Area code 808
The 808 telephone area code covers the inhabited, developed and uninhabited areas of the Hawaiian Islands out to Midway Island and Wake Island. 808 was issued as Hawaii's area code in 1957, not long before its statehood in August 1959.
Slightly over 1.3 million people live in Hawaii. Despite the state's rapid growth and the proliferation of cell phones, a single area code is projected to be enough to serve the state until at least the first quarter of 2045.
Marcus Mariota, quarterback for the Las Vegas Raiders football team and 2014 Heisman Trophy winner, had a special facemask honoring the 808 area code while playing with the University of Oregon.
