The area code 385 is located in Ogden, Utah.
Area code 385 serves Ogden, Utah, and the broader Wasatch Front as an overlay to long‑standing area code 801. This overlay means both 385 and 801 cover the same region, including major population centers in northern and central Utah. It was introduced in 2008 to meet growing demand for new phone numbers, and the region observes Mountain Time (MST/MDT). Ogden’s location at the north end of the Wasatch Front makes it a key gateway to outdoor recreation, the Great Salt Lake, and the Wasatch Mountains.

In and around Ogden, area code 385 reaches landmarks like Ogden’s Union Station, Weber State University, and nearby Hill Air Force Base. The overlay keeps communities connected without changing existing 801 numbers, while new phone numbers may be assigned with 385. The region’s phone network supports a busy economy tied to aerospace, outdoor gear, education, and logistics, reflecting Ogden’s history as a major railroad hub. Nearby, Golden Spike National Historical Park marks the completion of the transcontinental railroad, highlighting the area’s long role in western transportation.
For users, the most important detail is dialing: 10‑digit dialing is required for local calls within the 801/385 area. Because 385 overlays 801, two people in the same neighborhood can have different area codes, and both are considered local for routing within the region. The 385/801 complex covers Utah’s urban heart from Weber and Davis counties through Salt Lake County into Utah County, often called the Wasatch Front. If you see a 385 phone number from Ogden, it’s part of this shared, high‑growth numbering plan that keeps the region reachable and ready for expansion.
