The area code that is known as three twenty-three covers only three counties, but also spans throughout seventy-four cities in the state of California. Some of the cities that use area code 323 are Maywood, El Segundo, Woodland and Santa Monica.
It was set up in nineteen ninety-eight to expand with the ever growing population in the state of California and in the counties of Riverside, Orange and mainly Los Angeles.
Total population is much larger than most other area codes in California with a total of four million plus people living within and using 323, the majority being Hispanics.
Three twenty-three covers all of Los Angeles except downtown and it is used in Hollywood as well. For a long time it was only area code 213 that presides over this area until a split occurred in 1998 as issued by the NANPA.
Many notable people either reside in this area under 323 or were born here. A few to mention are author Clive Cussler who resides in Alhambra and Jack Kramer who was a professional tennis player lived in Montebello.
Pasadena is also under this area code and is very well known for hosting the Rose Bowl for college football.
The Career College of America is also located under area code three twenty-three.
Drew Barrymore was also born in Culver City which is established by the north American area code three twenty-three as well.
