Louisiana was assigned a single area code in 1947: 504, covering the entire state. 318 split off in 1957 for northern and western Louisiana (Shreveport, Monroe, Alexandria), leaving 504 with New Orleans, Baton Rouge and the south.
Two splits modernised the map in 1998-1999: 225 split from 504 in 1998 for Baton Rouge and surrounding parishes, and 337 split from 318 in 1999 for Lafayette, Lake Charles and Cajun Country.
985 split from 504 in 2001 for the Northshore (Slidell, Hammond, Houma, Thibodaux) leaving 504 restricted to Orleans Parish and immediate Jefferson Parish. 457 was added in 2024 as the 318 overlay for north Louisiana — the state's first overlay code.
Louisiana is the only US state that uses "parishes" instead of counties — 64 of them. The terminology dates to French colonial rule, when Catholic church parishes served as the basic civil divisions. The state's area codes still loosely follow parish geography: 504 (Orleans), 225 (East Baton Rouge), 337 (Acadiana parishes), etc.
