The 740 area code was created as a split from the original 740 that once covered all of Southeast Ohio. Today, 740 is exclusively tied to Southeast Ohio, covering iconic cities like:
Lancaster – the bustling heart of the region
Zanesville – the vibrant, diverse community
Chillicothe – home to rich culture and history
For generations, 740 has represented Ohio pride, offering the best of small-town life with fast access to all towns.
The 740 area code operates in the Eastern Time Zone (ET)–the same time zone as Southeast Ohio. 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 740 number means you’re aligned with Eastern Standard Time (EST) in winter and Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) in summer.
The 740 area code covers all of Southeast Ohio, including:
Lancaster
Zanesville
Chillicothe
and many more.
Getting a 740 number gives your calls a familiar, local presence in one of Southeast Ohio’s busiest regions. It’s perfect for real estate agents, freelancers, remote workers, and anyone who wants to appear local while staying flexible.
