Area code 218 is one of the two original telephone numbering plan codes for Minnesota, though it has been modified since inception. A telephone numbering plan is a plan for allocating Telephone number ranges to countries regions areas and exchanges and to non-fixed telephone networks Minnesota ( Native Americans demonstrated the name to early settlers By area, the region is the largest area code in the state, covering roughly the northern half and including cities such as Duluth, Hibbing, Brainerd, Bemidji, and Moorhead. Duluth is a Port City in the US state of Minnesota and the County seat of St Hibbing is a city in St Louis County, Minnesota, USA. The population was 17071 at the 2000 census. Brainerd is a city in Crow Wing County, Minnesota, United States. Bemidji (bəˈmɪdʒiː is a city in Beltrami County, Minnesota, United States. Moorhead is a city in Clay County, Minnesota, United States, and the largest city in northwest Minnesota

According to a 1947 map of the North American Numbering Plan (NANP), the region was originally "r"-shaped and covered about two-thirds of the state. Year 1947 ( MCMXLVII) was a Common year starting on Wednesday (link will display full 1947 calendar of the Gregorian calendar. Area code 612 covered the remaining southeastern portion of the state. Area code 612 is the Telephone numbering plan code for the city of Minneapolis Minnesota and a few surrounding areas such as Fort Snelling and Richfield The shape was modified to roughly coincide with its current shape in 1954 when area code 507 was created to stretch across the southern fifth of Minnesota. Year 1954 ( MCMLIV) was a Common year starting on Friday (link will display full 1954 Gregorian calendar) Area code 507 is the Telephone numbering plan code for the southern 1/5th of Minnesota, including cities such as Rochester, Mankato, Worthington

The region was unaffected in 1996 when the 612 area was subdivided. Year 1996 ( MCMXCVI) was a Leap year starting on Monday (link will display full 1996 Gregorian calendar) Today, area code 320 runs the length of the southern border with 218, and the 612 area code has been reduced in size so much that it now just covers Minneapolis proper and a few nearby suburbs. Area code 320 is the Telephone numbering plan code covering much of central and western Minnesota.
