Area code 201 was rolled out in 1951 as the first area code to be assigned in the United States as part of the North American Numbering Plan, covering the entire state of New Jersey with a single area code.[3][4] Until 1963, 201 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.[5] Map of area code 201 201 is the area code for Hudson and Bergen Counties (and part of Essex and Passaic Counties) in New Jersey. ...

With the increasing demand for phone numbers needed for businesses, fax machines, beepers and cell phones, the 609 area code rapidly exhausted its capacity.[6] The 856 area code was announced by bell Atlantic in March 1999 and approved by the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities shortly thereafter. The new area code 856 came into effect on June 12, 1999. For the following five months, permissive dialing was allowed, with calls completed even if area code 856 was not dialed as part of a 10-digit phone number. As of November 13, 1999, use of the area code was required to complete calls.[2] Categories: Corporation stubs | Communications companies of the United States | Defunct companies | Telephone companies | Public Utilities ...
