The 540 area code was introduced in 1995 as a split from Virginia's original 804 area code, which had covered nearly the entire state for decades. Rapid growth necessitated new area codes. Today 540 covers western Virginia cities and countryside, while 757 focuses on the state's eastern side.

For businesses across western and southern Virginia, a local 540 number resonates with the region's identity. Customers recognize companies that understand the area's culture beyond the busy Beltway.
