. Trumbo, Jr. (Onego), Russell Lawerence (Riverton), Conda R. Sponaugle (Circleville), Abraham Bennett (Circleville), and Joseph O. Harper (Mouth of Seneca).
Shortly after, planning and development began on the outside plant to build a network to link together potential customers with the outside world. With the completion of the network, the first phone service was installed and utilized in 1976. This would be the commencement of a rapidly growing network of 1200+ lines. Since then, digital technology has made it possible for Internet exploration, modern features, and special circuits, providing residents and businesses in the SKSRT serving area with unlimited and fully customizable service. SKSRT was the last phone company east of the Mississippi to upgrade from a stepper switch. Taking the place of the stepper switch was the Siemens DCO. With the many changes to the outside plant and switching equipment, the company had to upgrade to modern, more efficient ways of billing. Billing went from pen and paper to keyboard and computer.
