About 931 Area Code
Area code 931 serves Middle Tennessee in a horseshoe shape surrounding the Nashville metro area. Created on September 15, 1997 as a split from the overburdened 615 area code, 931 covers Clarksville, Columbia, Cookeville, Tullahoma, Shelbyville, McMinnville and smaller communities across 28 counties. The region includes Fort Campbell on the Kentucky border, Tennessee State University in McMinnville, and Austin Peay State University in Clarksville, creating a diverse economic landscape that mixes military presence, manufacturing, education and agriculture.
Clarksville anchors the 931 economy as one of Tennessee's fastest-growing cities, driven by Fort Campbell (the state's largest employer with over 30,000 active-duty soldiers and 8,500 civilian employees), advanced manufacturing from companies like LG Chem, Hankook Tire, Trane Company and Bridgestone America, and Austin Peay State University with 11,000 students. Local businesses use 931 numbers for customer support, appointment scheduling, logistics coordination and sales outreach because regional recognition drives higher answer rates than toll-free or out-of-state alternatives in communities where military families, students and long-term residents value local connection.
FoneSwift lists live 931 inventory with Voice, SMS and MMS capabilities displayed in search results. Parts of the 931 region span both Central and Eastern time zones, so businesses targeting multiple locations should verify timezone for each operation. If specific 931 numbers are unavailable, nearby codes like 615 (Nashville), 629 (Nashville overlay), 423 (Chattanooga) or 865 (Knoxville) can extend your reach across Tennessee while maintaining state-level presence.
If your business targets Clarksville or Middle Tennessee, display numbers in both standard and international formats for maximum accessibility. Register A2P messaging if running SMS campaigns to comply with carrier requirements. Porting your existing 931 number preserves customer recognition and brand continuity. Military families stationed at Fort Campbell often maintain 931 numbers even after reassignment, reflecting the area code's role as an anchor for a highly mobile community.

Split from 615
Area code 931 was created in 1997 when the 615 area code became exhausted due to rapid growth in Middle Tennessee. The split allowed Nashville to retain 615 while giving surrounding communities a distinct identity.
Fort Campbell connection
Fort Campbell straddles the Tennessee-Kentucky border and is the state's largest employer. The 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), known as the Screaming Eagles, is headquartered there and drives significant economic activity in the 931 region.
Two time zones
The 931 area code is one of the few in North America that spans two time zones. Most of the area follows Central Time, but portions of eastern counties like Cumberland and Fentress observe Eastern Time.
Manufacturing boom
Clarksville has attracted billions in manufacturing investment from LG Chem (cathode plant), Hankook Tire, and Japanese companies like T.RAD, transforming the city into a major industrial hub within the 931 region.
Horseshoe coverage pattern
Area code 931 forms a distinctive horseshoe shape around the Nashville metro area, creating one of the most geographically unusual area code configurations in the country as it encircles but excludes the capital city.
Fastest-growing region
Clarksville has doubled in population since 1995 and is on track to become Tennessee's fourth-largest city. The rapid growth driven by Fort Campbell, manufacturing investment and proximity to Nashville has made 931 one of the state's most dynamic area codes.
