AREA CODE 732

'Area code 732' was created on 1 June 1997, as the result of a split in New Jersey area code 908, and became mandatory on December 6th of that year. Major cities within this code include Asbury Park, Lakewood, Brick Township, Freehold, New Brunswick, City of Long Branch, Perth Amboy, Toms River, and Fair Haven. Area code 848 is an overlay code for this region that was created as the pool of 732 numbers began to diminish drastically
