The numbering plan area includes the city of Louisville, its suburbs, and the state capital, Frankfort.
Area code 502 was one of the first established in October 1947, initially intended for the entire state of Kentucky.
Parts of Hardin and Meade counties are also served by this area code,[4] specifically: Besides Louisville and Frankfort, other cities within the 502 area code boundary include Georgetown, Shelbyville, and Bardstown.
Current projections suggest that an additional area code will be necessary in north-central Kentucky by late 2026 or early 2027.
