The 269 area code was created in 1997 as a split from the original 616 that once covered all of Michigan. Today, 269 is exclusively tied to Kalamazoo, located in the heart of the region. It covers iconic neighborhoods like:
Kalamazoo – the bustling heart of the city
Battle Creek – known for its rich history and community spirit
Portage – a vibrant suburban area adjacent to Kalamazoo
For generations, 269 has represented Michigan pride, offering the best of local life with fast access to all neighboring towns.
The 269 area code operates in the Eastern Time Zone – the same time zone as Kalamazoo. 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 269 number means you’re aligned with Eastern Standard Time (EST) in winter and Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) in summer.
The 269 area code covers all of Kalamazoo and its surroundings, including:
Kalamazoo
Battle Creek
Portage
and many more.
Getting a 269 number gives your calls a familiar, local presence in one of Michigan’s busiest urban regions. It’s perfect for real estate agents, freelancers, remote workers, and anyone who wants to appear local while staying flexible.
