History & Cultural Notes
Columbus, home to Ohio State University, one of the largest university campuses in the United States, sits at the center of the numbering territory shared by area codes 614 and 380. The 380 code is an all-services overlay approved by the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio in 2015 and placed into service on February 27, 2016, to relieve exhaustion of the original 614 code. Its arrival made ten-digit local dialing mandatory across the region.
Beyond Columbus itself, the numbering plan area extends to the surrounding suburbs of Dublin, Westerville, Pickerington, Grove City, and Hilliard. Franklin County, the core of this territory, had a population of 1,323,807 according to the 2020 U.S. Census, with the numbering plan area also reaching into fringes of neighboring counties.
The local economy draws on several established sectors: insurance and financial services, retail and fashion companies headquartered in the area, higher education, logistics and distribution, and technology. Together they give central Ohio a diversified base built around both the corporate presence in Columbus and the institutional weight of its flagship university.
