About the 216 area code
Ohio's 216 area code centers on Cleveland and takes in communities such as Beachwood, Brook Park, Cleveland Heights, and East Cleveland. The area stays on Eastern time.
The code has served the Cleveland area since 1947, when the first area codes were introduced. Its boundaries tightened as 330 and 440 were separated out, yet no overlay has ever been placed on 216, so it still stands alone in its territory.
Dialing note: 216 has been in service since 1947, making it one of the original North American area codes.
Numbering details on this page (service dates and overlay status) are checked against the NANPA numbering registry. Registry data as of 07/16/2026.
