Area codes 234 and 330 were originally part of [[area code 216]], one of the original North American Numbering Plan codes. Some of the first 234 numbers were assigned in 2003, when a new [[FedEx]] Custom Critical office opened on Boettler Road in [[Green, Ohio]].<ref>{{cite news|title=CALL FOR MORE TELEPHONE NUMBERS ANSWERED - 234 AREA CODE CONNECTED MOST PEOPLE ARE STILL BEING ASSIGNED 330 NUMBERS|last=Lin-Fisher|first=Betty|date=October 31, 2003|work=Akron Beacon Journal|publisher=Knight Ridder|page=D1|url=http://infoweb.newsbank.com/iw-search/we/InfoWeb?p_product=NewsBank&p_theme=aggregated5&p_action=doc&p_docid=0FE8E517C5F41E33&p_docnum=1&p_queryname=2}}</ref>
Area code 234 was planned to become the area code for the [[Jacksonville, Florida]] area, but local businesses and the [[Federal Communications Commission]] split the existing area code, [[area code 904|904]], into area codes [[area code 850|850]] and [[area code 386|386]].<ref>{{cite news
