The 202 area code was created in 1951 as a split from the original 212 that once covered all of New York. Today, 202 is exclusively tied to Washington, D.C., located at the heart of the capital. It covers iconic neighborhoods like:
Washington – the bustling heart of the capital
Arlington – a vibrant suburb with rich history
Alexandria – known for its historic Old Town
For generations, 202 has represented D.C. pride, offering the best of city life with fast access to all areas.
