[[File:Area codes LA.png|thumb|right|'''Area code 225''']]<br />
'''Area code 225''' is a telephone [[area code]] in the [[North American Numbering Plan]] (NANP) for the southern part of the [[U.S. state]] of [[Louisiana]], which includes the entire nine-[[parishes of Louisiana|parish]] [[Baton Rouge metropolitan area]]. The area code was created in August 1998 in an [[area code split]] from [[area code 504]].<ref>North American Numbering Plan Administrator, ''Planning Letter PL-NANP-123'', (June 9, 1998)</ref> The area code was Louisiana's third area code, and the first new area code in the state in forty-one years.<br />
<br />
The numbering plan area (NPA) comprises the parishes of [[Ascension Parish, Louisiana|Ascension]], [[East Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana|East Baton Rouge]], [[East Feliciana Parish, Louisiana|East Feliciana]], [[Iberville Parish, Louisiana|Iberville]], [[Livingston Parish, Louisiana|Livingston]], [[Pointe Coupee Parish, Louisiana|Pointe Coupee]], [[St. Helena Parish, Louisiana|St. Helena]], [[St. James Parish, Louisiana|St. James]], [[West Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana|West Baton Rouge]] and [[West Feliciana Parish, Louisiana|West Feliciana]].<br />
<br />
On a standard telephone keypad, the numbers 2-2-5 correspond to the letters C-A-J, a nod to the area's [[Cajun]] heritage.{{cn|date=November 2021}} The area code has become part of the regional identity for the Baton Rouge metropolitan area, to the extent that a local news magazine was named ''225'', published by Louisiana Business Inc.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.225batonrouge.com/circulation | title=Circulation }}</ref><br />
