Area code 310 covers the western and coastal parts of Los Angeles County, including cities like Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, Malibu, and Torrance. Established in 1991 from a split of area code 213, 310 quickly became synonymous with wealth, celebrity, and the entertainment industry. The 310 region includes high-profile neighborhoods like Bel Air and Brentwood, and is widely featured in film, music, and fashion. In 2006, area code 424 was introduced as an overlay to ensure adequate number availability, making ten-digit dialing mandatory. Despite this, 310 remains a prestige code, often sought after by businesses and individuals. It has become a status symbol, particularly within LA’s entertainment and media circles. From luxury beach homes to iconic shopping districts, 310 is emblematic of Southern California glamour.
