612 is one of the original codes of 1947, and it has been split four times. 320 left in 1996 and 651 in 1998. On February 27, 2000, the suburbs to the north and northwest became 763, and the suburbs to the south and southwest became 952.

What it has never had is an overlay. 612 is still the only code for its area, which is why a local call there is dialed with seven digits. Most large cities need ten.
