Area code 709 serves the entire province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. It was created in 1962 as a split from area code 506 and remains the only area code for the province. Cities and communities under 709 include St. John’s, Corner Brook, and Gander. The region is known for its rugged coastline, vibrant culture, and historic significance as one of the oldest European-settled areas in North America. 709 is a key part of Newfoundland and Labrador’s identity and continues to support a relatively low but growing demand for telecommunications.
