About the 740 area code
Since 1997, area code 740 has served Newark, Ohio, together with Pataskala, Lancaster, Johnstown, and Bremen, communities that all keep Eastern time.
It began life as an overlay on the 614 numbering area. Code 220 was later layered on top of its territory, and today the pair functions as an overlay complex, meaning every local call is dialed with the full ten digits.
Dialing note: 740 is part of an overlay complex with 220, 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.
