1947
316 first assigned
316 came first, in 1947
316 was Kansas's original area code, assigned in 1947. The newest, 620, arrived in 2001. Each of the 4 codes below maps to its own part of the state, so the code you pick shows which region you serve.
01 — Kansas at a Glance
Kansas, by the numbers.
Kansas began the 1947 plan with two codes: 316 for the southern half, including Wichita, and 913 for the north, covering Topeka, Lawrence, and Kansas City. That map lasted 50 years.
In 1997, 785 split off from 913, taking most of the north and central state, shrinking 913 to the Kansas City metro.
In 2001, the south split too: 620 took over southern Kansas outside Wichita, which kept 316.
Today four area codes cover four distinct quadrants of the state, with no overlays.
Did you know?
After twice giving up territory — first indirectly through 785's creation and again through 620 — area code 913 today covers only the Kansas City metro area, a small fraction of the northern half it originally served in 1947.
