These old exchange names are remembered in Glenn Miller’s song PEnnsylvania 6-5000 and Elizabeth Taylor’s movie BUtterfield-8.

Can a Volcanic Eruption Occur in Los Angeles?.

Something tells me that just isn’t going to happen with 424 - wherever it is. In Vermont and Hawaii, the locals love hoodies and caps printed with the states’ only area codes, 802 and 808, like they were graduates of some area-code college. More sparsely populated states were assigned higher numbers. Big cities - Manhattan, Los Angeles, Chicago - got low-digit area codes that were faster to dial, 212, 213, 312.

So the lower the digits in a phone number, the less time it took for the dial to spin back so you could dial the next. Description: This map shows area codes of California. The answer is the word “dial.” We’ve ditched the dial for the keypad, but in 1947, the area code’s launch year, “cht-cht-cht” was the sound of the rotary dial spinning back into place. Who dealt these area codes in the first place? Why did Vermont get 802 and Southern California 213? You sure don’t see that in Paris (France). Oil wells are everywhere in and around L.A.

Gratifyingly, the numerologist found Manhattan’s coveted 212 represented “a certain pettiness … the Ross Perot of area codes.” Exhibit A: the “Seinfeld” episode where Elaine is so desperate to recover her lost 212 phone self that she takes over the 212 number of her dead neighbor.

Since the “big bang” from the original 213 spalled off so many area codes, what have those identities become? In 1994, the writer of a Times op-ed explained, perhaps tongue in cheek, what a numerologist had told him: That 213, the original hardcore heart of L.A., is the area code of the working class, “without pretensions.” How could the numerologist omit the fact that 213 is also the area code for civic Los Angeles, which is almost exclusively about political pretensions? The telephones of 310 occupy a more “highbrow, ritualized, sterile environment,” and the phone folks of 818 - reaching from valley to valley then, the San Fernando to the San Gabriel - are “old-fashioned stand-up values” incarnate.
