History
After 1969 Bell System corporate identity overhaul, which included the famous Saul Bass Bell logo, the name was shortened to C&P Telephone on marketing materials, bills, vehicles, etc.
In 1984, when the Bell System was divided into the Regional Bell Operating Companies, or "Baby Bells", the C&P Telephone companies became part of Bell Atlantic.
In 1994, Bell Atlantic renamed all of its operating companies. C&P Telephone of Virginia was renamed Bell Atlantic – Virginia, Inc.
After Bell Atlantic's merger with GTE in 2000, the system was renamed Verizon, and so were its Bell Operating Companies. Bell Atlantic - Virginia, Inc. was renamed Verizon Virginia, Inc.
In 2010, operations in Alleghany County that served customers in Crows and Hematite were split from Verizon Virginia and transferred to Frontier Communications of Virginia, a subsidiary of Frontier Communications.
Present day
In 2011, Verizon Virginia became a limited liability company, changing its name to Verizon Virginia LLC.
