About the 614 region
614 covers Columbus in Ohio, including Franklin County. The code has been in service since 1947 and is one of the original North American area codes.
As the Columbus region grew, 614 ran low on available numbers, so 380 was added as an overlay code over the same geographic area. Both codes are local to each other and 10-digit dialing applies throughout.
1997: split to create 740; 2016: overlaid by 380.
