The 518 area code was created in 1951 as a split from the original 212 that once covered all of New York. Today, 518 is exclusively tied to Upstate New York, covering iconic cities like:
Albany – the vibrant capital of the state
Saratoga Springs – famous for its historic horse racing track
Glens Falls – known for its beautiful scenery and outdoor activities
For generations, 518 has represented Upstate New York pride, offering the best of city life with fast access to all surrounding areas.
The 518 area code operates in the Eastern Time Zone (ET)–the same time zone as Upstate New York. 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 518 number means you’re aligned with Eastern Standard Time (EST) in winter and Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) in summer.
The 518 area code covers all of Upstate New York, including:
Albany
Saratoga Springs
Glens Falls
and many more.
Getting a 518 number gives your calls a familiar, local presence in one of New York’s beautiful regions. It’s perfect for real estate agents, freelancers, remote workers, and anyone who wants to appear local while staying flexible.
