Area code 207 serves the entire state of Maine and is one of the original area codes created in 1947. Despite Maine’s population growth and telecommunications development, it has remained a single area code without any splits or overlays. The 207 region includes all major cities such as Portland, Augusta, Bangor, and Lewiston, as well as the state’s scenic coastline and rural inland areas. It is often used in tourism branding, evoking images of lighthouses, lobster boats, and forested landscapes. 207 is not only a functional area code but also a cultural identifier for Mainers. Its longevity and uniqueness make it a point of pride throughout the state.
