The red area is the District of Columbia, served by area codes 202 and 771. Area codes 202 and 771 are telephone area codes in the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) for Washington, D.C. Area code 202 was one of the original North American area codes established in October 1947 by AT&T.
Thus, NXX is a number from 200 through 999, while XXXX is a range from 0000 through 9999. The first three digits of a telephone number are the numbering plan area code (NPA code, or simply NPA). The next three, NXX, identify the central office and the last four digits are the line number of an individual office.

For most of the second half of the 20th century, it was possible to dial any number in the metro area with just seven digits.
