Area code 235 covers most of the eastern half of Missouri, excluding the St. Louis metropolitan area. This includes the northeastern tip near the northeastern corner of the state, the Lake of the Ozarks at the western tip, Doniphan as the southwestern tip, all of southeastern Missouri (including the Missouri Bootheel area), and areas adjacent to the Mississippi River.
Area code 235 is part of an overlay complex with area code 573 . This means that both area codes serve the same geographic region. Area code 573 was created on January 7, 1996, and area code 235 was added on March 24, 2024. Since these area codes are in an overlay, ten-digit dialing is required.
