North Americanarea codes 682 and 817 are U.S. state of Texastelephonearea code for numbers near the Fort Worth area. Area code 817 was created as a flash-cut sometime during 1953, but available databases do not indicate from which area code it was split, as all original area codes were created in October 1947. Based on proximity, however, it was probably split from the 915 area code. In a message posted to the Telecom Digest mailing list and newsgroup comp.dcom.telecom, Carl Moore reports that 817 was created mostly in part from area code 915 as well as a small part from area code 214. Area code 682 was created on October 7, 2000 as an overlay to 817.
