Area Code 364 Location

Area code 364 serves Owensboro, Kentucky, and the wider region of western Kentucky along the Ohio River. It is an overlay of long-standing area code 270, so both 270 and 364 cover the same communities. This overlay began in 2014, and local calls now require 10‑digit dialing across the region. Owensboro is a key hub on the river, known for its revitalized riverfront and music heritage.

Major cities and landmarks in the 364/270 service area include:

• Owensboro — home to the Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame & Museum and a lively riverfront.
• Bowling Green — Western Kentucky University and the National Corvette Museum.
• Paducah — at the confluence of the Ohio and Tennessee rivers.
• Hopkinsville, Henderson, Madisonville, Murray, and Elizabethtown.
• Natural highlights: Mammoth Cave National Park and Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area.

Because 364 overlays 270, existing phone numbers did not change; new lines may receive a 364 prefix. The region largely sits in the Central Time Zone, with some eastern communities in Eastern Time. Area code 364 covers both mobile and landline phone numbers, helping expand numbering capacity while keeping local calling areas intact. In Owensboro, you’ll often see 364 alongside 270 on business and personal phones.

Owensboro adds local flavor to the area code’s footprint. The city hosts the long-running International Bar-B-Q Festival and showcases Kentucky’s bluegrass roots on the riverfront. From college towns and factories to farms and forests, the 364/270 area blends industry, music, and outdoor recreation across western Kentucky.
