Feature Answer

What is Area Code 213?

Area code 213 is a North American telephone area code assigned to central Los Angeles, California. First assigned in 1947 as one of the original 86 area codes in the North American Numbering Plan, 213 is among the oldest area codes in the country. It now serves downtown LA, Hollywood, Koreatown, Westlake, and adjacent neighborhoods, and is a local (non-toll-free) area code in the Pacific Time Zone.

213 originally covered nearly all of Southern California, including most of greater Los Angeles. Successive splits — 818 (1984), 310 (1991), 562 (1997), 626 (1998) — reduced its footprint, and in 1998 the 323 overlay was added when 213 was carved down to just central LA. Despite the overlay, a 213 number remains a heritage signal — strongly associated with downtown LA, Hollywood studios, and the entertainment industry.
