Area code 270 serves western and south-central Kentucky, including cities such as Bowling Green, Paducah, Owensboro, and Hopkinsville. Introduced in 1999 as a split from area code 502, 270 covers a mix of rural counties, college towns, and industrial centers. Bowling Green is a key hub, home to Western Kentucky University and the General Motors Corvette Assembly Plant. The region is also known for agriculture, military installations like Fort Campbell, and a growing number of logistics and manufacturing firms. The area has been overlaid by area code 364 to meet increased demand. With access to major highways and a central location in the southeastern U.S., 270 offers strategic advantages for businesses involved in distribution and supply chain operations. A 270 number ties you to a region known for Southern hospitality, strong workforce values, and a blend of heritage and innovation across Kentucky’s heartland.
