Western Union
The Western Union Company is an American financial services and communications provider, headquartered in Meridian, Colorado, with its mailing address listed under nearby Englewood. Historically, it was the most recognized U.S. company in telegram services until it ceased offering them in 2006.
Western Union operates through several divisions, providing a range of products including person-to-person money transfers, money orders, business payments, and commercial services. The company once offered services such as standard “Cablegrams,” as well as unique options like Candygrams, Dollygrams, and Melodygrams.
During the late 19th century, Western Union was a dominant player in the telegraph industry, holding a monopoly over communications and establishing the first communications empire. Its influence set a precedent for the structure of modern American communications businesses.
