716 NPA Split, Creating 585 NPA (New York)

Correction to PL 270, 716-585 Split (New York)

NPA 585 split from 716

Area code 585 was created by splitting from area code 716 on November 15, 2001. This split reduced the geographic reach of 716, assigning Rochester and eight surrounding counties in Western New York to the new 585 code. The boundary between 716 and 585 roughly follows county lines, with some ZIP codes served by both codes.
