Area code 208 represents the entire state of Idaho and holds a unique place as one of the original area codes established in 1947.
Unlike many other regions that have divided into multiple area codes over time, 208 maintained its exclusivity for decades, signaling Idaho’s unified character and steady population growth.
It later became one of the least fragmented codes covering a full state, standing out for its rarity.
As Idaho drew more residents and businesses, the addition of area code 986 as an overlay joined 208, but 208 remains the number most closely tied with Idaho roots and local identity.
