Area code 763
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Area code 763 is the telephone numbering plan code for the northwestern suburbs of Minneapolis-St. Paul including cities such as Maple Grove. It was created in 2000 along with area code 952 (southwest suburbs) when they were carved out of area code 612, which now only contains Minneapolis and a few inner-ring locales.
The area code splits in the Twin Cities are unusual because they split along municipal, rather than central office, boundaries. This led to a sizeable number of exchanges being divided between two area codes, and a few being divided between three. [1]
