Bell Telephone Company, headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama, was the
name of the Bell System's operations in Alabama, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Mississippi, and Tennessee. South Central Bell was created in July 1968
when the Bell telephone operations in those states were split off from
Southern Bell, similar to how Pacific Northwest Bell split off from
Pacific Telephone & Telegraph around the same time period. South
Central Bell was headquartered in (what is now) the AT&T City Center
building in Birmingham. In 1984, South Central Bell became a holding of
BellSouth Corporation, effectively reuniting South Central Bell with
Southern Bell, although both operated separately until 1995.
