Some background on Massachusetts and its area codes

Massachusetts is served by several area codes, with the most prominent being 617, which was one of the original area codes established in 1947. This area code primarily covers Boston and its immediate surroundings. As the demand for phone numbers increased, 857 was introduced in 2001 as an overlay to 617.

The western part of Massachusetts is covered by area code 413, which was also part of the original North American Numbering Plan. It encompasses cities like Springfield and Pittsfield. In contrast, area code 508 was introduced in 1988 to serve southeastern parts, including Worcester, and was later overlaid with 774 in 2001.

The area codes in Massachusetts have evolved to accommodate growing telecommunication needs. For instance, 978 was split from 508 in 1997 to serve northeastern regions, including Lowell and Fitchburg, with 351 introduced as an overlay in 2001. These changes illustrate the state's dynamic adaptation to technological and demographic shifts.
