Area code 714 serves northern Orange County, California, including cities like Anaheim, Huntington Beach, and Garden Grove. Established in 1951 from a split with 213, it once covered much of Southern California before being divided and overlaid with 657. This region is known for Disneyland, coastal suburbs, and a strong tourism and technology presence. Ten-digit dialing is required throughout the area. Area code 714 remains a nostalgic and recognized marker of Orange County identity, often used in pop culture and local branding to evoke surf culture, suburban life, and the Southern California dream.
