History of the 329 Area Code
The 329 area code is a relatively new addition to New York’s telephone system, introduced as an overlay to the long-standing 845 area code. Approved by the New York Public Service Commission, it was implemented to address the growing demand for phone numbers in the Hudson Valley region, which includes counties such as Rockland, Orange, Dutchess, Ulster, and Putnam. Rather than splitting the geographic area, the overlay allowed existing 845 numbers to remain unchanged while new numbers could be assigned the 329 code. This change also required 10-digit dialing for all local calls within the region.
Dialing Guidelines
Local Calls
Dial the full 10-digit number (329-XXX-XXXX)
Long-Distance Calls
Dial 1 + 329 + 7-digit number
International
Dial +1 (329) XXX-XXXX from outside the U.S.
