01 — North Dakota at a Glance
North Dakota, by the numbers.
North Dakota received area code 701 on January 1, 1947, one of the original 86 area codes — and it has covered the whole state, unsplit, ever since.
Very low population density has kept 701 far from exhaustion, even as Bakken oil-boom growth pushed western population to record highs.
Number-pooling practices have stretched the supply further; current projections suggest the state won't need a second code until around 2029 at the earliest.
That makes North Dakota, like Montana and New Hampshire, one of only eleven states still served by a single area code.
Did you know?
North Dakota's 701 area code has covered the entire state, including its oil-boom growth in the Bakken region, without ever splitting or adding an overlay since it was assigned on the very first day of the North American Numbering Plan in 1947.
