Boundaries of Area Code 913
When area code 785 took away most of the geographic territory of area code 913, Wyandotte and most of Anderson, Linn, Miami, Johnson, Leavenworth, and Atchison counties kept 913. It is also interesting to note that the City of Elwood (surrounded on 3 sides by Missouri) retained the 913 area code, despite the rest of Doniphan County switching to the 785 area code.
When area code 913 covered all of northern Kansas, the boundary ran from west to east roughly following a path along Kansas Routes 4 and 96 from the Colorado state line eastward. The code boundary dipped along Interstate 135 in McPherson County and continued east to just north of Emporia in Lyon County along the Kansas Turnpike, and then all the way to the Missouri state line.

“Hollywood keeps before its child audiences a string of glorified young heroes, everyone of whom is an unhesitating and violent Anarchist. His one answer to everything that annoys him or disparages his country or his parents or his young lady or his personal code of manly conduct is to give the offender a “sock” in the jaw.... My observation leads me to believe that it is not the virtuous people who are good at socking jaws.”
