In 1948 Nunn Telephone Company purchased the telephone system from Mr. Frank Mann who operated the existing cord-board from the front of his residence at 287 Logan Avenue in Nunn, Colorado. The magneto system was connected by open wire on four main rural lines serving the rural area. At that time the system served approximately 80 customers. |

In 1959 the company converted the original cooperative organization into a stock company. Today the company has 7970 outstanding shares of stock held by 106 stockholders.
In 1965 the company applied for a REA loan to upgrade the system to dial with a mechanical step switch in a newly constructed central office building and began trenching in buried cable plant. In 1972 the Carr Telephone Company serving the town of Carr was purchased and added to the Nunn Telephone Company. In 1985 Nunn Telephone Company converted to digital switching with the use of a Nortel DMS 10 switch.
