History of Area Code 931

Area code 931 was created on September 15, 1997. It was split from area code 615, which had served a much larger part of Middle Tennessee before the split.

The split happened because the region needed more phone numbers as service grew. Area code 615 kept Nashville and nearby communities, while 931 took over many areas outside Nashville, including Clarksville and a broad section of Middle Tennessee. Area code 931 is still used as a standalone geographic code and is not an overlay.
