Area code 916 covers the Sacramento metro area. Sacramento is California's state capital and is the agricultural hub of the Central Valley, home to state government and a growing technology sector. The city has attracted significant tech investment as companies and workers priced out of San Francisco and Silicon Valley look for lower-cost alternatives within California.
Across California, the 916 area code serves roughly 1.5 million residents in 4 communities — including Sacramento, Elk Grove, Roseville, among others. Numbers in the 916 zone keep Pacifictime, so a local line rings during your customers' business hours and shows a familiar CA caller ID on every outbound call.
916 was first introduced in 1984 under the North American Numbering Plan. It remains an active geographic code today.
