History of 551 Area Code
Area code 551 started its service on December 29, 2001, as an overlay of the 201 area code. It was one of 26 area codes introduced that year. 551 was established to relieve the pressure on area code 201 as its numbers were insufficient, creating the demand for new numbers.
The 551 phone area code is New Jersey’s seventh, and it currently has ten.
