Currently, the “626 area code” serves portions of Southern California’s Los Angeles County and is a ‘telephone area code.’ After being separated from the ‘818 area code’ in 1997, the ‘626 area code’ was established as California’s 16th area code. After being physically divided from the “213 area code” (one of the three original area codes given to California in 1948), the ‘818 area code’ was put into use in 1984.
