(562) Area Code Business Phone Numbers
Long Beach and the surrounding Gateway Cities have called the 562 area code home since 1997, when it split off from the 310. A local number here tells customers you're part of the community, not just another faceless company.

The 562 area code covers southeastern Los Angeles County and parts of northern Orange County, with Long Beach as its anchor city. It was carved out of the 310 area code in January 1997 after the region's explosive growth in cell phones and faxes drained available numbers [1]. Today it spans 14 cities from Cerritos down to Seal Beach, each with its own distinct business community.
Long Beach is home to more than 450,000 people and roughly 8,000 businesses, making it the seventh largest city in California [2]. Small businesses account for 52% of jobs in the city, and the Port of Long Beach alone supports over 2.7 million jobs nationwide [3]. That's a lot of commerce happening across one phone number.
When someone in Downey or Lakewood sees a 562 number, they know you're local. That familiarity builds trust faster than a toll-free line ever could. For a plumber in Norwalk, a realtor in Whittier, or a restaurant in Long Beach, a recognizable area code is often the difference between getting the call and getting skipped.
