History of 740 Area Code

Area code 740 started serving the southwestern region of Ohio on December 6, 1997, as an overlay of the 614 area code. It was one of 43 area codes introduced that year. 740 was established to relieve the pressure on 614 numbers, which were insufficient, creating the demand for new numbers.

Furthermore, it has a single overlay, 220, that serves the same area, which was created in 2015. The 740 area code is Ohio's 8th area code, which currently has 15.
