History

In the preliminary model of the North American Numbering Plan, Massachusetts was allotted two area codes, the only state in

Pennsylvania Pennsylvania (; (Pennsylvania Dutch: )), officially the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, is a state spanning the Mid-Atlantic, Northeastern, Appalachian, and Great Lakes regions of the United States. It borders Delaware to its southeast, Ma ...

. When the area code map was finalized, Massachusetts remained split between two numbering plan areas. However, the eastern two-thirds of the state (including

Boston Boston (), officially the City of Boston, is the capital city, state capital and List of municipalities in Massachusetts, most populous city of the Commonwealth (U.S. state), Commonwealth of Massachusetts, as well as the cultural and financ ...

and Worcester) was assigned 617, with 413 in the west. Because of the low population density of western Massachusetts, 413 remained in its original configuration even as the eastern portion of the state went from one area code to four from 1988 to 1997. As a result, 413 is the only original numbering plan area of Massachusetts that still maintains its original boundaries, and is one of the few original area codes (not counting those that cover an entire state) that has never been split or overlaid despite the proliferation of cell phones and pagers, particularly in and around Springfield. The projected exhaust date for 413 is 2041.https://www.nationalnanpa.com/reports/2021-1NPAExhaustProjectionsFinal.pdf
