History of Area Code 941

Area code 941 was created on March 3, 1996. It was split from area code 813, which had covered a much larger part of west-central Florida. The split happened because the region needed more phone numbers as population and telephone use grew.

Area code 941 later lost territory when area code 863 was created on June 28, 1999. That split moved inland communities, including areas around Lakeland, out of 941. Area code 941 remains a geographic area code, and it is not an overlay.
