Moved over the county line from Wayne to Macomb and was given 313 as area code in the early 90s. Sometime before we moved from Michigan in 2020 that area code got changed because they were running out of numbers.

Funny thing tho. My sister in Utah requested a 313 area code (for nostalgic reasons) for a new cell phone last year and was able to get it.
