Back when the entire SGV had the 213 area code, people in the SGV did not have the same geographical identity that they do today, as it was a bunch of suburbs that lacked a common bond. When the SFV and SGV became 818, that identity grew since, both valleys were separate from 213, and when the SGV earned its exclusive area code, there was finally something to unify the SGV, which sparked today's SGV identity.

My only thought is that it's strange and a confusing to split West Hollywood down the middle.
