It serves New Orleans, Metairie, Kenner, Belle Chasse, and the rest of Orleans, Jefferson, Plaquemines, and St. Bernard parishes, and is a local (non-toll-free) area code in the Central Time Zone.
504 originally covered all of Louisiana. The 1957 split (318) carved out the rest of the state, leaving 504 with the southern parishes. The 2001 split (985) further reduced 504 to just Greater New Orleans, with 985 covering the suburban and rural areas to the north and west. Unlike most major-metro 1947 codes, 504 has not yet been overlaid — making it one of the few preserved single-code metros in the country. A 504 number is still tightly identified with New Orleans culture and remains a powerful local signal.
