History & Geography of Area Code 212

Area code 212 was one of the original 86 North American area codes implemented in October 1947, originally serving all five boroughs of New York City. In 1984, the creation of area code 718 split Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island off from 212—leaving Manhattan and the Bronx with the iconic 212 prefix. Subsequent overlays 917 (1992), 646 (1999), and 332 (2017) ensured a steady supply of Manhattan numbers without changing the beloved 212 designation AllAreaCodes Wikipedia

Today, 212 remains synonymous with Manhattan prestige—from Wall Street to Broadway—while its overlay area codes share the same geographic footprint. Whether you live in Harlem, Chelsea, or the Financial District, a 212 number instantly signals “old New York” authenticity Untapped Cities
