The 201 area code was the first area code to be assigned in the United States; this took place in 1951. Until 1963, it was the only area code serving New Jersey. That year, the state split the area code, with the southern portion of the state becoming area code 609. 1951 (MCMLI) was a common year starting on Monday; see its calendar. ... 1963 (MCMLXIII) was a common year starting on Tuesday (link will take you to calendar). ...


Area code 201 served the northern, most populous counties in the state: Essex, Bergen, Hudson, Union, Morris, Passaic, Middlesex, Warren, and Sussex counties. New Jersey's southern counties, including the Jersey Shore, as well as the Philadelphia and Wilmington, Delaware suburbs (in New Jersey) were served by 609.

As the shore region of New Jersey grew during the 1980s, the northeastern section of the state lost sizeable chunks of its population due to the decline of New Jersey's major cities, including Newark, Paterson, Clifton, and Elizabeth. In 1991, area code 908 split off from 201; it primarily serves the shore and central regions of the state, such as Elizabeth. (However, this geographic area code split effectively cut 11 New Jersey towns in half, with one-half having the old area code and the other half having the new.) The northernmost counties continued to use 201, while the southern New Jersey Pine Barrens area kept 609, which is the area code of Trenton, the state's capital.

During the mid 1990s, businesses began to flourish once again in the northern region of New Jersey, while cell phones and internet dial-up connections proliferated. In response to the pressure for the addition of more telephone numbers, New Jersey added more area codes, going from three to six. In 1997, Essex and Passaic Counties, home to Newark and Paterson respectively (the state's first and third-largest cities), as well as the more rural northwestern counties of New Jersey, Warren and Sussex, were broken away from area code 201, forming the new area code, 973. Hudson County and Bergen County, the state's two northeastern counties (as well as being two of the state's most densely populated counties) and the closest two counties to New York City, became the last remaining counties in the state to be served by area code 201.

As Hudson and Bergen Counties developed further, and even more telephone numbers were demanded, it was debated whether 201 should split again, or if an overlay area code should be added instead. The latter option was chosen, to avoid the costs and frustration associated with splitting an area code. However, with the implementation of the overlay area code, 10-digit dialing became mandatory. Area code 551 was created in 2001, along with area codes 862 and 848 which overlay area codes 973 and 732 respectively. (Redirected from 10 digit dialing) In the United States and Canada, 10-digit dialing is a popular term used to refer to the practice of including the area code of a phone number when dialing. ... 2001: A Space Odyssey. ...

The 201 area code was the first area code to be assigned in the United States; while it was part of the original set of area codes assigned to the U.S. in 1947, this area code was not placed into service until 1951.
Area code 551 was created in 2001, along with area codes 862 and 848 which overlay area codes 973 and 732 respectively.
Area code 212 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (292 words)
Area code 212 is a New York City telephone area code.
New York City was originally given area code 212 back when area codes were assigned in 1947 as it is the fastest area code that could be dialed with a rotary dial given the numbering plan constraints that 1 was not allowed as the first digit, and area codes could not end with 11.
The 212 area code is arguably one of the most-recognized American area codes.
