History & Cultural Notes

Southwestern Missouri's area code is perhaps best known beyond Springfield for Branson, a major live-music and family-entertainment tourism destination within the region, and for Bass Pro Shops, the outdoor-retail chain that was founded in Springfield and remains headquartered there. Several sectors together shape the region's economy, from healthcare and manufacturing to tourism and outdoor recreation:

  • Healthcare
  • Tourism and entertainment
  • Retail and outdoor recreation
  • Manufacturing
  • Agriculture

Area code 417 was split off from area code 816 back in 1950, when Missouri's numbering plan was subdivided into regional service territories, and unlike many neighboring codes it has never been split or overlaid since. The most significant recent change came in 2021, when mandatory 10-digit local dialing took effect across the region, first permissively that April and then mandatorily by October, freeing up the 988 central-office code nationwide for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. Beyond Springfield itself, the 417 territory also reaches Joplin, Branson, Carthage, Neosho, and Nixa.
