Massachusetts, the Bay State, is a cornerstone of American history and innovation. Home to the Pilgrims’ landing at Plymouth, the American Revolution’s birthplace in Boston, and prestigious universities like Harvard and MIT, Massachusetts has long shaped the nation’s culture and intellect. Its mix of colonial towns, cutting-edge biotech firms, and passionate sports fandom makes it a dynamic place to live and visit.

Telecommunications in Massachusetts began with just area code 617, but increasing demand led to the addition of several other codes. Today, 508, 781, 978, 413, 774, 351, 857, and 339 cover different parts of the state, with overlays in urban centers like Boston and the South Shore. These Massachusetts area codes reflect both historical continuity and modern population growth, maintaining connectivity across its academic, coastal, and business communities.
