The area code system for the United States and Canada was developed in 1947 at Bell Labs in New Jersey. New area codes are assigned by the North American Numbering Plan Administrator, located in Northern Virginia, just outside Washington, D.C.

The area code system for the United Kingdom was developed in 1958 by the Post Office, which at that time also ran the telephone system. New area codes are assigned by OFCOM, the independent regulatory authority for telecommunications.

Other countries developed their area code systems at various dates.

International country codes are assigned by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) in Geneva, Switzerland.
