On this day in Mendocino history…

June 1, 1928 – 24-hour telephone service began in Mendocino. This long-awaited improvement in service increased the number of operators to three, each working an 8-hour shift, with an extra operator for emergencies. The telephone equipment was also updated, including a larger switchboard.
