The blue area is New York State; the red area is area code 585
Area code 585 is a state of New York (USA) telephone area code and was created on November 15, 2001 for use in the city of Rochester, New York and surrounding areas. Previously 716 was used for the area now in 585. Area Code 716 was shared with Buffalo and much of western New York, until numbers in that area code became scarce. The borders for the 585 area code match county lines, regardless of mailing address, which causes some confusion where mailing city overlaps the municipal boundary. The result is that several mailing cities have numbers in both area codes. Some of these include Arcade, Cuba, and Alden.
