FIRST ‘’911’’ CALL WAS PLACED ON THIS DAY

First "911" call is placed in the US- today in history - News Without ...
The first 911 call was placed by Rep. Rankin Fite (right ) the Speaker of the Alabama House of Representatives, in the
town of Haleyville, AL. The phone used to make the first
U.S. 911 call is shown on display.

February 16, 1968 sees the first official "911" call placed in the
United States. Now taken for granted as first course of action
in the event of emergency by nearly all of the nation’s 327
million people, 911 is a relatively recent invention and was
still not standard across the United States for many years
after its adoption by Congress.

AT&T chose the number 911, which was simple, easy to
remember, dialed quickly and  worked well with the phone
systems at the time.
