Area code 973 is a North American Numbering Plan area code for Northern New Jersey that covers portions of Bergen, Essex, Hudson, Morris, Passaic, Sussex and Union Counties. It was formed as of June 1, 1997 when Area code 201 was split.[1][2] In 2001, the 862 area code was created to overlay the 973 area code, making 10-digit dialing mandatory.[3]
