First Telegraph Message

What hath God wrought?

In May 1844, Samuel Morse demonstrated his electric telegraph on a line between Washington, D.C., and Baltimore. The message, “What hath God wrought?”, was chosen by Annie Ellsworth and received by Alfred Vail. The demonstration helped establish the usefulness of Morse’s system for sending information over long distances.
