Yes, rotary phones had area codes, beginning in the US and Canada in 1947. In fact, the pattern of area code assignments took into account the time it would take to dial that number on a rotary phone. For example, large cities like New York City, Los Angeles, and Chicago had area codes 212, 213, and 312, respectively. If you add up the number of "clicks" on a rotary dial for those numbers, it's 5, 6, and 6. At the opposite extreme, South Dakota's area code 605 adds up to 21. (The 0 on a rotary dial is 10 clicks.) Places that had a lot of telephone traffic had numbers with lower total clicks.
