Area codes were developed in the 1940's by Bell Labs and AT&T. This plan was called the north American Numbering Plan and included The US and Canada. States were give a number with a zero in the middle and states that had more than one area code were given three digit numbers with 1 in the middle. MetroBoston got 617. Highly populated areas had low numbers and lower populated got higher numbers.
