A 612 reads Minneapolis insider

Minnesota was assigned a single area code in 1947: 612, covering the entire state. 218 split off in 1954 for northern Minnesota (Duluth, the Iron Range, Bemidji) and 507 split off the same year for southern Minnesota (Rochester, Mankato, Worthington).
Central Minnesota carved out next: 320 split from 612 in 1996 for St. Cloud, Willmar, Alexandria and the central farming region, leaving 612 with the Twin Cities metro.
In 2000 the Twin Cities split three ways simultaneously: 651 took St. Paul and eastern suburbs, 763 took northern and western suburbs (Brooklyn Park, Plymouth, Maple Grove), and 952 took southern suburbs (Bloomington, Edina, Eden Prairie). 612 was restricted to Minneapolis proper, including the airport.
Minnesota's Twin Cities are unique in being the only major US metro where the two anchor cities split their original area code in the same year (2000) into separate codes — 612 for Minneapolis and 651 for St. Paul. Most metros consolidate around one code; Minneapolis and St. Paul deliberately kept their identities distinct.
