List Of Capitals In The United States
This is a list of capital cities of the United States, including places that serve or have served as federal, state, insular area, territorial, colonial and Native American capitals.

Most states have not changed their capital city since becoming a state, but the capital cities of their respective preceding colonies, territories, kingdoms, and republics typically changed multiple times. There have also been other governments within the current borders of the United States with their own capitals, such as the Republic of Texas, Native American nations and other unrecognized governments.

List Of Metropolitan Statistical Areas
In the United States, a metropolitan statistical area (MSA) is a geographical region with a relatively high population density at its core and close economic ties throughout the area. Such regions are neither legally incorporated as a city or town would be, nor are they legal administrative divisions like counties or separate entities such as states; because of this, the precise definition of any given metropolitan area can vary with the source. The statistical criteria for a standard metropolitan area were defined in 1949 and redefined as metropolitan statistical area in 1983. A typical metropolitan area is centered on a single large city that wields substantial influence over the region (e.g., New York City or Chicago). However, some metropolitan areas contain more than one large city with no single municipality holding a substantially dominant position (e.g., Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex, Virginia Beach–Norfolk–Newport News (Hampton Roads), Riverside–San Be ...

Area Code 623
North American area code 623 is a state of Arizona telephone area code serving most of the western portion of the Phoenix metropolitan area. It was created in a split from area code 602 on March 1, 1999, when it was evident that the Valley of the Sun was expanding too rapidly to remain in one area code. Generally, the West Valley and the outer northwestern suburbs became 623, the eastern suburbs and the Phoenix neighborhood of Ahwatukee became area code 480, and inner Phoenix remained in 602. Although most of the state outside the Valley had been split off as area code 520 in 1995, the Valley's continued explosive growth and the proliferation of cell phones and pagers brought 602 to the brink of exhaustion far sooner than expected. In November 1998, the Arizona Corporation Commission decided to overlay the Valley with a second area code, 480. However, overlays were still a new concept at the time, and met with resistance due to the need for ten-digit dialing. The outcry led the ...

Area Code 602
North American area code 602 is a state of Arizona telephone area code that covers most of the city of Phoenix. Originally established as Arizona's only area code, splits in 1995 and 1999 cleaved off numbers outside of metropolitan Phoenix (now in area codes 520 and 928) and the eastern and western portions of the metropolitan area (creating area codes 480 and 623, respectively). In 2023, 480 and 623 are scheduled to be turned into overlay area codes for most of metropolitan Phoenix, effectively reversing the 1999 split. This will result in the implementation of mandatory 10-digit dialing in the current 602 and 623 areas. History Early history and split of 520 602 is one of the original area codes established in October 1947 and originally covered the entire state of Arizona. By the late 1980s, Arizona's explosive population growth in the second half of the 20th century made it apparent that the state needed to at least consider the feasibility of a second area code.

Area Code 480
North American area code 480 is a telephone area code in Arizona serving the eastern and northern portions of the Phoenix metropolitan area. It was created on March 1, 1999, in a three-way split of area code 602, when it was apparent that the Valley of the Sun was growing too fast for it to remain entirely in one area code. Generally, 480 is coextensive with the East Valley, while most of the West Valley is area code 623 and most of Phoenix itself remained in 602. By the turn of the millennium, 602 was running out of numbers just four years after all of the state outside of the Valley of the Sun was split off as area code 520. Original plans called for 480 to be an overlay code for the entire Phoenix metro area. However, overlays were a new concept at the time, and met with considerable resistance due to potential geographic ambiguity, as well as the requirement for ten-digit dialing. A three-way geographic split was chosen instead, with 480 assigned to the East Valley. The 48 ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |
