- Area code 320
Area code 320 is the
telephone numbering plan code covering much of central and westernMinnesota . It was the fourth Minnesota area code, created in 1996 when it was carved out of the formerarea code 612 , which covered the state's midsection. The Twin Cities region retained 612, while the rest of the area became 320. The region includes the cities of St. Cloud and Alexandria.Since that time, the 612 area code has been shrunk further; it now just includes the city of Minneapolis and a few inner-ring suburbs. 320 now borders every area code in the state except for 612.
Area code 651 split from 612 in 1998 and now borders the eastern tip of the region, whilearea code 763 andarea code 952 were split from 612 in 2000 and retained roughly the same borders 612 had originally had with 320.Area code 218 borders 320 to the north, andarea code 507 covers the southern part of the state.Cities and Communities within Area code 320
