Where Is Area Code 810?

Area code 810 is in eastern Michigan and serves Flint and surrounding parts of the Thumb and southeastern part of the state. It is a geographic area code in the North American Numbering Plan. The code is closely tied to Genesee County, where Flint is the largest city.

Area code 810 serves communities such as Flint, Port Huron, Lapeer, and parts of the surrounding region. It covers all or part of Genesee, St. Clair, Lapeer, Sanilac, and Tuscola counties. Other communities in the 810 region include Grand Blanc, Burton, Fenton, Marysville, and St. Clair.

The area includes the Flint River in Genesee County and the St. Clair River along the Michigan-Canada border.

History of Area Code 810

Area code 810 was created on December 1, 1993, in a split from area code 313. The split happened as southeastern Michigan needed more telephone numbers. Flint, Port Huron, and nearby communities moved into the new 810 area code at that time.

Area code 810 later lost territory in another split. On May 5, 2001, area code 586 was created from the southern part of 810, including much of Macomb County. Today, 810 remains a split area code, not an overlay, and it continues to serve Flint and nearby eastern Michigan communities.
