About the 252 area code
Since 1998, area code 252 has covered a stretch of North Carolina that includes Greenville, Rocky Mount, Wilson, and Nashville. The whole area runs on Eastern time.
Its territory was divided from area code 919 at that time, and it has stayed a standalone code, with no overlay assigned. Smaller towns such as Spring Hope, Whitakers, and Bailey also fall inside its boundaries.
Dialing note: 252 was carved out of the 919 territory and went into service in 1998.
