Interesting, so the 305 area code used to be for all of Florida, but was then relegated to the Miami area. I wonder why Miami and not, say, Tallahassee?
When codes are added, the existing area code tends to stay with the major population center. For example, Washington’s 206 is now just for Seattle. The same happened with 801 for Utah/Salt Lake City, 612 for Minnesota/Minneapolis, 503 for Oregon/Portland, etc.
