The area code 918 is located in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma.
Area code 918 serves Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, and much of northeastern Oklahoma. It was established in 1953 when the original statewide 405 area code was split to create a dedicated code for this region. Broken Arrow spans Tulsa and Wagoner counties and sits within the Tulsa metro, so 918 connects local homes, schools, and businesses across the community. Today, 918 works alongside its overlay, area code 539, which covers the same footprint.
Major cities and communities in the 918/539 service area include:
In 2011, the 539 overlay was added to meet demand, and ten-digit dialing became standard across the 918 region. The area includes well-known spots like Tulsa’s Art Deco downtown, Route 66 attractions such as the Blue Whale of Catoosa, and Tulsa International Airport (TUL). In Broken Arrow, highlights include the Rose District and the Broken Arrow Performing Arts Center. The region also includes Tahlequah, the capital of the Cherokee Nation, underscoring its deep Native American history. Together, 918 and 539 power everyday calling across the Tulsa–Broken Arrow corridor and the wider northeast corner of the state.
