History of Area Code 407

Area code 407 was created in 1988 as a split from area code 305. The split happened as central Florida grew and needed more telephone numbers. At the time, 305 had covered a much larger part of Florida.

Area code 407 later changed as demand kept rising. In 1995, area code 407 was split to create area code 561. In 1999, another split created area code 321 for Brevard County, while 321 also began service as an overlay in the Orlando area. In 2019, area code 689 was added as an overlay to the same region, which made 10-digit dialing necessary for local calls.
