Area code 918 serves northeastern Oklahoma, including Tulsa, Broken Arrow, and Muskogee. Established in 1953 from a split with 405, it was overlaid with 539 in 2011 due to population growth and mobile phone expansion. The region has a diverse economy, blending energy, aerospace, healthcare, and manufacturing. Tulsa, a former oil capital, anchors the region with a rich history and modern revitalization. Ten-digit dialing is required. Area code 918 is strongly tied to Oklahoma’s industrial and cultural development, representing both historic boomtown energy and present-day innovation.
