The New York Telephone Company (NYTel) was organized in 1896, taking over the New York City operations of the American Bell Telephone Company. American Telephone and Telegraph (AT&T) eventually acquired a controlling interest, and New York Telephone was an AT&T subsidiary until the AT&T breakup effective January 1, 1984. At that time, New York Telephone, along with the New England Telephone & Telegraph Company, became part of a Regional Bell operating company named NYNEX. The company was referred to as "New York Telephone, a NYNEX Company" before being called simply "NYNEX". On August 15, 1997, Bell Atlantic acquired NYNEX. On June 30, 2000, Bell Atlantic merged with GTE to form the current Verizon Communications. New York Telephone's headquarters is at 140 West St., New York, NY.
