Young, Arizona is a small, historic community nestled in the scenic Pleasant Valley of Gila County. MTE began serving the Young exchange in April 1995, when the Young telephone exchange was acquired and brought into the MTE family. That expansion helped connect this rural area to dependable telephone service and laid the groundwork for future internet and broadband development from Midvale Telephone Exchange. ​ Since then, MTE has continued upgrading technology in the Young area, evolving from traditional telephone lines to modern broadband and fiber builds as part of its ongoing mission to bring reliable connectivity to rural communities.
