History of Area Code 952

The Minnesota telephone numbering plan code was created at the same time as area code 763, in 2000, both of which used to be part of the parent 612 area code that now contains Minneapolis and a few locales. What is worth noting is the fact that the area of Twin Cities is covered by not only 952 but also three more area codes: 612, 763, and 651. Together, the four area codes comprise one of the largest local calling areas in the country. This means that long-distance phone calls between parts of the Twin Cities are usually considered local calls. Some portions of the 507 and 320 area codes in the Twin Cities are also considered local calls too.
