About the 814 region
814 covers Erie in Pennsylvania, including State College, Altoona, Clearfield, Emporium and Johnsonburg. The code has been in service since 1947 and is one of the original North American area codes.
As the Erie region grew, 814 ran low on available numbers, so 582 was added as an overlay code over the same geographic area. Both codes are local to each other and 10-digit dialing applies throughout.
