The 860 area code was created in 1995 as a split from the original 203 that once covered all of Connecticut. Today, 860 is exclusively tied to Connecticut, covering iconic neighborhoods like:
Hartford – the bustling heart of the state
New Britain – a vibrant, diverse city
Bristol – home to rich culture and history
For generations, 860 has represented Connecticut pride, offering the best of city life with fast access to all surrounding regions.
The 860 area code operates in the Eastern Time Zone (ET)–the same time zone as Connecticut. 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 860 number means you’re aligned with Eastern Standard Time (EST) in winter and Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) in summer.
The 860 area code covers all of Connecticut, including:
Hartford
New Britain
Bristol
and many more.
Getting a 860 number gives your calls a familiar, local presence in one of Connecticut’s busiest urban regions. It’s perfect for real estate agents, freelancers, remote workers, and anyone who wants to appear local while staying flexible.
