(919 and 984) North Carolina is currently using nine area codes. North Carolina utilizes three area code overlay plans, often called an overlay complex. North Carolina originally had one area code, 704, when the numbering system was established in 1947. By 1954 North Carolina experienced sufficient growth in population and telephone use to need an additional area code. To meet this increase in demand area code 704 was split in 1954 to form area code 919.
