Find any 434- phone number in Virginia
The 434 area code is exclusive to the Commonwealth of Virginia in the United States. The code represents part of the North American Numbering Plan (NANP), which is a system for assigning telephone number to geographic locations in North America. The NANP assigns each telephone number within a 3-digit area code, 3-digit central office code, and 4-digit line number, and the 434 area code in Virginia is just one area code of many that have been assigned through the NANP.
The 434 area code was established in 2001 when Virginia needed to create additional phone numbers to account for the growing population in the Commonwealth; this area code split from the 804 area code, which had been the primary area code of Virginia since 1947. It is projected that Virginia’s 804 area code will also have to be split again in the near future due to the growing population, although at this time, no decisions have been made as to how, when, or where this split would occur.
