Area code 330 serves northeastern Ohio, including Akron, Canton, and Youngstown. Created in 1996 as a split from 216, it now overlays with 234. Akron, once known as the "Rubber Capital of the World," has reinvented itself with tech, education, and healthcare industries. It’s also the birthplace of the All-American Soap Box Derby and home to the Akron Art Museum and Cuyahoga Valley National Park.
