531 area code summary
Area code 531 is an overlay for the 402 region in eastern Nebraska, covering cities such as Omaha, Lincoln, and surrounding areas. Introduced in 2011 to meet increasing demand, 531 supports the same footprint as 402, the state's original area code. Omaha, the largest city in Nebraska, is a financial and transportation powerhouse, home to the headquarters of Fortune 500 companies such as Berkshire Hathaway, Union Pacific, and Mutual of Omaha. Lincoln, the state capital, is a major center for education and state government, anchored by the University of Nebraska. The region has a strong economy built on insurance, tech, logistics, and agriculture. A 531 number connects your business to the commercial and political heart of Nebraska and carries all the credibility of the more established 402 region.
