About the 973 area code
The 973 area code covers northern New Jersey — Newark, Paterson, and Morristown. 973 split from 201 in 1997 and covers Newark and its suburbs. For Essex and Morris County businesses, it's the code customers know as local. For a business, a 973 number signals a local presence — customers in Newark are far more likely to answer a call or reply to a text from a number they recognize as local.
