Marquette, MI – September 6, 2016 – Alright Upper Peninsula residents, as much as we all love to show our U.P. pride on any given day, today is special! If you haven’t looked at the date and you’ve been crazy busy, it may have slipped your mind that today is 9/06! Make sure you’re celebrating America’s best area code correctly with an outdoor trip to something you can only find in the U.P. and a nice Upper Peninsula craft brew top it off!
Check out some facts about our dear (906):
- Area code 906 was created in March 19, 1961 as a split from what was area code 616
- Area code 906 is not expected to be exhausted until at least 2023
- Area code 906 is the 6th largest area code east of the Mississippi River
- And yes, if you flip it, it is identical!

If you’re looking for beer suggestions, my personal favorite Michigan made beer is the Widow Maker Black from Keweenaw Brewing Company.
