Cox Communications began as Cox Enterprises, an Atlanta-based family-owned chain of newspapers. Cox entered the cable TV business in 1962 with the purchase of several cable networks in Pennsylvania.

Cox Broadcasting was later renamed Cox Communications.
In 1993, Cox Communications began marketing business telecommunications services. It was the first multiple cable system operator to do so.

Shortly thereafter, it began offering broadband internet service.
