Area codes in CT. This is a list of area codes in Connecticut: [1] 203: Covering southwestern Connecticut (Fairfield County (except for Sherman); New Haven County, and the towns of Bethlehem, Woodbury, as well as a small part of Roxbury in Litchfield County); one of the original area codes enacted in 1947; 475: Overlay of 203 (December 2009)

Numbering plan areas and area codes since May 2001 September 1997 [1] – May 2001 [2] July 1988 [3] – September 1997 [4] [5] October 1947 – July 1988 [6]. Massachusetts is divided into five distinct numbering plan areas (NPAs), which are served by nine area codes in the North American Numbering Plan (NANP), [7] organized as four overlay complexes and a single-area code NPA.
Each NPA was identified by a three-digit area code used as a prefix to each local telephone number. The United States received seventy-seven area codes, and Canada nine. The initial system of numbering plan areas and area codes was expanded rapidly during the ensuing decades, and established the North American Numbering Plan (NANP).
Area code 860 was created on August 28, 1995, as a numbering plan area split from area code 203, in which the latter was reduced to Fairfield County (except for Sherman) and New Haven County, plus part of Litchfield County (Bethlehem, Woodbury, and a small part of Roxbury). Dialing of area code 860 became mandatory on October 4, 1996.
