About the 805 area code
Area code 805 covers California's central coast, from Ventura County north through Santa Barbara County to San Luis Obispo County. It was created in 1957 and includes Oxnard, Thousand Oaks, Simi Valley, Ventura, Santa Barbara, Santa Maria, San Luis Obispo, and Paso Robles. The region has adopted the code as a badge of identity: 805 appears on hats, stickers, and local brands, and residents use it as shorthand for the whole coast. Kern County and Bakersfield split off to 661 in 1999.
A business with an 805 number signals central coast roots to customers who are proud of the region and quick to distinguish it from Los Angeles. It suits contractors, landscapers, cleaning companies, real estate agents, and event and wedding vendors serving the wine country and coastal towns. The 820 overlay has shared the same territory since 2018 and customers see it as local too, but 805 is the code the region has made its own. It works from Simi Valley to Paso Robles.
