The yellow pages are any telephone directory of businesses, organized by category rather than alphabetically by business name, and in which advertising is sold. The directories were originally printed on yellow paper, as opposed to white pages for non-commercial listings.

The name and concept of "yellow pages" came about in 1883, when a printer in Cheyenne, Wyoming, working on a regular telephone directory ran out of white paper and used yellow paper instead. In 1886, Reuben H. Donnelley created the first official Yellow Pages directory.

The main difference between the white pages and yellow pages is that the yellow pages contain business phone numbers only. The white pages only have residential phone number listings. The yellow pages were organized by type of service in a geographical area and then alphabetically.
