701 area code summary

Area code 701 serves the entire state of North Dakota, one of the few U.S. states still covered by a single area code. Established in 1947, it includes major cities like Fargo, Bismarck (the capital), Grand Forks, and Minot. The state’s economy has deep agricultural roots, but has grown in sectors like energy—particularly oil from the Bakken formation—healthcare, and education. North Dakota State University and the University of North Dakota anchor two of its largest cities. The state is known for its low unemployment, strong community values, and expansive rural landscape. A 701 number carries the credibility and practicality of a state-wide identity—ideal for statewide businesses or institutions.
