231 area code summary

Area code 231 serves northwestern Michigan, including cities such as Traverse City, Muskegon, Cadillac, and Ludington. Introduced in 1999 as a split from 616, the 231 area spans a scenic region known for tourism, outdoor recreation, and lakefront communities along Lake Michigan. Traverse City is a major destination for food, wine, and cultural festivals like the National Cherry Festival. It also supports a growing number of tech companies and creative businesses.

Agriculture—including cherries, apples, and vineyards—is another economic contributor. Whether you’re a real estate agent, resort operator, or local service provider, a 231 number establishes clear presence in one of Michigan’s most beloved and naturally beautiful regions.
