The 617 area code was created in 1951 as a split from the original 212 that once covered all of New York. Today, 617 is exclusively tied to Boston, located at the heart of Suffolk County, Massachusetts. It covers iconic neighborhoods like:
Boston – the bustling heart of the city
Cambridge – known for its prestigious universities
Newton – a suburban jewel with beautiful parks
For generations, 617 has represented Boston pride, offering the best of city life with fast access to all surrounding areas.
The 617 area code operates in the Eastern Time Zone (ET) – the same time zone as Boston. 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 617 number means you’re aligned with Eastern Standard Time (EST) in winter and Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) in summer.
The 617 area code covers all of Boston and surrounding areas, including:
Boston
Cambridge
Newton
and many more.
Getting a 617 number gives your calls a familiar, local presence in one of Boston’s busiest urban regions. It’s perfect for real estate agents, freelancers, remote workers, and anyone who wants to appear local while staying flexible.
