History of Area Code 862
Area code 862 was put into service in December 2001. It is New Jersey’s seventh and was one of the 26 area codes introduced that year. Currently, the state has 10 area codes.
Initially, the primary area code 201 served the entire state of New Jersey. However, in 1997, it was split to create a new area code, 973, for the northern part. Again, by the early 2000s, 973 was nearing exhaustion due to the overuse of telecommunications services. Then, 862 was introduced as an overlay.
