This area code known as 619 covers eleven counties in the southern California region, and within these 11 counties it spans across and throughout fifty-three cities like Jamul, Cardiff by the sea, Dulzura, Chula Vista and Lemon Grove.
Population is just a little less than two million, with mainly whites, Hispanics and blacks making up the majority of that number.
It was created as a split from 714 in 1982, and mainly serves San Diego, and 619 would later be split into the area code 760. Sometimes six nineteen is used as local slang to designate specific areas within the city of San Diego.
