It was on August 10th, 1876 that Alexander Graham Bell received the first "long distance" phone call from Robert White's Boot & Shoe Store and Telegraph Office in Paris (now Inksaters) to his home at 94 Tutela Heights Road (the Bell Homestead). He did this using a 13 km (8 mile) cable between Brantford and the Town of Paris. The cable actually extended 136 miles to receive power from a battery supply which was located in Toronto!
