Area Codes by City

Louisville claims 502, Lexington uses 859, western Kentucky operates 270, and the eastern mountains run on 606. The table below maps these four codes to cities across the commonwealth. Area codes show you the general area, but entering the number in our search tool identifies the specific person and their location.

270 Bowling Green, Owensboro, Hopkinsville
364 Bowling Green, Owensboro, Hopkinsville
502 Louisville, Georgetown, Jeffersontown
606 Ashland, Somerset, Middlesborough
859 Covington, Richmond
