About the 517 area code
Lansing, Michigan, sits at the center of area code 517, which also includes East Lansing, Jackson, Adrian, and Hillsdale. The region runs on Eastern time.
The code was part of the original rollout of 1947. It gave up a share of its coverage when area code 989 was split away, and because it operates without an overlay, its numbering territory belongs to 517 alone.
Dialing note: 517 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.
