'''Area code 574''' is a telephone [[area code]] in the [[North American Numbering Plan]] (NANP) for the northern part of the [[U.S. state]] of [[Indiana]]. It was created in a three-way [[area code split]] from [[area code 219]] in 2002.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
In 1947, [[American Telephone and Telegraph]] (AT&T) published the [[original North American area codes|first configuration of proposed numbering plan areas]] (NPAs) for a new nationwide numbering and toll call routing system. Indiana was divided to receive two area codes. [[Area code 317]] served the northern two-thirds of Indiana, while [[area code 812]] served the southern third. In the first change of the original plan in 1948, 317 was cut back to central Indiana, while the northern third of Indiana, including Gary, Hammond, East Chicago, [[South Bend, Indiana|South Bend]], [[Elkhart, Indiana|Elkhart]] and [[Fort Wayne]], received area code 219.<ref>[http://telecomindiana.com/indiana1947.html Telecom Indiana, ''Telecom Information for Indiana, Chicago, and Beyond'']</ref><br />
<br />
The northern third of Indiana was served by area code 219 for 54 years. By the end of the 20th century, 219 was on the verge of exhaustion of central office prefixes. The decision was made to implement a three-way split of the 219 territory. As the result of a random drawing, the middle portion, surrounding South Bend, received area code 574. The eastern portion ([[Fort Wayne]]) became [[area code 260]], while [[Northwest Indiana]] retained 219. The area codes split on January 15, 2002, with [[permissive dialing]] continuing until June 14, 2002.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sbc.com/gen/general?pid%3D1718%26phase%3Dcheck |access-date=August 8, 2006 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060822232357/http://www.sbc.com/gen/general?pid=1718 |archive-date=August 22, 2006 |title=AT&T - Area Code History - Indiana }} SBC information.

Prior to October 2021, area code 574 had telephone numbers assigned for the [[central office code]] 988. In 2020, ''988'' was designated nationwide as a dialing code for the [[National Suicide Prevention Lifeline]], which created a conflict for exchanges that permit [[seven-digit dialing]]. This area code was therefore scheduled to transition to [[ten-digit dialing]] by October 24, 2021.<ref name="pl556">{{cite web|url=https://nationalnanpa.com/pdf/PL_556.pdf|date=January 8, 2021|publisher=North American Numbering Plan Administrator |title=Transition to 10-digit dialing (for 988 as 3-digit access to National Suicide Prevention Hotline)|access-date=March 9, 2021}}</ref><br />
