Iowa received two original area codes in 1947: 515 covering central and western Iowa (including Des Moines), and 319 covering eastern Iowa (Cedar Rapids, Iowa City, Waterloo, Davenport, Dubuque). 712 was added in 1960 to carve off western Iowa (Sioux City, Council Bluffs) from 515.
Two further splits modernised the map in 2000-2001. 641 split from 515 in 2000 for north-central and south-central Iowa (Mason City, Ottumwa, Marshalltown), and 563 split from 319 in 2001 for the Mississippi River corridor (Davenport, Dubuque, Clinton).
Today Iowa runs 5 codes covering 99 counties across the state. 515 is restricted to Des Moines and the immediate metro, 319 to Cedar Rapids/Iowa City, and the rest of the state is split across 712, 641 and 563 by geographic region.
Iowa is one of only a handful of US states that received two original area codes in 1947 — 515 (central/west) and 319 (east) — reflecting the state's wide east-west geography divided by the Des Moines metro. Many neighboring states (Nebraska, the Dakotas, Kansas) only got one original code, despite similar populations.
