Area code 225 covers the southern part of Louisiana, encompassing the Baton Rouge metropolitan area.
Area code 225 was created in August 1998 in an area code split from area code 504 . It was Louisiana's third area code, and the first new area code in the state in forty-one years.
Baton Rouge and the surrounding southeastern Louisiana parishes are home to the 225 area code. Louisiana state government offices, LSU alumni fundraisers, and ExxonMobil refinery safety officers are frequent callers.
