Remarks:
When the Bell patents expired in 1893 and 1894, competing telephone companies appeared throughout the U.S. The Home Telephone Co. was organized in Cleveland in 1895, then reorganized as the Cuyahoga Telephone Co. in 1898. By the end of 1904, Cuyahoga Telephone was serving 12,194 subscribers with 13,711 phones. Cuyahoga Telephone Co. was one of the first independent, non-Bell telephone companies in the nation. Based in Cleveland, it eventually merged into what became the Ohio Bell Telephone Co., which later merged into Ameritech.
