Area Code 458
The Oregon Public Utility Commission approved a number overlay with area code 458 for the entire area, resulting in mandatory 10-digit dialing for that area. Oregon's other area code overlay, (503/971), already had this requirement. Ten-digit dialing was phased in beginning in July 2009, with it becoming mandatory in January 2010. The first exchange to be issued in the 458 area code was 205 in Eugene in August 2011.

“Prestige is the shadow of money and power. Where these are, there it is. Like the national market for soap or automobiles and the enlarged arena of federal power, the national cash-in area for prestige has grown, slowly being consolidated into a truly national system.”
—C. Wright Mills (1916–1962)
“Motion or change, and identity or rest, are the first and second secrets of nature: Motion and Rest. The whole code of her laws may be written on the thumbnail, or the signet of a ring.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
