Area code 209 was created in an area code split of area code 415 on October 26, 1957. On November 14, 1998, the southern half of this numbering plan area received the assignment of area code 559.

On October 24, 2021, 209 was transitioned to 1+10-digit dialing despite not being part of an overlay complex at that time. The area code had telephone numbers assigned for the central office code 988, which was designated as a nationwide three-digit dialing code for the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline in 2022. This created a conflict for all NPAs with central office codes of 988 that still permitted seven-digit dialing,[1] requiring all such NPAs to transition to ten-digit dialing.

On November 28, 2022, the 209 numbering plan area was assigned a second area code, 350, to form an overlay complex to address the impending central office code exhaustion in 209 from growth in telecommunication services.[2] The network preparation period was able to be expedited since ten-digit dialing was already in effect.[3]
