Area code 845 covers the mid- and lower Hudson Valley region of New York.
Area code 329 is an overlay for the 845 area code, meaning it serves the same geographic region. Area code 845 was created on June 5, 2000. Area code 329 entered service on March 24, 2023. Ten-digit dialing is required in this area.
The lower Hudson Valley and Catskills - Newburgh, Poughkeepsie, and Spring Valley - are served by the 845 area code, a region where military prestige, corporate history, and regional healthcare intersect. West Point Academy officials, IBM support lines, Garnet Health nurses, and Legoland New York guest services are among the most recognizable callers.
