Area code 574 serves the northern part of the U.S. state of Indiana.
Area code 574 was created from area code 219 in 2002 in a three-way split. The eastern portion became area code 260 , while Northwest Indiana retained 219. Prior to October 2021, area code 574 had telephone numbers assigned for the central office code 988 , so it transitioned to ten-digit dialing by October 24, 2021.
Northern Indiana's 574 area code stretches from South Bend through Elkhart to Warsaw. Notre Dame alumni association callers, RV manufacturing sales reps from Thor Industries, and orthopedic device sales representatives are common.
