Area code 919 operates as part of an overlay complex with area code 984 , serving the same geographic region. Area code 919 was created in 1954, while area code 984 was introduced with an effective date of April 30, 2012. As a result of this overlay, ten-digit dialing became mandatory across the Triangle region on March 31, 2012, for all local calls.
The Research Triangle's 919 area code encompasses Raleigh, Durham, and Cary, one of the country's most concentrated corridors of universities, hospitals, and tech companies. Duke Health and UNC Health scheduling lines, NC State government offices, and tech recruiters from firms like Cisco, SAS, and Lenovo are among the most common callers.
