Area code 761 to overlay 502 region
Kentucky will be getting a new area code as an overlay complex is introduced in the 502 region.
The Kentucky Public Service Commission has announced that residents in the 502 area code region will soon be seeing a second area code: 761.
According to a release from the commission, the North American Numbering Plan Administrator estimates that available telephone numbers will soon be exhausted in the 502 region, with projections indicating the numbers will run out in the third quarter of 2027. The commission held a series of public comment meetings and determined that an overlay was the most efficient and cost effective strategy rather than splitting the region. The 502 area code will remain in use and current customers will not lose their number. The only change for customers will be the need to utilize 10-digit dialing.
The release from the commission states: “Industry guidelines maintain that an ‘overlay’ area code should be in place at least six months before an in-use area code is exhausted. A specific date for the introduction of the 761 area code has not been set.”
The NANPA estimates the new area code will have sufficient numbers for the region for approximately 30 years. The 502/761 region includes Bullitt, Jefferson, and Nelson counties along with parts of Hardin and Meade counties including Fort Knox, Muldraugh, and West Point.
502 was one of the original area codes introduced in 1947, when it covered the entire state. It became the area code for Western Kentucky when 606 was introduced in 1954 for Eastern Kentucky, then became the code for North-Central Kentucky in 1999 when 270 was introduced for Western Kentucky.
