The 251 area code was created in 2001, covering the southwestern region of Alabama. Today, 251 is primarily associated with Mobile County, located on the Gulf Coast. It covers iconic neighborhoods like:
Mobile – the bustling heart of the county
Bay Minette – a small town with charm and history
Gulf Shores – a vibrant coastal destination
For generations, 251 has represented Alabama pride, offering the best of city and coastal life with fast access to all areas.
The 251 area code operates in the Central Time Zone (CT)–the same time zone as Mobile 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 251 number means you’re aligned with Central Standard Time (CST) in winter and Central Daylight Time (CDT) in summer.
The 251 area code covers all of Mobile County, including:

Bay Minette
Gulf Shores
and many more.
