History

Prior to 1996, 317 covered all of Central Indiana. Eventually, population growth and increased number demand necessitated a split for the region. Beginning on February 1, 1997, with mandatory dialing effective June 28, the greater Indianapolis area retained 317 and the remainder of Central Indiana split off into area code 765.[1] The creation of 765 came amid some fanfare, as it was Indiana's first new area code in 49 years.

gollark: So you can make self-extracting zips and other such madness.
gollark: Shellscripts are, somewhat relatedly, very weird and run line-by-line, so you can just stick some binary data at the bottom and as long as you exit before the interpreter hits it it somehow works.
gollark: Parseable without executing it, though, is different.

gollark: I heard that Perl was actually unparseable since the form of some construct or other depended on information only available at runtime.
