History of 223 Area Code

223 area code was implemented on September 26, 2017. It is Pennsylvania’s 12th and was one of the 9 area codes introduced that year. Now, the state has a total of 15 area codes.

In 1947, the primary area code 717 was introduced for the eastern half of the state, excluding Delaware and Lehigh Valleys, which were served by the area code 215. After five decades, 717’s area was restructured due to the split of the 215 area code.

However, the demand for more phone numbers increased due to the overuse of telecommunication devices. So, in October 2016, the new overlay area code 223 was approved for the same geographical regions.
