Alabama, known as the Yellowhammer State, boasts a rich blend of Southern culture, civil rights history, and vibrant landscapes from the Appalachian Mountains to Gulf Coast beaches. The state is famous for its aerospace industry in Huntsville, sweet sorghum farms, and iconic college football traditions. It’s also the birthplace of influential figures like Rosa Parks and Hank Williams, which contributes to its enduring charm and historical significance.

Alabama’s telecommunications history dates back to the 1947 establishment of original area codes 205 and 334 (the latter added in 1995). Over time, rapid population growth and mobile demand led to overlays like 938 (added in 2019) and the creation of area codes 256 and 659 in northern Alabama. Today, Alabama area codes reflect a vibrant mix of metropolitan, rural, and coastal communities, supporting strong connectivity for industries, healthcare, and education across its diverse regions.
