Area code 616

Area code 616 was one of the original area codes of 1947. It covered all of the western Lower Peninsula of Michigan, as well as the Upper Peninsula. Now, after three splits, it only serves the Grand Rapids – Wyoming and Holland – Grand Haven metropolitan areas, which includes Kent, Ionia and Ottawa counties as well as parts of the surrounding counties.

The Upper Peninsula was split off into area code 906 in 1961. Later, 616 split to form 231 to the north, and later split again to form 269 to the south.
