The telephoneareacode 773 was formed in the city of Chicago, Illinois, USA in 1996.
The entire city of Chicago—and all of Chicagoland—were originally areacode 312, but eventually the city itself was split between 312 in the Downtown/Loop and surrounding areas, and 773, comprising the vast physical majority of the city and all outlying areas within city limits.
The areacode has also been popularized by a series of t-shirts with the slogan "773 FOREVER", a reflection of residents' strong sense of pride and attachment to the area and their identification with urban living over the suburbs.
