215 originally covered most of eastern Pennsylvania. Splits in 1957 (717) and 1994 (610 for the western suburbs) reduced its territory. Overlay 267 was added in 1997, and 445 in 2018 — making 215 part of a three-code overlay complex (215/267/445). Despite the overlays, a 215 number remains the heritage signal for established Philadelphia businesses, law firms, and the city's many universities and hospitals.
