The 860 Area Code was created in 1995 to replace the aging 203 Area Code and covers the eastern, northern and north-western parts of Connecticut.
According to Wikipedia: "The Connecticut Department of Public Utility Control, in August 1999, proposed an area code overlay for the 860 area code; the new area
code was to be 959. This proposal was postponed for nearly a decade due to number conservation measures; in September 2008, it was announced that the 959 area
code will overlay 860 within two years. In March 2009, it was announced that the 203/475 overlay will be activated on December 12, 2009, with the 860/959 overlay
becoming active by 2011. Even though the 959 area code does not have a specific start date, all callers in Connecticut have to dial 10 digits beginning with the
area code (the leading 1- not needed) effective November 14, 2009, to reach another Connecticut number, including one within the same area code."
