The 985 area code was created in the early 2000s to serve the southeastern part of Louisiana, specifically areas surrounding New Orleans. Today, 985 is tied to regions like:
Mandeville – a charming lakeside community
Covington – known for its historic district and vibrant downtown
Lacombe – a serene town near the bayou
For generations, 985 has represented Louisiana pride, offering a unique blend of culture and community life.
The 985 area code operates in the Central Time Zone (CT)–the same time zone as Louisiana. 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 985 number means you’re aligned with Central Standard Time (CST) in winter and Central Daylight Time (CDT) in summer.
The 985 area code covers all of southeastern Louisiana, including:
Mandeville
Covington
Lacombe
and many more.
Getting a 985 number gives your calls a familiar, local presence in one of Louisiana’s vibrant regions. It’s perfect for real estate agents, freelancers, remote workers, and anyone who wants to appear local while staying flexible.
