The area code 414 is located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Area code 414 serves Milwaukee and most of Milwaukee County in southeastern Wisconsin, along the western shore of Lake Michigan. This Milwaukee area code covers the state’s largest city, a major hub for manufacturing, finance, health care, and culture. Established in 1947 as one of the original area codes in the North American Numbering Plan, 414 once covered a much larger part of the state before splits created 608 (1955), 920 (1997), and 262 (1999). Today, 414 is closely tied to Milwaukee’s identity, home to lakefront festivals, big-league sports, and a rich brewing and industrial history.
Within the 414 phone number area, you’ll find landmark sites like the Milwaukee Art Museum, Harley‑Davidson Museum, Fiserv Forum (Milwaukee Bucks), and American Family Field (Milwaukee Brewers). The area code also includes historic neighborhoods and near‑lakefront suburbs, reflecting Milwaukee’s blend of architecture, industry, and parks. An interesting fact: in 1983, a group of Milwaukee teens called “The 414s” drew national attention for early computer hacking, taking their name from this area code. Local time for 414 numbers follows Central Time (CT).
