Atlanta and its surrounding areas boast a rich cultural scene and are home to attractions like the Georgia State Capitol and the Atlanta Motor Speedway. This region, celebrated for its southern hospitality since 1847, is a hub for industries like fintech, bioscience, and healthcare, with major companies like Delta Air Lines and Coca-Cola choosing to establish themselves here.

History of the 470 area code
Area code 470 is something of a new kid on the block, having been implemented as recently as 2010. What’s the story? Let’s head back to 1947, when the first area codes in the USA were created.
In those days, there were just 86 area codes in total. One of these was 404, which covered the entire state of Georgia. But as the demand for new landlines grew, 404 couldn’t handle it alone.
The North American Numbering Plan (NANP) divided Georgia in half in 1954, assigning a new code (912) to the southern part and leaving 404 to cover the north. This setup lasted into the 1980s, when the territory outside of Metro Atlanta was sectioned off and assigned to 706.
This still didn’t meet the growing demand, so almost all of Atlanta’s suburban ring was transferred to 770 in 1995. This led to mandatory ten‑digit dialing even for local calls—Atlanta was one of the first US cities to use this method.
Area code 678 was introduced as an overlay for 404/770 in 1998, and then came our friend 470 in 2010. Now the 470 prefix has itself been overlaid, by 943 in 2022

470 Area code ZIP codes
As expected with such a large area, the 470 area code contains a number of ZIP codes, including 300, 303, 311, 302, 305, 306, 307, 310, and 399.
470 Area code time zone
Area code 470 comes under Eastern Standard Time (EST), which is five hours behind GMT (or four hours behind in Daylight Saving Time).
It’s in the same time zone as the entire East Coast, including New York City. So, if you’re calling Atlanta from elsewhere in the world—even with a 470 area code phone number—make sure you take any potential time difference into account.
