You think that's impressive? Area code 305 was assigned to Miami because that's the number Pitbull shouts out in all his songs

Volusia county, the county just north of It, is 386. They chose those numbers because they spell out “fun”, and Volusia county’s beaches were known as the fun county beaches.
