On February 1, 1984, the New York State Public Service Commission (NYPSC) voted to split New York City into 2 area codes. Manhattan and The Bronx would continue to use 212, and Queens, Brooklyn, and Staten Island would be designated 718. All subscribers in the new 718 area would keep their 7 digit number but with a 718 area code. The cutover date for phone numbers in the new area code was set for September 1, 1984.
This riso-printed sheet comprises archival research and images to accompany the 212/718 shirt.
