Area code 772 covers Florida’s Treasure Coast, including cities such as Port St. Lucie, Vero Beach, Stuart, and Fort Pierce. It was established in 2002 as a split from area code 561 to address growth in the region. The area is known for its beautiful Atlantic coastline, marine activities, and retirement communities. 772 has helped shape a regional identity tied to relaxed coastal living and environmental preservation. The region includes a mix of beach towns, nature preserves, and suburban developments. As one of Florida’s newer area codes, 772 is still expanding in recognition but serves a vital role in the telecommunications infrastructure of the central-east coast.
