Area code 207 covers the entire state of Maine, making it one of the few single-area-code states left in the U.S. Established in 1947, it serves cities such as Portland, Augusta, Bangor, and Lewiston. Despite its long history, Maine's relatively low population density has allowed 207 to remain singular. This code evokes the state’s rugged coastline, forested wilderness, and strong New England identity. No overlay exists, and ten-digit dialing is not required statewide. The 207 code carries a sense of tradition and regional pride, especially among Maine natives and local businesses.
