There are many things Miami is proud of but the 305 area code tops the chart. Do you know why? Well, because Pitbull said so on one of his songs called the “305 Anthem”.

“Hey, 305 till I die, hey, 305 till I die
Hey, 305 till I die, hey, 305 till I die
Hey, 305 till I die, hey, 305 till I die
Hey, 305 till I die, hey, 305 till I die
Hey, 305 till I die, hey, 305 till I die
Hey, 305 till I die, hey, 305 till I die”

Even though they are proud of their pool parties, strip clubs, and happy hours. Miami is the 305 because that’s the city’s original area code. 305 Is One of the Most In-Demand Area Codes in the Country and everybody who was anybody in Miami had a 305 number. Even Pitbull loves to call himself  the “Mr. 305.”
