Area code 325 covers west-central Texas, including Abilene, San Angelo, Brownwood, and Sweetwater. It was created in 2003 as a split from area code 915 to address regional growth. The area has strong military ties—particularly Dyess Air Force Base in Abilene—and is also known for ranching, agriculture, and oil production. The communities within 325 carry a distinctly Texan identity, emphasizing faith, tradition, and independence. Ten-digit dialing is required. Area code 325 represents the resilience of rural and small-town Texas and remains a symbol of pride for those living in the western heart of the state.
