[edit] History
-Originally, Arizona only had one area code: 602.
-In 1994, the state of Arizona was split into two area codes. Maricopa County retained area code 602, and the rest of the state adopted area code 520.
-In 1999, Maricopa County was divided into area codes 602, 480, and 623 (see above section for descriptions).
-In 2003, the state outside of Maricopa County was divided into northern and southern halves. The southern half retained area code 520, and the northern half was assigned area code 928.
