The telegraph was built using a system of electrical signals transmitted over wires. Samuel Morse and Alfred Vail developed the first practical telegraph in the 1830s, using a simple circuit and Morse Code to encode messages. The construction involved laying insulated copper wire along poles or underground, connecting it to a battery at one end and a receiver, typically a relay or sounder, at the other. This innovation significantly reduced communication time over long distances.
Samuel Morse was the father of the telegraph and of Morse code. He built his first line between Washington DC and Baltimore in 1843.

Railroads and the telegraph i believe
telegraph invented
Telegraph lines were also built for transcontinental communication in the Pacific Railroad Act.
Needing rapid communication, railroad companies built telegraph lines along the railroad rights of way as the track was laid. The linkage made these lines easier to protect and maintain than the original First Transcontinental Telegraph lines.
the telegraph went through many stages before becoming known as the telephone.
A British built telegraph connected Aleppo, Beirut, and Damascus
The first working electrostatic telegraph was built by the English inventor Francis Ronalds but its origins go back much farther to pre electric versions (hand signals by sight which has nothing to do with the machine but same concept) and electrochemical-where electricity alone was not used in the design
telegraph changed to internet
Telegraph-Journal was created in 1862.
Yes a telegraph can be wireless. Thomas Edison invented the first wireless telegraph
