Area code 860 covers most of Connecticut outside the southwestern Fairfield County region (which uses 203 and 475). Hartford is the state capital and a major insurance industry center — Aetna, Hartford Financial Services, and The Hartford are based here, giving Hartford more insurance industry concentration than any other US city. The Connecticut River Valley and Mystic Seaport are important cultural destinations.
Across Connecticut, the 860 area code serves roughly 1.8 million residents in 4 communities — including Hartford, New Britain, Middletown, among others.
