'Area code 321' is the
area code serving
Brevard County, Florida. It has been in use since
November 1,
1999, and was assigned to the area (after a successful petition drive) due to the
Space Coast's impact on the county (the code, if said properly – 3, 2, 1 – resembles the
countdown which launches the many
spacecraft from
Cape Canaveral). Part of 321 also overlays part of
area code 407 toward
Orlando.
This is currently the only area code in North America that is both the overlay of one established area code, but also the primary area code of another.
