About 914 Area Code
Area code 914 serves Westchester County and the Lower Hudson Valley in New York. One of the original 86 area codes established in October 1947, 914 covers major communities including White Plains, Yonkers, New Rochelle, Mount Vernon, Scarsdale, Rye and Tarrytown across Westchester, Putnam, Rockland and portions of Dutchess counties. The code supports local voice and SMS-capable numbers used by biotech firms, financial services companies, professional services, healthcare providers and corporate headquarters throughout one of America's most affluent suburban regions.
The 914 region anchors New York State's largest life sciences cluster (accounting for 20% of the state's biotech jobs), Fortune 500 headquarters including PepsiCo, Regeneron, Mastercard and IBM, financial services firms, and healthcare systems. The county has a median household income of $118,411 and more than 170 corporate headquarters generating over $1 billion in annual payroll.

If your business targets Westchester County or the Lower Hudson Valley, publish numbers in both local and E.164 formats (e.g., (914) 555-1234 and +1 914 555 1234) and register messaging traffic if you plan A2P campaigns.
