Area code 701 is the sole area code for all of North Dakota, making it one of the few states with a single code. Established in 1947, it covers the entire state, including Fargo, Bismarck, Grand Forks, and Minot. The code is associated with wide-open landscapes, agriculture, energy production, and a close-knit population. Seven-digit dialing is allowed within the state. 701 is a distinctive and unifying symbol of North Dakota’s rural resilience and statewide community.
