Area code 404 covers central Atlanta and nearby urban neighborhoods in Georgia. One of the original 1947 area codes, it has become iconic in pop culture, especially within the music and entertainment industries. Atlanta is a major hub for business, civil rights history, and Southern culture. Known for its skyline, film production, and busy airport, the 404 is deeply woven into Atlanta’s identity. It's now overlaid with 470, 678, and 943.
