The 686 area code was created in 1951 as a split from the original 212 that once covered all of Virginia. Today, 686 is exclusively tied to Virginia, located at the heart of Chesterfield. It covers iconic neighborhoods like:
Chesterfield – the bustling heart of the region
Midlothian – the vibrant, diverse suburb
Richmond – home to rich culture and history
For generations, 686 has represented Virginia pride, offering the best of suburban and urban life with fast access to all areas.
The 686 area code operates in the Eastern Time Zone (ET)–the same time zone as Virginia. 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 686 number means you’re aligned with Eastern Standard Time (EST) in winter and Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) in summer.
The 686 area code covers all of Virginia, including:
Chesterfield
Midlothian
Richmond
and many more.
Getting a 686 number gives your calls a familiar, local presence in one of Virginia’s busiest regions. It’s perfect for real estate agents, freelancers, remote workers, and anyone who wants to appear local while staying flexible.
