Area code 318 covers northern Louisiana, an area strongly influenced by Southern Baptist culture, oil and gas, and military presence. Shreveport is the region's largest city, paired across the Red River with Barksdale Air Force Base in Bossier City. The code was split from 504 in 1957.
Across Louisiana, the 318 area code serves roughly 900,000 residents in 4 communities — including Shreveport, Bossier City, Monroe, among others.

318 was first introduced in 1957 under the North American Numbering Plan. It remains an active geographic code today.
