The 819 area code was created in 1951 as a split from the original 819 that once covered all of Quebec. Today, 819 is exclusively tied to Quebec, covering iconic neighborhoods like:
Sherbrooke – a vibrant city known for its culture and arts
Gatineau – rich in history and nature, just across from Ottawa
Drummondville – a friendly town with a mix of modern amenities and heritage
For generations, 819 has represented Quebec pride, offering the best of urban life with fast access to all regions.
The 819 area code operates in the Eastern Time Zone – the same time zone as Quebec. 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 an 819 number means you’re aligned with Eastern Standard Time (EST) in winter and Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) in summer.
The 819 area code covers all of Quebec, including:
Sherbrooke
Gatineau
Drummondville
and many more.
Getting an 819 number gives your calls a familiar, local presence in one of Quebec’s busiest urban regions. It’s perfect for real estate agents, freelancers, remote workers, and anyone who wants to appear local while staying flexible.
