Some background on Michigan and its area codes

Michigan's area codes were first established in 1947 with the North American Numbering Plan. Initially, three area codes served the state: 313 for Detroit, 517 for Lansing and central Michigan, and 616 for Grand Rapids and the western region. This structure reflected Michigan's population distribution at the time.

Over the decades, Michigan's area codes have expanded and evolved due to population growth and increased demand for telephone services. Notable additions include 248 for Oakland County in 1997 and 734 for Ann Arbor and its surrounding areas in 1998. Overlay codes like 947 for 248 were introduced to manage number exhaustion.

Today, Michigan has 12 area codes, including 231, 269, 989, 906, and 586, serving various regions. The 906 area code is unique to Michigan's Upper Peninsula, highlighting its distinct geographic identity. The diverse allocation of area codes reflects Michigan's adaptation to technological advancements and its growing population.
