Area code 417 was created in 1950 as the third code in Missouri, primarily from a modification of area code 816 , serving the southwestern quadrant of the state. Despite being home to Springfield, Missouri's third-largest city, 417 is noted as one of the nation's more sparsely populated numbering plan areas.
Southwestern Missouri's 417 area code takes in Springfield, Joplin, and Branson, a region defined by retail giants, healthcare, and tourism. Bass Pro Shops headquarters, O'Reilly Auto Parts corporate, CoxHealth nurses, and Branson show ticket agents are all frequent callers.
