This trio of digits is no longer just a telephone area code. It’s an identity.
The 412 is a catchy moniker for all things Pittsburgh and April 12 is the natural day to celebrate it. Nothing seems to legitimize a trend more than a social media hashtag so #412Day was born.
Our sports teams are on board.
No better city in the world.

The 412 area code was first born in 1947 but the current 412 footprint was established in 1998. It includes Pittsburgh in its entirety and other surrounding communities in Allegheny County.
Now it’s an official thing:
Happy #412Day, #Pittsburgh! We made it official in 2018 with a special Proclamation by Mayor @billpeduto in partnership with @Shop412.
