Everything you need to know about 561 area code – Boca Raton

The North American Numbering Plan (NANP) is a telephone numbering plan whereby a specific geographic area is assigned a prefix. In the case of area code 561, this is for Palm Beach County in the state of Florida, United States. It includes all major cities in the county, such as Boca Raton, West Palm Beach, Wellington, Boyton Beach, Jupiter, Delray Beach and Belle Glade.

The 561 area code was created on May 13, 1996, due to the depletion of the previous 407 area code. In 2002, due to the proliferation of cellular telephones and population growth in the county, the 561 area code was nearly exhausted. For this reason, the northern part of the county, Treasure Coast, acquired a new area code, 772, separating it from the Palm Beach area and 561.
