[comp.dcom.telecom] Groveton Area Near Alexandria, Va.

I looked up some 1965 listings just now and see 703-SO5 (765)
appearing at Fort Belvoir and Mount Vernon.  Notes made much later
which I have seen say that 765 is an Alexandria exchange in the
Groveton area, which is the next exchange down U.S. 1 and the Potomac
River from old-town Alexandria.  Fort Belvoir and Mount Vernon have
since split off from the Groveton ex- change, and a new exchange area,
south of the now-reduced Groveton exchange area, was set up.  I know
that 360 and 780 serve the Mount Vernon area, with some 781
(Engleside, the next exchange to the south, and which is toll to Md.)
mixed in; 664 is at Fort Belvoir, and I don't know what is on the pay
phones at Fort Belvoir.
