History of the 207 Area Code
The 207 area code was established in 1947 as part of the original North American Numbering Plan (NANP). It has remained unchanged since its inception, with no splits or overlays, making it one of the few area codes in the United States to maintain its original boundaries. The stability of area code 207 is largely due to Maine's relatively stable population and demand for new phone numbers. For more historical details, visit the North American Numbering Plan Administrator (NANPA).
