The 201 area code was created in 1951 as a split from the original 201 that once covered all of New Jersey. Today, 201 is exclusively tied to Bergen County, located just across the Hudson River from Manhattan. It covers iconic neighborhoods like:
Hackensack – the bustling heart of the county
Paramus – the vibrant, diverse town known for its shopping
Teaneck – home to rich culture and history
Englewood – featuring a mix of suburban charm and urban amenities
Fort Lee – known for its scenic views of the Hudson River
For generations, 201 has represented New Jersey pride, offering the best of suburban life with fast access to New York City.
The 201 area code operates in the Eastern Time Zone (ET)–the same time zone as Bergen County. This is important for businesses and professionals who need to stay in sync with local clients, suppliers, and partners. Whether you’re scheduling calls, running local ads, or managing customer support, having a 201 number means you’re aligned with Eastern Standard Time (EST) in winter and Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) in summer.
The 201 area code covers all of Bergen County, including:
Hackensack
Paramus
Teaneck
Englewood
Fort Lee
and many more.
Getting a 201 number gives your calls a familiar, local presence in one of New Jersey’s busiest urban regions. It’s perfect for real estate agents, freelancers, remote workers, and anyone who wants to appear local while staying flexible.
