On April 8, 1851, immediately after the introduction of the telegraph, a group of businessmen from the state New York created a telegraph company with a long name - New York and Mississippi Valley Printing Telegraph Co.
At that time, there were many regional telegraph systems on the market, riruyuschih with each other, which negatively affects the quality of services provided. Companions had extensive plans - instead of building new lines, they decided to concentrate their efforts on combining existing ones.

The expansion began in 1854, and in 1856 it was crowned with success - the company completed the unification of separate telegraph lines into a single system. In the same year, the company was renamed the Western Union Telegraph Company. Western Union immediately got into the cycle of the most important historical events.
