In 1950, the Verendrye Electric Cooperative board of directors turned their attention to bringing telephone service to those living in the rural areas of McHenry and Ward Counties as well as adjacent areas along the southern swing of the Souris River into central North Dakota.
In 1951, Souris River Telephone Mutual Aid Corporation was established and Articles of Incorporation were filed on September 29. A year later, in October 1952, SRT purchased its first exchange, the Martin Telephone Company, for $500. With this purchase, SRT acquired its first 82 subscribers.
Today, as North Dakota's largest telephone cooperative, SRT Communications, Inc. employs over 200 people and serves approximately 50,000 telephone customers in north central North Dakota.
