NANPA Missouri Area Codes 2022.gif

In 1947, when the American Telephone and Telegraph Company (AT&T) published the first configuration of a nationwide telephone numbering plan, the first version of the North American Numbering Plan (NANP), the U.S. state of Missouri was divided into two numbering plan areas (314 and 816). In 1950, the boundaries were redrawn in the creation of a third numbering plan area, 816. This configuration was stable for forty years into the 1990s, when rapid expansion of telecommunication service required additional area codes.
