October 24, 1861: The First transcontinental telegraph was completed

The First transcontinental telegraph was completed on October 24, 1861, connecting the eastern United States telegraph network to California through Salt Lake City. [1]

The Project

• Builders: Crews from the Pacific Telegraph Company and the Overland Telegraph Company built the line.
• Distance: Workers strung about 2,000 miles of iron wire over 27,500 wooden poles.
• Time: The massive project took only 112 days to finish. Read more about the construction details at ETHW Milestones. [1, 2, 3]

How It Worked

• Signals: Operators sent electrical pulses using Morse code over the long wires.
• Connection: It joined the eastern network in Nebraska with the western network in Nevada.
• First Message: California Chief Justice Stephen J. Field sent a telegram to President Abraham Lincoln to pledge loyalty to the Union. [1, 2, 3]

The Impact

• Speed: People could send messages across the country in minutes instead of weeks.
• Pony Express: The new line made the Pony Express horseback mail service obsolete within two days.
