History of Area Code 714

Area code 714 was created in 1951 as a split from area code 213. At that time, 213 had covered a much larger part of Southern California, and growing telephone demand led to the split. Over time, 714 once covered a broader section of southeastern California than it does today.

Area code 714 changed several times as Southern California grew. Area code 909 split from 714 in 1992, and area code 949 split from 714 in 1998. In 2008, area code 657 began overlaying the same Orange County service area as 714, which means both codes now serve the same region.
