302 area code summary
Area code 302 covers the entire state of Delaware, making it one of the few U.S. states served by a single area code. Established in 1947, 302 includes cities such as Wilmington, Dover, and Newark. Wilmington is Delaware’s financial capital, home to many banks and Fortune 500 companies due to the state’s favorable incorporation laws. Major employers include JPMorgan Chase, DuPont, ChristianaCare, and the University of Delaware. Dover, the state capital, adds political and military weight through Dover Air Force Base and government offices. The area is also rich in history, beaches, and mid-Atlantic charm. Despite its small size, Delaware punches above its weight in business incorporation, legal services, and healthcare. A 302 number signals statewide accessibility and a direct line to decision-makers in finance, law, and government. Whether you’re serving corporate clients, managing a healthcare practice, or targeting East Coast markets, a 302 number brings instant credibility across the First State.
