01 — Kentucky at a Glance

Kentucky, by the numbers.

Kentucky got one area code, 502, in 1947. The first split came in 1954, when 606 broke off for eastern Kentucky, including Ashland and the mountains.

In 1999, 859 split from 606 for Lexington and the Bluegrass region, and 270 split from 502 for western Kentucky — Bowling Green, Owensboro, Paducah.

Western Kentucky got Kentucky's first overlay, 364, in 2014, layered on 270 instead of another split. That gives the state five area codes today.

Did you know?

Kentucky is one of the few states where two separate area code splits — 859 from 606 and 270 from 502 — happened in the very same year, 1999.
