418 area code summary
Area code 418 serves eastern Quebec, including the historic city of Quebec City and regions such as Saguenay, Lévis, and Rimouski. Established in 1947, it is one of Canada’s oldest area codes and is now overlaid by 581 and 367. Quebec City, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is known for its cobblestone streets, French colonial architecture, and strong cultural identity. The region’s economy is driven by government administration, tourism, tech, and higher education. It also supports industries like hydroelectric energy, forestry, and shipping, particularly along the St. Lawrence River. The broader 418 region is primarily French-speaking and deeply tied to Quebec’s provincial identity. A 418 number signals not only regional authenticity but also an understanding of the unique linguistic and cultural context of eastern Quebec. It’s an essential choice for anyone looking to serve or connect with the Francophone population in this historic and economically diverse part of Canada.
