The 557 area code was created in 1951 as a split from the original 212 that once covered all of Missouri. Today, 557 is exclusively tied to Missouri, located at the heart of the region. It covers iconic neighborhoods like:
Hollister – the bustling heart of the area
Branson – the vibrant, diverse tourist destination
Forsyth – home to rich culture and history
For generations, 557 has represented Missouri pride, offering the best of local life with fast access to all communities.
The 557 area code operates in the Central Time Zone (CT)–the same time zone as Missouri. 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 557 number means you’re aligned with Central Standard Time (CST) in winter and Central Daylight Time (CDT) in summer.
The 557 area code covers all of Missouri, including:
Hollister
Branson
Forsyth
and many more.
Getting a 557 number gives your calls a familiar, local presence in one of Missouri’s busiest regions. It’s perfect for real estate agents, freelancers, remote workers, and anyone who wants to appear local while staying flexible.
