North American area code 623 is a state of Arizona telephone area
code which was created in a split from area code 602 on April 1,
1999, when it was deemed that the Greater Phoenix metropolitan area
could no longer continue with just one area code due to its explosive
growth in the 1990s. The west side and the western half of the far
north side became 623, while the eastern suburbs and the Phoenix
neighborhood of Ahwatukee became area code 480.
623 covers areas such as Glendale (except the section north of the
Arizona Canal and south of Union Hills, which is still 602), Peoria
(except northwest near Vistancia and Lake Pleasant), Sun City, Sun
City West, El Mirage, Surprise, Youngtown, Avondale, Tolleson,
Goodyear, and Buckeye, as well as some of west Phoenix, specifically
the city north of Union Hills and west of the 2000 E Grid, south of the
Arizona Canal from 43rd Ave to 39th Ave, west of 39th Ave from the
Arizona Canal south to Maryland Ave, along 43rd Ave from Maryland
to Indian School, diagonally southwest from 43rd Ave & Indian School
to 63rd Ave & Interstate 10, then south along 63rd Ave to the Salt
River and then the Gila River Indian Reservation.
