This is a list of area codes in Connecticut:
- 203 - Covering southwestern Connecticut (Fairfield County (except for Sherman); New Haven County, and the towns of Bethlehem, Woodbury, as well as a small part of Roxbury in Litchfield County.)
- 475 - Overlaid 203 in December 2009.
- 860 - Northern and southeastern Connecticut
- 959 - Overlays 860; date TBD
In 1999, Connecticut announced that there would be two additional codes to be implemented when needed: 475, which would overlay 203; and 959, which would overlay 860. In March 2009, NANPA announced that Area Code 475 would overlay 203 in December 2009. Effective November 14, 2009, all calls originating from area code 203 or 860 must be dialed with 10 digits beginning with the area code, including calls within the same area code.

“Shea—they call him Scholar Jack—
Went down the list of the dead.
Officers, seamen, gunners, marines,
The crews of the gig and yawl,
The bearded man and the lad in his teens,
Carpenters, coal-passers—all.”
—Joseph I. C. Clarke (1846–1925)
“We saw the machinery where murderers are now executed. Seven have been executed. The plan is better than the old one. It is quietly done. Only a few, at the most about thirty or forty, can witness [an execution]. It excites nobody outside of the list permitted to attend. I think the time for capital punishment has passed. I would abolish it. But while it lasts this is the best mode.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“Prosperous farmers mean more employment, more prosperity for the workers and the business men of ... every industrial area in the whole country.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
“We must trust infinitely to the beneficent necessity which shines through all laws. Human nature expresses itself in them as characteristically as in statues, or songs, or railroads, and an abstract of the codes of nations would be an abstract of the common conscience.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
