North American Area Code 530 is a California telephone area code that covers Auburn, Chico, Colfax, Davis, Grass Valley, Marysville, Oroville, Placerville, Redding, Red Bluff, Susanville, Truckee, Woodland and Yuba City.
530 was created on Nov. 1, 1997, when it was split from the 916 area code. On the same day, the Dixon exchange was moved from Sacramento LATA to San Francisco LATA and from the 916 area code to 707.
Fair warning: at some distance from your land-line toll charges will be billed by the phone company. For instance, a call to Oroville from Chico may cause a toll charge but most certainly you will be charged for a call to Davis. Generally, the distance at which a phone call will be charged is if the line you are calling is in a community more than 12 miles away. This is not a door-to-door measurement, but from "Rate Center" to "Rate Center" (a predetermined point around the middle of a given town). That means that calls to Paradise numbers are free from Chico landlines, whereas Oroville numbers are not. When in doubt, look in the front of your phone book, or check out AT&T's online phone book for a list of prefixes that are within the local calling area.
