What time is it in area code 351?
Area code 351 is in the Eastern time zone: UTC−5 in winter and UTC−4 while daylight saving time is in effect. Clocks go forward on 8 March 2026 and back on 1 November 2026. When it is 9 am in 351, it is 8 am Central, 7 am Mountain and 6 am Pacific – so a 9 am call from here reaches the west coast before the working day starts there. The code's largest rate centers are ACTON, LOWELL and DANVERS, as NANPA abbreviates them. Other codes keeping the same time in Massachusetts: 339, 413, 508, 617, 774, 781, 857 and 978.
Clocks run in your browser from the IANA time zone database, so they stay right between page rebuilds.

Questions about 351 and time
What time is it in area code 351?
The clock above shows it live. 351 keeps Eastern time, UTC−5 in winter and UTC−4 in summer.
Does area code 351 observe daylight saving time?
Yes. Clocks go forward on 8 March 2026 and back on 1 November 2026.
Is 351 the same time as New York?
Yes – both keep Eastern time.
Why does a 351 caller reach me at an odd hour?
Two common reasons. Either the clocks differ by more than you expected – the offset changes twice a year and not everywhere on the same date – or the caller ID is not really 351 at all. Spam callers fake a local-looking number, so the displayed code says nothing about where the call came from.
