About the 405 region
405 covers Oklahoma City in Oklahoma, including Stillwater, Edmond, Norman and Shawnee. The code has been in service since 1947 and is one of the original North American area codes.
As the Oklahoma City region grew, 405 ran low on available numbers, so 572 was added as an overlay code over the same geographic area. Both codes are local to each other and 10-digit dialing applies throughout.
Created for all of Oklahoma; 1953: split to create 918; 1997: split to create 580; 2021: overlaid by 572.
