712 area code summary
Area code 712 serves the western portion of Iowa, covering cities such as Sioux City, Council Bluffs, Spencer, and Carroll. Established in 1947, it’s one of the original area codes and continues to serve a largely rural and agricultural region. The area’s economy includes corn and soybean farming, food processing, transportation, and healthcare. Sioux City, located along the Missouri River, acts as a commercial hub for northwest Iowa. Council Bluffs, directly across the river from Omaha, Nebraska, benefits from proximity to a larger metro while retaining a distinct identity.
