HISTORY OF AREA CODE:

Area code 479 covers mainly the area of Arkansas that is North West and includes fourteen counties such as Logan, Washington and Yell and also features such mentionable cities as Fayetteville, Alma, Pottsville and Decatur for a grand total of some seventy-five cities.

The total population of the entire mass of the cities and counties covered under area code four seven nine is six hundred and sixty plus (660+) thousand residents, with whites making up the majority of this population, followed by Hispanics and then blacks. The male to female ratio is about dead even.

It was made a permanent split from area code 501.

One of the more populous cities in area code 479 are Fayetteville, which was most notably featured in Forbes magazine at one point as one of the top cities in the nation for some one to both hold a career and play for fun.

However, there is one particular place under this area code that gave birth to something very historic in terms of industry, and that is the town of Rogers, where Walmart originated from.

In Rogers Sam Walton opened Walton's five and dime store, a tiny little white brick store front set up in 1962.

Some of the more well known radio stations under this area code include KUAF 91.3 FM which a NPR radio station and KKIX 103.9 FM which is one of many country music stations in the state of Arkansas and under this area code.
