Why Metro Los Angeles Has 6 Area Codes
When a region uses more numbers than one code can hold, new codes are overlaid on the same territory rather than forcing anyone to change numbers. Metro Los Angeles now uses 310, 424, 657, 714, 747 and 818: same neighborhoods, ten-digit dialing, and every one of them covered by its own guide above.

How California Got Its Codes
Every California area code, in the order it entered service. Splits carved new regions; added codes overlay existing ones, which is why ten-digit dialing is standard.
