Question for Macon Residents 1960s (Columbus: area code, area, phone number)

[mdgirlfriend]

Hello

Can anyone provide info re telephone numbers in the city of Macon in the 1960s?

What I'm looking for is a sample phone number from the 1960s

For example: I was a child in Columbus, GA in the 60s and out phone number
then was (404)327-5644.
The area code later changed to 706.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

I need this for a fiction writing project.

The area code for Macon was 912. They were still using exchange names until the early 1960s in Macon. The first one was SHerwood, (912) SH6-5555 or (912) 746-5555. I think later there was another called IVy, (912) IV8-5555 or (912) 788-5555.

In the 70s, I remember most phone numbers exchanges began with either a 74- or 47-.

Hope that helps. Good luck!
