The area code 810 is located in Flint, Michigan.
Area code 810 serves Flint, Michigan, and much of east‑central Michigan, connecting communities from the Flint River to the Blue Water coastline on Lake Huron. Centered on Genesee County, it reaches east toward Port Huron, a key border crossing to Canada, and covers nearby towns known for manufacturing, healthcare, and education. This code is often linked with Flint’s auto heritage, the University of Michigan–Flint, and cultural spots like the Flint Institute of Arts, making it a vital hub for regional calls and local businesses.
Major cities and landmarks in 810 include:
Established in 1993 after a split from area code 313, 810 later shed territory when 248 (1997) and 586 (2001) were created for suburban Detroit. Today, 810 focuses on Flint and nearby communities, providing phone numbers for homes, schools, hospitals, and manufacturers across the region. Many locals casually call the region “the 810,” reflecting how closely the area code ties to community identity.
You’ll find 810 along major routes like I‑69 and I‑75, with quick access to outdoor spots, riverfront parks, and Great Lakes shipping corridors. Port Huron’s international crossing and Flint’s role in American auto history give the area code both local and cross‑border importance. “Area code 810 was created in 1993 from area code 313.” — North American Numbering Plan Administration (NANPA)
