About the 213 area code
Area code 213 covers downtown Los Angeles, California and the central neighborhoods around it, including Koreatown, Chinatown, Little Tokyo, and the Arts District. It is one of the original area codes from 1947 and once covered all of southern California. Decades of splits carved off 714, 805, 818, 310, and 562, and the 1998 split of 323 left 213 with only the urban core. Locals regard 213 as the original LA number, the one with the longest history in the city.
A business with a 213 number reads as downtown Los Angeles to customers across the metro, and it carries a certain prestige because so few of them exist. Since 2017, 213 and 323 have been a single overlay covering central LA, so new numbers in either code serve the same area and customers treat both as core LA. It suits consultants, event planners, salons, and contractors working downtown and the surrounding neighborhoods, where a local caller ID gets answered.
