Area Code 570 History:

12/05/1998
Area code 570 was officially put into service. Area code 570 was created from a split of area code 717. On October 21, 2013 area code 272 was officially put into service as an overlay of area code 570. Effective September 21, 2013 ten digit dialing in the 570 and 272 area codes became mandatory.

Ten digit dialing (area code + seven digit number) is necessary in the 272/570 overlay because two different homes in the same geographic area can have the same seven digit phone number but each would have a different area code.
