Area code 954

Area code 954

.

For almost three years, area code 954 had the distinction of being the only area code in the state of Florida to encompass only one county. That distinction was erased on 1 July 1998, when the overlay code of 786 was introduced in Miami-Dade County, the most populous county in the state. Notable cities within Area code 954 are Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Miramar, Pembroke Pines, Coral Springs, Sunrise, and Weston.
