Area code 775 Area code 775 Area code 775 is a Nevada telephone area code in the North American Numbering Plan. It was split from area code 702 on December 12, 1998, and covers the entire state except for Clark County (Las Vegas) which retained area code 702 after the split. Major cities in this area code include Reno, Carson City and Elko. While it appears to be rural, more than 80 percent of its numbers are located in Reno and Carson City. Prior to the creation of 775, area code 702 had served all of Nevada for 51 years. The state's dramatic
U.S. Route 51 in Louisiana neighborhood in Jefferson Parish remained in the state highway system as a disconnected part of Route 33 until the 1955 Louisiana Highway renumbering. The remainder of US 51 carried no state route designation after the renumbering, which eliminated unnecessary concurrencies between U.S. and state routes. Paving projects during the late 1920s and early 1930s led to the early realignment of two portions of US 51 in Tangipahoa Parish. The original route between Independence and Amite City followed what is now known as Old US 51 and remained for a time in the pre-1955 state highway system as State Route 1094.
