Area code 937

Area code 937 is a telephone area code serving much of the southwestern part of the U.S. state of Ohio and was established September 28, 1996. It covers Bellefontaine, Dayton, Fairborn, Hillsboro, Marysville, Springfield, Wilmington, Xenia, public parts of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, and areas north and east of Cincinnati. It split from area code 513 in 1996. By the end of 2020, it is expected to exhaust all numbers. At the time, literature promoting the new area code took advantage of the fact that the numbers spelled YES.
