History of Area Code 913

Area code 913 is one of the original North American area codes created in 1947. It originally covered the entire state of Kansas. As telephone use grew across the state, Kansas needed more than one area code.

In 1997, Kansas split area code 913, and most of the western and southern parts of the state moved to area code 785. After that split, 913 remained in the Kansas City area in northeastern Kansas. In 2001, area code 620 was created in another Kansas split, but that change did not alter the 913 region.
