Verizon New Jersey, Inc., formerly '''New Jersey Bell Telephone Company''', is the Bell Operating Company serving the U.S. State of New Jersey . In 1984 , the Bell System Divestiture split New Jersey Bell off into a RBOC , along with the 21 other BOCs AT&T had a majority stake in. On January 1 , 1984, New Jersey Bell became part of Bell Atlantic .

New Jersey Bell was founded in 1904 as an AT&T company serving southern New Jersey , Delaware and Atlantic Telegraph & Telephone Company. New York Telephone served northern New Jersey. In October 1927 , D&A T&T changed its name to New Jersey Bell Telephone Company, and purchased the New Jersey properties of New York Telephone .

Throughout the 80s to the first half of the 90s, New Jersey Bell kept its traditional identity. In 1994 , Bell Atlantic started rebranding all its companies to Bell Atlantic-(state), so New Jersey Bell became Bell Atlantic - New Jersey, Inc. In 2000 , after the Bell Atlantic - GTE merger, the corporation changed its name to Verizon , and so New Jersey Bell once again changed its name, this time to '''Verizon New Jersey, Inc.''' Verizon New Jersey's headquarters is the New Jersey Bell Building , 540 Broad Street, Newark, NJ .
