01 — Illinois at a Glance

Illinois, by the numbers.

Illinois launched in 1947 with four codes: 312 (Chicago), 815 (north), 217 (central), and 618 (south). Peoria's 309 split from 815 in 1957.

Chicago's suburbs split off as 708 in 1989, then 847 and 630 in the mid-1990s. 773 took the city outside downtown, leaving 312 just the Loop.

By the 2000s, overlays took over: 224 over 847, 331 over 630, then 779 over 815 and 872 over 312/773 in 2009 — Illinois's current 13-code lineup.

Did you know?

Area code 872, activated in November 2009, was Illinois's way of adding numbers to Chicago without redrawing any boundaries — it simply shares the exact same footprint as 312 and 773.
