Area code 417
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Area code 417 serves southwestern Missouri, including the cities of Branson, Carl Junction, Carthage, Joplin, Lebanon, Neosho, Nixa, Ozark, Springfield, and West Plains.
Missouri was originally slated to receive only two area codes--314 for eastern Missouri, including St. Louis, and 816 for western Missouri, including Kansas City; however, when area codes began use in 1951, southwestern Missouri was given 417. Area code 417, unlike Missouri's other original area codes, has neither been reduced in size, nor has had a second, overlay area code added; there are no short-term plans to provide a second area code for southwest Missouri.
