The 612 area code was created in 1951 as a split from the original 212 that once covered all of Minneapolis. Today, 612 is exclusively tied to Minneapolis, located at the heart of the region. It covers iconic neighborhoods like:
Minneapolis – the bustling heart of the city
Saint Paul – the vibrant, diverse metropolis
Bloomington – home to rich culture and history
Brooklyn Park – a flourishing suburban area
Plymouth – a growing community with family-friendly amenities
For generations, 612 has represented Minnesota pride, offering the best of city life with fast access to all surrounding areas.
The 612 area code operates in the Central Time Zone (CT)–the same time zone as Minneapolis. 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 612 number means you’re aligned with Central Standard Time (CST) in winter and Central Daylight Time (CDT) in summer.
The 612 area code covers all of Minneapolis, including:
Minneapolis
Saint Paul
Bloomington
Brooklyn Park
Plymouth
and many more.
Getting a 612 number gives your calls a familiar, local presence in one of Minnesota’s busiest urban regions. It’s perfect for real estate agents, freelancers, remote workers, and anyone who wants to appear local while staying flexible.
