831 Area Code Details

831 Area Code: A Piece of Monterey County History

The 831 area code was created in 1998 as a split from the original 408 that once covered all of Silicon Valley. Today, 831 is exclusively tied to Monterey County, California, located along the beautiful coastline. It covers iconic neighborhoods like:

Monterey – the historic coastal town

Salinas – known for its agriculture and rich history

Santa Cruz – famous for its beaches and boardwalk

For generations, 831 has represented local pride, offering the best of coastal life with fast access to nearby attractions.

The 831 area code operates in the Pacific Time Zone (PT)–the same time zone as Monterey County. 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 831 number means you’re aligned with Pacific Standard Time (PST) in winter and Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) in summer.

Areas Served by the 831 Code

The 831 area code covers all of Monterey County, including:

Monterey

Santa Cruz

and many more.
