Area code 305 serves southeastern Florida, including Miami, Key West, and all of Miami-Dade and Monroe counties. One of the original area codes established in 1947, 305 originally covered the entire state of Florida before being narrowed by subsequent splits due to explosive population growth. Today, it is overlaid with area code 786, requiring ten-digit dialing. Area code 305 is internationally recognized, symbolizing Miami's global identity as a hub for Latin American business, tourism, nightlife, and cultural fusion. Frequently referenced in music, entertainment, and branding—popularized further by celebrities like Pitbull (“Mr. 305”)—this area code is both iconic and aspirational. It remains one of the most coveted and culturally powerful codes in the country.
