Best Answer

In the original area code system introduced in 1947, area code 214 included Dallas, Ft. Worth, Texarkana, Tyler, and Waco.

From 1953 until 1996, 214 continued to serve Dallas and the inner suburbs. Then 972 was created as a split, with 214 serving downtown Dallas and 972 serving the suburbs. In 1999, the split was erased and turned into an overlay.
