It was developed by AT&T in 1947 and standardized phone numbers for the purpose of making long distance phone calls. The original plan divided the United States into 86 areas, each with a three digit code. The 805 area code is located within the 858 area in the NANP, covering parts of the US states of California and Nevada. In addition, a comprehensive list and map of all area codes in the NANP can be found on the official website of the NANP.
