The 905 area code has produced some of the most well-known bands in Canadian Music in recent years. Nestled between the surrounding areas of Toronto, Ontario, Canada and Buffalo, New York, USA, the area code is made up of large cities Hamilton, Brampton, Burlington, Oshawa, Whitby, Oakville, Mississauga and St. Catharines and smaller cities and towns such as Richmond Hill, Newmarket, Milton and Stoney Creek. For a full list of cities in the 905 area code, see the 905 area code article.
