Find any 629- phone number in Tennessee
The 629 area code is part of the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) system. It is one of two area codes currently assigned to the state of Tennessee, the other being the 423 area code. Established in 1995, the 629 area code serves an 11-county region located in Tennessee’s central and south-central regions. It covers the Greater Nashville area including such counties as Davidson, Robertson, and Wilson. This area code not only serves Nashville residents but also extends to the surrounding communities of Bowling Green and Murfreesboro in Kentucky and Maury and Williamson in Tennessee.
The NANP is a system overseen by the Federal Communications Commission and the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission. It is composed of three-digit area codes that are determined by geographic boundaries, with the original plan developed to accommodate the rapidly growing demand for telephone numbers in the 1940s. To accommodate the needs of a specific area, overlay, split, or geographic boundary changes are all tactics used by the NANP to re-allocate area codes. For example, the 629 area code was created during an overlay in 2020 that split the original 423 area code into two sections.
