The 818 area code entered service on January 7,1984, Area code 626 was split from it on June 14,1997. In November 1999, it was proposed that at some date, a new 747 area code would split from 818. Public hearings were held, and the public sentiment was for an overlay rather than the split. The new 747 area code would be used for numbers associated with new service, on April 24,2008, the CPUC decided that area code 747 would overlay area code 818 effective May 18,2009. From that date, new numbers could be assigned to the new area code, callers within the 818 and 747 area codes would be required to dial 1 plus the area code for all calls. There was a period starting October 11,2008 during which callers could still complete calls using the seven-digit number. Beginning April 18,2009, calls would need to be dialed with 1 plus the area code, the first telephone number block to be assigned to area code 747 became effective on October 11,2009.

The 2nd millennium was a period of time began on January 1,1001. It was the period of one thousand years in the Anno Domini or Common Era. The Julian calendar was used in Europe at the beginning of the millennium, so the end date is always calculated according to the Gregorian calendar, but the beginning date is usually according to the Julian calendar. Stephen Jay Gould argued that it is not possible to decide if the millennium ended on December 31,1999, or December 31,2000. The second millennium is perhaps more popularly thought of as beginning and ending a year earlier, thus starting at the beginning of 1000 and finishing at the end of 1999. Many public celebrations for the end of the millennium were held on December 31,1999 – January 1, the civilizations in this section are organized according to the UN geoscheme.
