The history of Oregon area codes

Oregon relied on 503 by itself for 48 years, before 541 started in 1995.

  2. 541 separated from 503 in 1995 to serve Adrian, Albany and Alsea.
  3. 971 became an overlay for 503 in 2000 across the same area.
  4. 458 became an overlay for 541 in 2010 across the same area.
