Area codes in Indiana.

Area code 260 is a North American Numbering Plan area code for northeast Indiana. Cities served include Angola, Auburn, Bluffton, Butler, Columbia City, Decatur, Fort Wayne, Huntington, New Haven, and Wabash.

History

Eventual depletion of numbers in area code 219 in the late 1990s prompted a three-way split of 219. As the result of a random drawing, northwest Indiana retained 219, 574 was assigned to north-central Indiana, (including South Bend), and northeast Indiana, received 260. The split was on January 15, 2002, with mandatory dialing effective five months later.[1]
