Area code 940 serves the State of Texas - particularly the region of Northwest Texas. Texas is one of the West South Central States of United States of America. Major areas served by the particular code are WILBARGER and Denton areas.
The code 940 was created on 7th July 1997 as a result in split of area code 817. Area Code 817 was split off because of the exhausted demands for telephone lines.

Each region is assigned with unique code so that to discard any chance for the phone number being repeated.
