History of the 908 Area Code

On November 1, 1990, area code 908 was created as the previous area code 201 was under a lot of pressure to fulfill the early demand for phone numbers. It was not until 1997 that the need for telephone lines rose too quickly, splitting the area code where 908 served Elizabeth and its suburbs and new area code 732 served Toms River. 

Ultimately, 908 was designed to serve a larger area, but it now serves the city of Elizabeth and its nearby areas.
