On July 25, 1837, the first commercial use of an electrical telegraph was demonstrated in London by William Cooke and Charles Wheatstone. They transmitted messages over a one-mile wire between Euston and Camden Town stations. This demonstration proved the feasibility of rapid long-distance communication. It sparked widespread interest in telegraphy and led to the expansion of telegraph networks across Britain. The event marked the beginning of a communication revolution that would shrink perceived distances around the world.
