Map of California area codes in blue (and border states) with 760 in redAbout this image

North American area code 760 is a California telephone area code which encompasses much of the eastern portion of the state, as well as a great deal of Southern California. The area code includes Imperial, Inyo, and Mono Counties, as well as portions of San Diego, Riverside, San Bernardino, and Kern Counties.

History

760 was created March 23, 1997 out of what was then part of 619. Within a decade, however, 760 was strained for numbers, and after public discussions and hearings it was ultimately decided, in April 2008, to split the San Diego County portion of the area code into the newly created area code 442, which goes into effect in the spring of 2009. A grassroots effort by affected residents, called Keep760.org, has spurred eight San Diego County elected officials to send an urgent letter to the CPUC asking them to delay and reconsider their decision.
