Find any 651- phone number in Minnesota
The 651 area code is part of the North American Numbering Plan, or NANP, which is a system of numbering telephone exchanges within certain geographic areas. Primarily found in the United States and Canada, the NANP was created in 1947 by AT&T in order to facilitate communications between its customers across the continent. The 651 area code is provided to telephone customers located in the state of Minnesota, as well as some parts of Wisconsin and Michigan.
The 651 area code consists of local telephone exchanges, including those located in the state capital of Saint Paul, along with those in Minneapolis and other municipalities throughout the state. It is one of the original area codes, having been established in 1947 and is also one of the most populous area codes serving over 2.3 million people. Additionally, the 651 area code is overlayed with the 952 area code to ensure sufficient availability of telephone lines throughout Minnesota.
