Service began there in 1947, in the very first round of assignments. In place ever since, it now shares the District with 771 in an overlay arrangement, which means local numbers are dialed using the full ten digits.

Dialing note: 202 is part of an overlay complex with 771, so local calls in this area are dialed with all ten digits.
