541 Area Code in Oregon, United States

Area code 541 serves most of Oregon outside the Portland metro area, including cities such as Eugene, Bend, Medford, and Corvallis. It was created in 1995 from a split of the original 503 area code. In 2010, it was overlaid by area code 458 to meet growing demand, introducing ten-digit dialing across the region. The 541 area includes a diverse mix of college towns, outdoor recreation hubs, and agricultural regions. Eugene, home to the University of Oregon, anchors the area with a vibrant academic and cultural scene. 541 continues to be a widely recognized code for much of Oregon outside its largest urban center.
