I think that was the local exchange. I grew up in Fremont, OH and we were always FEderal 2, which changed to 332, my grandmother in WV was SKyline-X<- don't remember the number. I remember my dad making the call as it was operator assisted and you told her or him the city you wanted and the number using the word and 5 digit phone number. For years everyone in the 332 exchange you could just dial 2-1234 and get you party.
