About the 985 area code
Area code 985 covers a section of Louisiana anchored by Houma. Thibodaux, Slidell, Hammond, and Morgan City round out its major communities, and Central time (GMT -6) is the local standard.
This code split away from area code 504 in 2001, taking its portion of the older numbering territory with it. Since then it has stood on its own, with no companion code overlapping its area.
Dialing note: 985 was carved out of the 504 territory and went into service in 2001.
Numbering details on this page (service dates and overlay status) are checked against the NANPA numbering registry. Registry data as of 07/16/2026.
