The 773 area code was created in 1951 as a split from the original 773 that once covered all of Chicago. Today, 773 is exclusively tied to Chicago, located at the heart of the city. It covers iconic neighborhoods like:
Chicago – the bustling heart of the city
Cicero – a vibrant, diverse community
Berwyn – home to rich culture and history
For generations, 773 has represented Chicago pride, offering the best of city life with fast access to all neighborhoods.
The 773 area code operates in the Central Time Zone (CT)–the same time zone as Chicago. 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 773 number means you’re aligned with Central Standard Time (CST) in winter and Central Daylight Time (CDT) in summer.
The 773 area code covers all of Chicago, including:
Chicago
Cicero
Berwyn
and many more.
Getting a 773 number gives your calls a familiar, local presence in one of Chicago’s busiest urban regions. It’s perfect for real estate agents, freelancers, remote workers, and anyone who wants to appear local while staying flexible.
