817 Area Code
Area code 817 is a well-known area code serving several cities in Texas, including Arlington, Bedford, Euless, Hurst, North Richland Hills, and others. This code is used in the Tarrant County region and is known for being the first area code assigned to the region.
Area code 817 was created in 1953 as part of the North American Numbering Plan, which was established to standardize telephone number assignments across the United States and Canada. The area code was originally intended to cover the northern part of Texas, but as the population grew, it was split to accommodate the growing number of phone numbers needed.
Today, area code 817 covers a large geographic area, including parts of the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area. It is used for both landline and mobile phone numbers, with a variety of phone carriers offering services in the area.
