Area code 620 covers much of southern Kansas, excluding Wichita. Introduced in 2001 as a split from 316, it serves a wide rural region with small cities like Dodge City, Hutchinson, and Garden City. Known for agriculture, cattle ranching, and prairie landscapes, the 620 region represents the heart of Kansas’s rural identity. It is not overlaid, allowing for seven-digit local dialing. While geographically vast, 620 evokes a strong sense of community and tradition in small-town America.
