'''Area code 707''' is a [[California]] [[telephone]] [[area code]] that was split from [[area code 415]] on March 1, 1959. It covers the northwestern portion of the state of [[California]]. It serves the far northern fringe of the [[San Francisco Bay Area]], as well as the [[North Coast (California)|North Coast]] and the northwestern portion of the state. Major cities in the area code include [[Napa, California|Napa]], [[Sebastopol, California|Sebastopol]], [[Vallejo, California|Vallejo]], [[Benicia, California|Benicia]], [[Fairfield, California|Fairfield]], [[Santa Rosa, California|Santa Rosa]], [[Windsor, California|Windsor]], [[Healdsburg]], [[Rohnert Park]], [[Petaluma, California|Petaluma]], [[Fort Bragg, California|Fort Bragg]], [[Crescent City, California|Crescent City]], [[Eureka, California|Eureka]], [[Clearlake, California|Clearlake]], [[Vacaville, California|Vacaville]], [[Ukiah, California|Ukiah]], and northwestern California.

When 707 came online, it was the last new area code in California until [[Area code 619|619]] in 1982, and completed California's ''stable eight''{{citation needed|date=March 2016}} (along with [[Area code 213|213]], [[Area code 415|415]], [[Area code 916|916]], [[Area code 714|714]], [[Area code 408|408]], [[Area code 805|805]], and [[Area code 209|209]]). Furthermore, it is the only one of those eight area codes that has not been further split. This is despite explosive growth in the area, particularly its southern portion, as well as the proliferation of cell phones and pagers. However, when [[area code 916]] split into [[area code 530]] on November 1, 1997, the [[Dixon, California|Dixon]] area moved from area code 916 to 707 and also from the Sacramento [[Local access and transport area|LATA]] into the San Francisco LATA.
