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.

and many more.
