Area code 914
Area code 914 is a telephone area code within New York state. 914's boundaries are the same as Westchester County. It was one of the original area codes established in October 1947.
Until 2000, the 914 area code served Rockland, Putnam, Orange, Dutchess, Ulster, Sullivan, and Delaware counties, in addition to Westchester. Due to the growing popularity and commercialization of cell phones and internet dial-up connections, 914 was split on June 5, 2000. Westchester retained 914; the remainder getting 845. Cellular phones with 914 before the split kept 914.
914 also included Long Island's Nassau and Suffolk until the 516 area code was created in 1951.
Since 2004, a block of numbers used by MCI has also been used in the Green Zone of Baghdad, Iraq to provide U.S. government officials and humanitarian workers access to "local" calls.[1]
