Why do you need a 319 area code number in Cedar Rapids, Iowa

The North American Numbering Plan (NANP) is a telephone numbering plan whereby a specific geographic area is assigned a prefix. In this case, the 319 area code pertains to southeastern and east-central portions of the state of Iowa, including such major cities as Burlington, Cedar Falls, Cedar Rapids, Cedar Rapids, Oelwein, Fort Madison, Iowa City, Keokuk, Mount Pleasant, and Waterloo.  

In 1947, the state of Iowa was divided into 3 NPAs, with the área code 319 covering the eastern part. To avoid saturation of the 319 prefixes, , in the late 2000 area code 563 was moved to cover the northeastern part of the state.
