LincMad Telephone Area Codes & Splits

Evolution of North American Area Codes, 1947 to 2007

The following chart shows the original 86 area codes, plus the regions that were added later, and the area codes now used in those regions. Many of the new area codes were created by simple geographic splits, but in several cases the existing boundary was realigned and/or a new area code was created from portions of two old area codes. Splits for 2007-2008 for which reasonably firm information is available are indicated below, but there are further splits that are expected to be finalized in the coming months. Stay tuned for updates. Updated February 23, 2007.

(Also check the cumulative listing of area code splits since 1980. For example, if you have an old telephone number and don't know the new area code, you can check it against this chart.)
