Until 1997, all of Arkansas was area code 501. In 1997, 870 split from 501, serving a broad swath including Pine Bluff, Texarkana, West Memphis, Jonesboro, Batesville, Harrison, and Arkadelphia.

In 2002, area code 479 split from 501, serving northwestern Arkansas, including Fort Smith and Fayetteville.

Area code 327 was announced as an overlay for 870, but it has been postponed indefinitely, probably to around 2018.
