California is an incredibly exciting state, packed with diversity (we’re talking 27% of Californians being foreign born) and a ton of history. It's the home of tech giants in Silicon Valley and offers some stunning views along the Pacific Coast. As the third largest state in America, California has a lot to offer.
Now, let’s look at Los Angeles, the most populous city in California and the heart of the 323 area code. LA is the second most populous city in the US, with 3.8 million people. It's known worldwide as the entertainment capital, boasting attractions like Hollywood Boulevard, Santa Monica Pier, the Walk of Fame, Beverly Hills, and the Venice Boardwalk.
Here are some fun facts from the LA County website:
- If Los Angeles County were a nation, its economy would be the 19th largest in the world!
- It’s home to more than 244,000 businesses, with more minority- and women-owned businesses than anywhere else in the country. It’s also the nation’s top center for international trade and manufacturing.
Area code 323 covers Los Angeles and a few surrounding cities. It’s in the Pacific Time Zone, perfect for syncing up with all your west coast colleagues. This area code was brought in by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) as an overlay for the 213 area code, so it shares some of the same spots.
Besides Los Angeles, where is area code 323 located? Here are a few cities and areas it covers:
- Bell
- East Los Angeles
- Florence-Graham
- Huntington Park
- Montebello
- South Gate
- Westmont
