Area Code 516 Information


Area Code 516 Map State: NY - New York
Active: True

Area code 516 is used for Long Island's Nassau County, located directly east of the New York City borough of Queens and west of Suffolk County. Upon nationwide adoption of area codes in October 1947, Nassau, along with Suffolk, was given the 914 area code along with about half a dozen counties to the north of New York City until it split very soon after in 1951, giving Long Island the 516 area code exclusively. This area code used to serve both Nassau and Suffolk counties until November 1, 1999, when Suffolk County received the 631 area code.
