Map of California area codes in blue (and border states) with 909 in red

North American Area code 909 is a California telephone area code which was split from area code 714 on November 14, 1992. It originally encompassed eastern San Bernardino County and all of Riverside County. The areas east of the San Gorgonio Pass and northeast of the San Bernardino Mountains were moved into area code 760 on March 22, 1997, and western Riverside County was split off from 909 into area code 951 on July 17, 2004. 909 still covers small portions of Corona, Riverside, and Moreno Valley which are in Riverside County.

The 909 area code now covers far eastern Los Angeles County and southwestern San Bernardino County, California.

The 909

The 909 [ISBN 0975305239] by Jim Stewart is a novel which chronicles the trials and tribulations of a group of young adults living in Inland Southern California.

909er

The term 909er is often used disparagingly by Los Angeles and Orange County residents, as a shorthand reference to someone from the "Inland Empire" area, even those who live in the newly designated area code 951. It has entered national popular culture through television series like The O.C. as a reference to the poorer, hotter, and more rural inland regions in contrast to the suburban and wealthy Los Angeles and Orange County. Despite the negative stigma associated with it, the area code encompasses cities such as Claremont, Diamond Bar, and Walnut, which are some of Los Angeles' most affluent suburbs. (Pardon the defensive tone.) It also is home to the Bro, famous for their big trucks and flat billed hats. The Inland Empire also has Claremont Colleges, which include some of the top liberal arts colleges in the country. In terms of the Inland Empire, Rancho Cucamonga, Chino Hills and Redlands are considered amongst the most affluent communities as well. Under the traditional NANPA plan, 909 would be considered the "worst" area coded for pulse dialers, because of the length of time to send the pulse signal, in contrast to area codes such as 212 or 213.
