Some background on Louisiana and its area codes

Louisiana's telecommunication landscape is defined by several area codes, starting with 504, introduced in 1947 as one of the original North American area codes. Initially covering the entire state, 504 now serves the Greater New Orleans area, including Orleans, St. Bernard, and parts of Jefferson Parish, reflecting regional growth and demand.

In 1998, area code 225 was introduced to accommodate the Baton Rouge region, emerging from a split of the 504 area code. This partition was necessitated by increasing telecommunication needs, reflecting the state's expanding population and technological advancement. Area code 225 now covers Ascension, East Baton Rouge, and Livingston parishes, among others.

The area code 318 was also introduced in 1957, covering northern and central Louisiana, including Shreveport, Monroe, and Alexandria. Subsequent overlays and splits led to the creation of area code 337 in 1999, serving southwestern Louisiana. This reconfiguration highlights the state's adaptive telecommunication strategies to meet diverse and growing needs.
