History of Area Code 682
Area code 682 entered service on November 1, 2000, as an overlay for area code 817. The overlay added a second area code to the same geographic region, so customers with existing 817 numbers did not need to change their numbers.
The 817 region had already experienced a split on May 25, 1997, when area code 254 was created for Waco, Killeen, Temple, and nearby communities. Continued demand for telephone numbers in the Fort Worth-Arlington region led to the 682 overlay. The overlay also made ten-digit dialing necessary for local calls in the affected area.
