Area codes 862 and 973
Area codes 973 and 862 are North American Numbering Plan area codes for Northern New Jersey that cover portions of Bergen, Essex, Hudson, Morris, Passaic, Sussex and Union Counties. Cities served by these area codes include Newark, Paterson, Clifton, Passaic, Montclair, Morristown, Parsippany, Dover, and The Oranges. Area code 973 was formed on June 1, 1997 when the Numbering Plan Area 201 was split. The creation of 973 was intended as a long-term solution, but within three years it was already close to exhaustion due to the proliferation of cell phones and pagers.
