History of the 305 Area Code

Introduced in 1947, 305 was one of the first area codes in the North American Numbering Plan and originally covered the entire state of Florida. As the state’s population grew, new area codes like 407, 954, and 786 were introduced. Today, 305 is tightly associated with Miami culture, and its popularity led to overlays 786 (1998) and 645 (2023). The region uses 10-digit dialing for all calls.
