From the public records of the body that runs US phone numbering, read October 21, 2026.
817 entered service in 1953. In 1997 it was divided three ways: Fort Worth and Arlington kept 817, the north took 940 and the south around Waco took 254.
The Public Utility Commission approved an overlay in December 1999, so no one had to change a number. On October 7, 2000, 682 entered service over 817, and dialing all ten digits for local calls became mandatory that day.
