409 area code summary

Area code 409 serves the southeastern portion of Texas, including the Gulf Coast region and cities like Galveston, Beaumont, Port Arthur, and Texas City. Established in 1983, the region has deep roots in the energy industry—especially oil refining and petrochemicals—as well as shipping, fishing, and port logistics. Galveston brings historic charm and beach tourism, while Beaumont and Port Arthur house major refineries and transport terminals. The region is also prone to hurricanes, which has shaped both its infrastructure and community resilience. With proximity to Houston but a distinct coastal identity, the 409 area is ideal for businesses in energy, real estate, logistics, or marine services. A 409 number signals local reach along Texas’s industrial Gulf Coast and resonates with both residents and regional contractors.
