History & Cultural Notes
Ranching, oil and gas, and a pair of Air Force bases anchor the economy served by area code 325 across west-central Texas. The code arrived on April 5, 2003, when the sprawling original area code 915 was divided three ways: El Paso kept 915, the Permian Basin around Midland-Odessa took 432, and the Big Country and Concho Valley region centered on Abilene and San Angelo received the new code.
- Ranching and agriculture
- Oil and gas
- Military installations, including Dyess Air Force Base and Goodfellow Air Force Base
- Healthcare
- Renewable energy, particularly wind power
Beyond Abilene and San Angelo, the territory extends to Brownwood, Sweetwater, and Snyder, communities that share the region's frontier heritage; San Angelo's Fort Concho, a former U.S. Army post, still reflects that 19th-century Western history even as wind farms and defense installations shape the modern economy. Together, ranching, energy, and military spending give the 325 numbering area an economic base that looks quite different from Texas's larger coastal metros.
