The 609 area code was created in 1951 as a split from the original 609 that once covered all of South Jersey. Today, 609 is exclusively tied to South Jersey, covering iconic neighborhoods like:
Cherry Hill – a suburban town with a strong community vibe
Trenton – the vibrant, diverse capital city
Vineland – known for its rich culture and history
For generations, 609 has represented South Jersey pride, offering the best of suburban life with fast access to Philadelphia.
The 609 area code operates in the Eastern Time Zone (ET)–the same time zone as South Jersey. 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 609 number means you’re aligned with Eastern Standard Time (EST) in winter and Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) in summer.
The 609 area code covers all of South Jersey, including:
Cherry Hill
Trenton
Vineland
and many more.
Getting a 609 number gives your calls a familiar, local presence in one of South Jersey’s busiest urban regions. It’s perfect for real estate agents, freelancers, remote workers, and anyone who wants to appear local while staying flexible.
