Area code 910 serves southeastern North Carolina, including cities such as Wilmington, Fayetteville, Jacksonville, and Lumberton. Introduced in 1993 as a split from the 919 area code, 910 covers a mix of coastal towns, military communities, and rural areas. Wilmington, with its historic downtown and beach access, anchors the region as a growing port city and cultural hub. Fayetteville is home to Fort Liberty (formerly Fort Bragg), one of the largest U.S. Army installations, giving the area a strong military identity and economy. Jacksonville supports the U.S. Marine Corps at Camp Lejeune, further solidifying the area’s defense ties. The region also includes agricultural areas and parts of the Cape Fear River Basin. In 2022, the 472 overlay was introduced to supplement 910 and support continued growth. Businesses using a 910 number are seen as regional and community-focused, often connected to military or family-oriented services. The area code signifies more than just a number—it reflects a balance of tradition, service, and steady growth in one of North Carolina’s most distinctive coastal regions.
