816 Area Code Details

816 Area Code: A Piece of Kansas City History

The 816 area code was created in 1951 as a split from the original 212 that once covered all of New York. Today, 816 is exclusively tied to Kansas City, located at the heart of the region. It covers iconic neighborhoods like:

Kansas City – the bustling heart of the area

Independence – rich in history and community

Lee's Summit – a vibrant suburban area

Blue Springs – known for its beautiful parks

Excelsior Springs – famous for its mineral water springs

For generations, 816 has represented Kansas City pride, offering the best of city life with fast access to surrounding areas.

The 816 area code operates in the Central Time Zone (CT)–the same time zone as Kansas City. 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 816 number means you’re aligned with Central Standard Time (CST) in winter and Central Daylight Time (CDT) in summer.
