The state has some of the most productive wheat and sunflower farmland in the world.
Across North Dakota, the 701 area code serves roughly 770,000 residents in 4 communities — including Fargo, Bismarck, Grand Forks, among others.

701 was first introduced in 1947 under the North American Numbering Plan. It remains an active geographic code today.
