Cities in area code 270
These are the cities and communities covered by 270 in Kentucky. "Covered" means the locality is a rate center holding 270 prefixes; the largest are Owensboro, Bowling Green, Paducah.
Owensboro, Bowling Green, Paducah, Elizabethtown, Madisonville, Henderson, Hopkinsville and Murray hold the largest prefix inventories; and 161 smaller communities down to single-prefix localities. Each locality below links to its rate-center page with the full prefix list.
7 of the localities fall within FCC top-100 metropolitan statistical areas; the rest are smaller communities.
46 of these localities are also reachable through other area codes — overlay territory where the same place answers to several codes.
All of the code's territory keeps Eastern or Central time — one of the rare NANP codes straddling a zone boundary, so check the locality before assuming the hour.
Remember that people keep numbers when they relocate, so a 270 number is a where-it-was-issued fact, not a where-they-are fact.
