It was created in 1955 as a split from area code 414, and was the third area code created in Wisconsin. Rapid growth of the area (specifically in Dane County) has brought the 608 area code close to exhaustion with most recent projections from NANPA projecting the need for an overlay code by late 2023. In September 2022 the Wisconsin Public Service Commission announced the 608 area code will be overlaid with new area code 353.https://www.channel3000.com/new-353-area-code-to-launch-in-south-central-southwestern-wisconsin-in-late-2023/ Counties served by this area code: Ten-digit dialing Prior to October 2021, area code 608 had telephone n ...

Geographic Names Information System
The Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) is a database of name and locative information about more than two million physical and cultural features throughout the United States and its territories, Antarctica, and the associated states of the Marshall Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, and Palau. It is a type of gazetteer. It was developed by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the United States Board on Geographic Names (BGN) to promote the standardization of feature names. Data were collected in two phases. Although a third phase was considered, which would have handled name changes where local usages differed from maps, it was never begun. The database is part of a system that includes topographic map names and bibliographic references. The names of books and historic maps that confirm the feature or place name are cited. Variant names, alternatives to official federal names for a feature, are also recorded. Each feature receives ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
