951 entered service on July 17, 2004, when 909 was split in two. 909 had been split from 714 in 1992. The California Public Utilities Commission approved the 2004 split on November 13, 2003, and dialing 951 for the moved numbers became mandatory on October 30, 2004.
No second code has been laid over 951, so it is the only code in its area. Calls inside the area could be dialed with seven digits until October 24, 2021, when ten-digit local dialing became mandatory. Today a local call is dialed as 1 plus all ten digits.
