Locations for Area Code - 570

Area code 570 covers northeastern and central Pennsylvania, including Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, Williamsport, and Hazleton. Created in 1998 from a split with 717, it was overlaid with area code 272 in 2013, requiring ten-digit dialing. The region has deep roots in coal mining and railroads, and while many towns faced economic decline, there has been a resurgence in education, healthcare, and logistics. Area code 570 is a marker of Pennsylvania’s working-class heritage, regional pride, and resilience, often referenced in local culture, sports, and civic identity throughout the Keystone State’s northeast corridor.
