Feature Answer

What is Area Code 859?

Area code 859 is a North American telephone area code assigned to Central Kentucky, covering Lexington, Frankfort, Nicholasville. It was created in 1999 when area code 606 was split to handle growing demand. The code is local rather than toll-free, and it operates on Eastern Time.

Before 1999, Central Kentucky was part of the larger 606 footprint. As the region grew, the FCC carved out 859 to serve its own community, leaving 606 to anchor a more focused area. Today 859 is the recognized code for Central Kentucky, used across local businesses, institutions, and households.
