History of Area Code 413

Area code 413 is one of the original North American area codes created in 1947. AT&T assigned it to western Massachusetts as part of the first nationwide area code system. It has remained in use for the same general part of the state since then.

Area code 413 has not been split or overlaid by another area code. Massachusetts later added other area codes in eastern and central parts of the state, but 413 stayed intact in the west. Its long-term stability reflects slower population growth and lower telephone number demand than in Greater Boston and other denser parts of Massachusetts.
