 Area code 305 was the single original area code for the entire state of Florida, and still currently serves all of Miami-Dade County and the part of Monroe County that is in the Florida Keys. The area code is overlaid by area code 786, originally only in Miami-Dade County and not in the Keys portion of Monroe County (but that was changed in 2008); the mainland portion of Monroe County is served by area code 239.[1] The western part of the peninsula from the Tampa Bay area south, which was served by non-Bell System telephone companies, was separated into area code 813 in 1953.[2] As a result of the increase in the state's population, Northern Florida, from the Panhandle to Jacksonville, was assigned area code 904 in 1965, effective Sunday, July 11, 1965 as a flash-cut, with no formal permissive dialing period.[3] This lasted until 1988 when the east coast of Florida from Palm Beach County north through Brevard County, as well as the Orlando metropolitan area was assigned area code 407.[4] In 1995 Broward County was split from 305 and assigned area code 954.[1] In 1998 area code 786 was assigned to relieve the large demand for phone lines in the Miami area.[1] The area code 305 is synonymous with "Miami" for many, and as such, is a commonly used nickname for Miami.
