All 8 area codes in Minnesota
About Area Code 218
Area code 218 has been around since 1947, one of the original codes that helped wire up the country when phones were still a novelty in many homes. Back then, it covered a huge swath of northern Minnesota, from the rugged shores of Lake Superior in Duluth all the way up to the pine-filled forests near International Falls. Picture this: families in Bemidji gathering around the radio while the phone on the wall waits for calls from relatives in Brainerd or Fergus Falls, all connected under this single code.
