Background
When the first area code plan was introduced in 1947, the state was given area codes 216, 419, 513, and 614. In 1996, 330 and 937 were added as splits. In 1998, 440 and 740 were added as splits. Most recently, in 2000, 234 and 567 were added as overlays. There are currently ten area codes serving Ohio.
An eleventh area code, 380, will cover the Columbus/Central Ohio area. [1] A twelfth area code, 283, will cover the Cincinnati region when 513 is depleted. [2]
