Area code 260

Area code 260

Area code 260 is a North American Numbering Plan area code for Northeast Indiana. Cities served include Fort Wayne, New Haven, Huntington, Bluffton, Columbia City, Decatur, Angola, Auburn and Wabash.

History

Eventual depletion of numbers in area code 219 by the end of the 20th century prompted a three-way split of the area code. As the result of a random drawing, Northwest Indiana retained 219, 574 was assigned to the north-central area (South Bend), and Northeast Indiana received 260. The area codes split on January 15, 2002, with mandatory dialing taking effect five months later on June 14, 2002. [http://www.sbc.com/gen/general?pid=1718&phase=check SBC information.
