Area code 517

Area code 517 is the area code which serves the south central portion of the Lower Peninsula of Michigan. Notable cities within 517 include Charlotte, Mason, Eaton Rapids, Lansing, East Lansing, Jackson, Howell, Coldwater, Adrian, and Hillsdale. Albion, home of Albion College is also in the 517 area code.

517 was one of the original area codes created in 1947, and originally covered the northeastern Lower Peninsula. On April 7, 2001, the northern and northeastern portions of the old 517 territory became area code 989. Until then, 517 had been the only one of Michigan's original three area codes to have never been split.
