Area code 305 was originally the default area code for the entire state of Florida. The western part of the peninsula from the Tampa Bay area south, which was served by non-Bell System telephone companies, was separated into area code 813 in 1953.

This lasted until 1988 when the east coast of Florida from Palm Beach County north through Brevard County, as well as the Orlando metropolitan area was assigned area code 407.
