Area code 763 serves the northwestern suburbs of the Minneapolis–St. Paul metro area in Minnesota, including cities like Maple Grove, Brooklyn Park, Blaine, and Coon Rapids. It was introduced in 2000 as a split from the 612 area code due to rapid suburban expansion. The region is characterized by residential growth, business parks, and easy access to urban centers. Area code 763 is commonly used by both families and businesses, and ten-digit dialing is required. The code represents a thriving part of the metro area and reflects the suburban development that has shaped modern Minnesota.
