289 AREA CODE NUMBER: LOCATION, CITIES, MAP AND TIME ZONE

 

The 289 area code is one of several overlay codes that have been implemented in Southern Ontario to help accommodate the growing phone traffic in the region. An overlay area code is the practice of creating a new area code by assigning it to an existing numbering plan area to supplement or in rare cases replace, an existing area code.

 

Area code 289 was first introduced in 2000. As the area covered by the code it overlaid, area code 905, was very close to exhaustion it came at just the right time, although it proved hard to implement at first as locals did not want their very familiar 905 area code numbers ‘taken away’ from them. Eventually they came to terms with the idea though and even with the introduction of yet another overlay code, 365. And with all three codes set to exhaust completely by 2025 new ones are already being discussed.

 

The towns, cities and villages making use of the 289 area code for their telephones as well as other things that call for the assignment of a phone number, including fax machines, ATMs and POS payment terminals covers a wide range of sizes, populations and characteristics and includes all of the following:

Quite the exhaustive list isn’t it, and quite a varied one too. To help you better understand just what the area code 289 represents let’s take a closer look at some of the communities in it:

 

• Niagara Falls – The city of Niagara Falls, Ontario, is of course dominated by the huge and iconic waterfalls of the same name. The Falls themselves consist of three different waterfalls; the Horseshoe Falls, the American Falls and the Bridal Veil Falls. Two of them – Bridal Falls and the American Falls, are actually located on the American side of the border, with the Horseshoe Falls being physically located in Ontario.

 

It’s considered however that you get the best views of all three falls from the Canadian ‘side’ and from the city of Niagara Falls, so the majority of the folks on sightseeing trips make Niagara Falls, Ontario, not Niagara Falls, New York, which is in fact a completely different city, despite sharing the same name.

 

The presence of the Falls in Niagara Falls, Ontario creates a great many jobs in the tourism, entertainment and hospitality industries but that is not all there is to this section of the 289 area code.  Gambling was legalized in the city years ago and so the casinos also employ a diverse range of people. Add to that the fact that the legal age to drink is 19, as opposed to 21 just over the border in the US and it’s not hard to see why staying on the Canadian side of the magnificent Falls is a more appealing prospect to many than the New York side, and why the 289 area code has become synonymous with them and all of the associated attractions.

 

• Hamilton – Known officially as the City of Hamilton since 2001 this bustling and thriving city is a hub of history, tourism and maritime industry. Named for its founder, a gentleman farmer named George Hamilton, the metropolitan area associated with Hamilton and the 289 area code is the ninth largest in Canada and the third largest in Ontario.

 

Much of the economy in Hamilton supported by manufacturing. 60% of Canada’s steel is produced there. The largest steel company in the area, Dofasco, is the biggest and highest revenue generating steel concern in North America and one of the largest in the world.

 

The wide range of historical sites and points of interest, as well as cultural centres does mean that tourism and retail are playing bigger roles in the health of the local economy in the 21st century.  The Hamilton Conservation Authority owns, leases or manages 4,500 hectares of green space in the city, meaning that the opportunities for outdoor recreation are plentiful. The Royal Botanical Gardens, created almost a century ago, are not only beautiful but also a crucial bird and plant biodiversity hotspot for Canada and one of its most popular such attractions.

 

• Newmarket – Newmarket, Ontario began its life as a picturesque village centered around the charmingly named Fairy Lake, a place where a prominent Ontario businessman, Elisha Beman, established both a mill and a distillery that comfortably supported residents for decades.

 

The industrial boom in Toronto in the 1950’s changed all of that though. The once small village became a bedroom community housing the overspill of workers from ‘the big city’, and the growth has been big. Back in 1950 only 5,000 residents called Hamilton home, while today 84,224 do! It’s for this reason that Newmarket is one of the biggest utilizers of the 289 area code.

 

 

The 289 Area Code and Business

 

The 289 area code covers geographical locations that are considered to be some of the ‘hottest’ in the Ontario real estate market and they are also thriving business centres in their own right. This means that area code 289 is one that denotes success and growth, at least from a business point of view.

 

Ever since they were introduced in 1947, area codes across North America have become an increasingly important part of a business’ overall brand and identity. An area code is more than a three-digit number, it’s a connection to the communities covered by it and that can be an incredible trust and reputation builder across all kinds of industries and business niches.
