Area code four fifteen covers San Fransisco and the majority of Marin county in northern California on the west coast.
This area code is one of the oldest ones, and in fact was one of the three that California started with way back in the year nineteen forty-seven.
Its range was central California for the longest time until nineteen fifty-one when area code nine sixteen was minimized, and 415 was allowed to extend.
Amazingly this area code would go through yet several other changes, starting with the first one in 1959, when it was split three ways, but initially evolved into two more area codes.
510 was created from 415 as yet another split in 1991, which serves Oakland, and in 1997 415 was split once more to create area code 650, which covers a tiny portion of the city of San Fransisco.
Much of Marin county was allowed to keep 415, but south of this area the new area code would be 650 instead as used by its residents.
Currently today four fifteen covers 14 counties and a some sixty-five cities/districts like Sacramento, San Jose, Concord and Belmont.
The population under the area managed by this area code is just a little over one million in number, with the white and Asian population being the largest part of that figure.
