771 Area Code History

In 1947, 202 covered all of Washington, DC, as well as a portion of Maryland and Virginia. As the population of these regions grew, 771 was created as an overlay to address the inadequacy of available numbers in the 202 area code.

Area code 771 was implemented on November 9, 2021, as the 426th area code in service. It is the second area code in this territory and one of the 11 introduced that year.

Before 1992, there was no concept of serving the same regions and each area code served specific geographical areas.

For now, the 771 has addressed the immediate need for numbers, and current forecasts suggest that the 202/771 area code will have enough numbers available until 2054.
