The 850 area code was created in 1995 as a split from the original 850 that once covered all of Northwest Florida. Today, 850 is exclusively tied to Northwest Florida, covering iconic neighborhoods like:
Tallahassee – the bustling heart of the region
Pensacola – the vibrant, coastal metropolis
Fort Walton Beach – home to beautiful beaches and rich culture
For generations, 850 has represented Florida pride, offering the best of coastal and urban life with fast access to all areas.
The 850 area code operates in the Central Time Zone (CT)–the same time zone as Northwest Florida. 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 850 number means you’re aligned with Central Standard Time (CST) in winter and Central Daylight Time (CDT) in summer.
The 850 area code covers all of Northwest Florida, including:
Tallahassee
Pensacola
Fort Walton Beach
and many more.
Getting a 850 number gives your calls a familiar, local presence in one of Florida’s busiest regions. It’s perfect for real estate agents, freelancers, remote workers, and anyone who wants to appear local while staying flexible.
