History of Area Code 567

Area code 567 began service on March 1, 2002. The North American Numbering Plan added it as an overlay for area code 419. An overlay means both area codes serve the same geographic region.

Area code 419 is one of Ohio's original area codes from 1947. By the early 2000s, the supply of available 419 phone numbers was shrinking, so regulators added 567 instead of splitting the region. Because 567 overlays 419, ten-digit dialing became necessary for local calls in that service area.
