How to Read This Table

A typical listing is 501 AR 479 (2002), 870 (1997) In the left column, 501 is the original area code, located in Arkansas. In the right column are all new area codes to which a number in 501 might have changed by geographic split or realignment since 1995, in reverse chronological order, beginning with the most recent. Area code 501 split to form 479 in 2002. Before that, it split to form 870 in 1997. If area code 870 splits again, the new code will be shown under 501 as (870 → new). The area around Fort Pierce, Florida, has the distinction of the most convoluted listing, having changed from 305 to 407 to 561 to 772, with two of those splits occurring since 1995.

Splits that have not yet taken place will be indicated with [square brackets]. The combination of square brackets and parentheses indicates an upcoming split of an earlier split.

The color coding also indicates the age of the split. Splits that have not yet happened are shown in green. Splits from 2003 to present are shown in black boldface. Splits from 2000 to 2002 are shown in blue, and splits from 1995 to 1999 are shown in red. The splits shown in black are generally the most relevant; the red are shown primarily for historical interest, since the local 7-digit number is likely to have changed, irrespective of splits. Most splits prior to 1995 are no longer shown in this chart.

Only geographic splits are shown in this table, since in general overlays do not result in any change to existing telephone numbers. For a complete listing of all splits and overlays since 1995, see areacode.html and oldnews.html here on the LincMad area code site. For a brief listing of all active area codes numerically, see locator.html; for a more complete listing of the communities in each area code (alphabetically by state or province), see cities.html.


Other Notes

310: The CPUC decided to overlay 310, then they decided to split it, and now they've decided to overlay it. The overlay finally happened in 2006.

403, 819: The Yukon Territory, the Northwest Territories, and the new Nunavut territory were served by the area codes for Alberta (403) and northern Québec (819). These northern territories of Canada are now served by the 867 area code. Alberta is served by the 403 and the new 780 area code; northern Québec is still served by the 819 area code.

407 (a): The 321 area code, introduced in late 1999, is a bizarre combination of a split and overlay. All existing 407 numbers in Brevard County changed to 321.

407 (b): The DeBary rate center, including the area known as Osteen and part of the city of Deltona, will realign from 407 into the new 386 area code at the same time the 386 area splits from 904. During permissive dialing, the affected numbers may be dialed as 407 or 386, but not as 904.

513: In 1996, area code 513 split, with the Daytona metropolitan area moving to 937. The Franklin rate center realigned from 513 into 937 in order to avoid the 513/283 overlay in 2001. Then the 513/283 overlay never actually happened, and it doesn't appear likely to happen any time soon.

809: For many years, area code 809 served a total of 18 countries and territories in the Caribbean region plus nearby Bermuda in the Atlantic Ocean. As of June 1999, 809 now serves only the Dominican Republic. Each other country or territory in the former 809 area code now has its own separate area code; see caribbean.html for a complete listing.

909: The CPUC first ordered a combination split and overlay of 909, but then cancelled the plan. However, the 909/951 split was revived and implemented in 2004. The San Bernardino area kept 909 while the Riverside area changed to 951.

916: The community of Dixon, California, changed from 916 to 707. All other former 916 numbers are in either 916 or 530. Dixon was scheduled to change to 369, but the 707/369 split has been cancelled.

919: Area code 910 was created in 1993. Davidson County was added to 910 in 1996. The following year, Davidson County was part of the area that split from 910 to form area code 336.
