The 515 area code was created in 1950 as a split from the original 212 that once covered all of Iowa. Today, 515 is exclusively tied to Polk County, located at the heart of Des Moines. It covers iconic neighborhoods like:
Des Moines – the bustling heart of the county
West Des Moines – the vibrant suburb city
Ankeny – a growing community with rich culture and history
For generations, 515 has represented Iowa pride, offering the best of county life with fast access to all neighboring areas.
The 515 area code operates in the Central Time Zone (CT)–the same time zone as Iowa. 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 515 number means you’re aligned with Central Standard Time (CST) in winter and Central Daylight Time (CDT) in summer.
The 515 area code covers all of Polk County, including:
Des Moines
West Des Moines
Ankeny
and many more.
Getting a 515 number gives your calls a familiar, local presence in one of Iowa’s busiest urban regions. It’s perfect for real estate agents, freelancers, remote workers, and anyone who wants to appear local while staying flexible.
