About the 937 region
937 covers Dayton in Ohio, including Springfield. The code has been in service since 1996.
As the Dayton region grew, 937 ran low on available numbers, so 326 was added as an overlay code over the same geographic area. Both codes are local to each other and 10-digit dialing applies throughout.
