In 1937, a group of dedicated and visionary men in our area made a survey among farm families to determine their need for electrical service. Much time and energy was spent to obtain applications for service and right-of-way pledges. The excitement ran high and the coming of electricity to the rural area was the conversation topic for group gatherings. After much hard work and many long hours spent in travel to and from Washington, D.C., Mitchell EMC incorporators were informed that the loan application was approved and the Charter was granted in the fall of 1937.
