218 Area Code Details

218 Area Code: A Piece of Northeast Minnesota History

The 218 area code was created in 1951 as a split from the original 212 that once covered all of Minnesota. Today, 218 is exclusively tied to Northeast Minnesota, covering iconic neighborhoods like:

Duluth – the bustling heart of the region

Hibbing – known for its rich history and culture

Virginia – a hub for community and commerce

Grand Rapids – surrounded by natural beauty and vibrant activities

Cloquet – where tradition meets innovation

For generations, 218 has represented Minnesota pride, offering the best of rural life with fast access to neighboring areas.

The 218 area code operates in the Central Time Zone (CT)–the same time zone as Northeast Minnesota. This is important for businesses and professionals who need to stay in sync with local clients, suppliers, and partners. Whether you’re scheduling calls, running local ads, or managing customer support, having a 218 number means you’re aligned with Central Standard Time (CST) in winter and Central Daylight Time (CDT) in summer.

Areas Served by the 218 Code

The 218 area code covers all of Northeast Minnesota, including:

Duluth

Hibbing

Virginia

Grand Rapids

Cloquet

and many more.
