Until some time in the 1980's, all of Los Angeles was area code 213. Area code 818 split off, with the area that is now 818, 747, and 626. Then area code 310 split off, with the area that is now area codes 310, 424, and 562.

When area codes were originally assigned in 1947, area code 213 included not only all of Los Angeles, but also Bakersfield, San Diego, San Luis Obispo, Palm Springs, and about the southern 1/3 of California.
