What is the 979 Area Code?

The 979 area code serves southeast Texas, including important cities like College Station, Bryan, and Lake Jackson. A 979 area code is a powerful code in Texas, USA, representing Texas and key markets like Bryan, College Station, and Lake Jackson, TX.

The area code 979 was implemented in 2000, as part of the North American Numbering Plan (NANP), when the 409 area code was split to meet the growing communication needs of southeastern Texas.

The 409 area code had previously encompassed a large area, but due to the population growth, economic growth, and saturation of telecommunication numbers, both the industry and the state of Texas recognized that a new area code was needed.

Unlike the overlays that attach multiple area codes to the same area, 979 became the only code for its assigned area. Since that time, it has supported thousands of businesses, universities, and industries throughout southeast Texas.

Whether you are located in Brazos County or Bay City, a virtual number tied to a local 979 area code will make it easier for customers to reach you or your business.
