Area code 714 covers much of northern Orange County, California, including major cities like Anaheim, Santa Ana, Orange, and Fullerton. Created in 1951 as a split from the original 213 area code, 714 once spanned all of Southern California outside Los Angeles. Over time, portions of 714 were carved off to create other area codes like 619 and 909. Today, 714 is overlaid with area code 657, which was introduced in 2008 to manage number exhaustion. Home to Disneyland Resort, a thriving suburban economy, and a strong cultural identity, the 714 code remains an iconic symbol of Orange County. It is frequently used in business branding, local sports, and pop culture, especially among longtime residents.
