Georgia, the Peach State, blends Southern charm with economic might. Atlanta stands out as a transportation, film, and business hub, while cities like Savannah offer cobblestone streets and antebellum history. Georgia is rich in culture, from its musical roots to its role in the civil rights movement, and continues to attract people with its warm climate and low cost of living.

Georgia’s area code history began in 1947 with 404, covering the entire state. As growth accelerated, 912, 706, and 770 were added, followed by overlays like 678, 470, and 943 in the Atlanta region. Today, Georgia has multiple overlays in metro areas to accommodate mobile demand and urban sprawl. Georgia area codes now serve not just Atlanta, but the state’s rapidly growing suburban and rural regions as well, supporting everything from fintech to agriculture.
