Locations for Area Code - 216

Area code 216 serves the Cleveland metropolitan area in northeastern Ohio. Established in 1947, it originally covered the northern part of the state but has since been narrowed to Cleveland and nearby suburbs. As a historical industrial powerhouse and cultural center, Cleveland brings recognition to 216 through its contributions in manufacturing, music (home of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame), and healthcare. There are no overlays, and seven-digit dialing is still permitted locally. The 216 area code is a point of pride for residents and holds iconic status in regional identity, sports, and business.
