Area Code 819 spans a large swath of western Quebec, including cities like Gatineau, Sherbrooke, and Trois-Rivières. Introduced in 1957, it’s a number steeped in francophone culture and regional pride. From the Outaouais to the Eastern Townships, 819 connects historic communities, government branches, and universities with a distinct Quebecois voice. Though now overlaid by 873, 819 remains a trusted and recognized area code. Whether it’s a call from a ski town or a provincial office, 819 says tradition, balance, and quiet confidence.
