1947
414 first assigned
414 came first, in 1947
414 was Wisconsin's original area code, assigned in 1947. The newest, 534, arrived in 2010. Each of the 6 codes below maps to its own part of the state, so the code you pick shows which region you serve.
01 — Wisconsin at a Glance
Wisconsin, by the numbers.
Wisconsin entered the 1947 numbering plan with two area codes: 414 for Milwaukee and the southeast, and 715 for the northern half of the state.
As Madison grew, 608 split off from 414 in 1955 to cover southwestern Wisconsin.
920 split off in 1997 for eastern Wisconsin — Green Bay, the Fox Cities, the Lake Michigan shore. In 1999, 262 split off for the Milwaukee suburbs (Waukesha, Racine, Kenosha), leaving 414 just Milwaukee County.
By the late 2000s, northern Wisconsin's 715 territory was running low on numbers, mostly from cell phones, so 534 overlaid it in 2010.
Did you know?
Wisconsin got two original area codes in 1947, 414 and 715, and 715's territory in the north is so large that it eventually needed its own overlay, 534, decades later.
