The 948 area code was created in 1951 as a split from the original 948 that once covered all of Virginia. Today, 948 is exclusively tied to Virginia, covering iconic neighborhoods like:
Richmond – the bustling heart of the state
Lynchburg – a charming city with rich culture and history
Charlottesville – known for its vibrant community and beautiful landscapes
For generations, 948 has represented Virginia pride, offering the best of state life with fast access to all regions.
The 948 area code operates in the Eastern Time Zone (ET) – the same time zone as Virginia. 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 948 number means you’re aligned with Eastern Standard Time (EST) in winter and Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) in summer.
The 948 area code covers all of Virginia, including:
Richmond
Lynchburg
Charlottesville
and many more.
Getting a 948 number gives your calls a familiar, local presence in one of Virginia’s busiest urban regions. It’s perfect for real estate agents, freelancers, remote workers, and anyone who wants to appear local while staying flexible.
