713 dates from 1947. In 1996 most of the suburbs were split off as 281. 832 entered service on January 16, 1999, as an overlay that erased the line between 713 and 281, and from that day every local call has been dialed with all ten digits.
Two more codes were laid over the same streets: 346 on July 1, 2014 and 621 on January 23, 2025. All five cover the same area.
