Telephony in British Columbia has a long history. The first telephone exchange in British Columbia was established in Victoria in 1878, just two years after Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone. This exchange had only a handful of subscribers, but it marked the beginning of a widespread adoption of telephone technology in the province. One interesting fact about British Columbia telephony is that it was the first province in Canada to have a direct long-distance telephone service. This service was established in 1887, between Vancouver and New Westminster, which were then two separate cities.
