About the 716 area code
Since 1947, Buffalo, New York, has carried area code 716. Cheektowaga, West Seneca, Kenmore, and Tonawanda share the prefix, and the area sets its clocks to Eastern time.
Buffalo's code has been reshaped twice since then. Area code 585 was split away from its territory, and 624 now overlays today's 716 area, putting two codes on shared territory with ten-digit local calls.
Dialing note: 716 is part of an overlay complex with 624, so local calls in this area are dialed with all ten digits.
Numbering details on this page (service dates and overlay status) are checked against the NANPA numbering registry. Registry data as of 07/16/2026.
