The state of Alaska is located in the northwest extremity of North America, bordering the Canadian territory of Yukon and province of British Columbia. It shares a maritime border with Russia to the west. While Alaska is the largest state in the US by area, it is also the third least populous and least densely populated state in the country. Due to this small population, area code 907 is the main area code of Alaska. It was established in January of 1957 and covers the entire state, except for the southeastern community of Hyder, which is served by overlay area code 250. An overlay area code occurs when more than one area code serves the same numbering plan area. According to the 2010 census, the population of Hyder (the easternmost town in the state) was 87 and the total area is 14.8 square miles. Learn more about the area codes in Alaska:
