The 757 area code serves the southeastern region of Virginia. It covers a number of cities and counties, including the metropolitan area of Hampton Roads, which comprises cities like Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Hampton, Newport News, and Portsmouth. This region is known for its naval and maritime presence, with several military bases and shipyards.
The area code was established in 1996, when it was split from area code 804 to accommodate the growing demand for phone numbers in the region. As with many regions across the United States, the proliferation of mobile devices and services has increased the demand for phone numbers, which led to the introduction of an overlay area code, 948, effective May 2021, to ensure a sufficient supply of numbers in the territory covered by 757.
The region is historically and economically significant, with contributions to the shipping and defense industries, tourism, and higher education, with institutions such as Old Dominion University and the College of William and Mary located nearby.
