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.
The 218 area code covers all of Northeast Minnesota, including:
Duluth
Hibbing
Virginia
Grand Rapids
Cloquet
and many more.
Getting a 218 number gives your calls a familiar, local presence in one of Minnesota’s beautiful regions. It’s perfect for real estate agents, freelancers, remote workers, and anyone who wants to appear local while staying flexible.
