Area codes 919 and 984

Area codes 919 and 984 are telephone area codes in the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) for all or parts of eleven counties in the east-central area of the U.S. state of North Carolina. They service the cities of Raleigh, Durham, Cary, and Chapel Hill/Carrboro, and the surrounding suburban areas of the Research Triangle metropolitan area, as well as the outlying towns and nearby rural areas of Oxford to the north, Sanford to the south, Goldsboro to the southeast, and Mebane to the west.

Area code 919 was created in 1954 in a split of numbering plan area 704, the original area code serving the entire state. After successive splits in the 1990s, the final numbering plan area received a second area code, 984, in 2012 to form an overlay complex.
