In 1997,Oakland County,bordering Macomb County to the west, was split from area code 810 asarea code 248.Area code 586 was first proposed as anoverlayfor the 810 territory, to be implemented in 2000.[1]However, overlays were still a new concept at this time, and met with some resistance due to the need forten-digit dialing.In the face of intense opposition to the overlay proposal, 586 was instead implemented as a split, with most of Macomb County getting the new area code. The area code was introduced on September 22, 2001.Permissive dialingof 810 continued until March 23, 2002.[2]
