The 205 area code was created in 1951 as a split from the original 205 that once covered all of Alabama. Today, 205 is exclusively tied to Jefferson County, located in the heart of Birmingham. It covers iconic neighborhoods like:
Birmingham – the bustling heart of the county
Homewood – a vibrant suburb with a close-knit community
Vestavia Hills – known for its family-friendly atmosphere
For generations, 205 has represented Alabama pride, offering the best of county life with fast access to all nearby areas.
The 205 area code operates in the Central Time Zone (CT)–the same time zone as Jefferson 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 205 number means you’re aligned with Central Standard Time (CST) in winter and Central Daylight Time (CDT) in summer.
The area is characterized by a mix of urban and suburban environments, with Birmingham serving as a cultural and economic hub.
The 205 area code covers all of Jefferson County, including:
Birmingham
Homewood
Vestavia Hills
and many more.
Getting a 205 number gives your calls a familiar, local presence in one of Alabama’s busiest urban regions. It’s perfect for real estate agents, freelancers, remote workers, and anyone who wants to appear local while staying flexible.
