The 608 area code
is the place to be

The city of Madison was incorporated in 1848 and named after James Madison, the 4th president of the United States. The following years saw Wisconsin solidify their statehood, the founding of University of Wisconsin-Madison, and newly constructed links to the Milwaukee and Mississippi railroad, all of which were factors that helped the capital’s population grow.

Camp Randall in Madison served as a POW camp during the Civil War and played a significant part in the war effort because they trained almost the entire state’s Union army. After the Civil War, the population and economy continued to grow throughout the 20th century and now Madison is the second largest city in the state of Wisconsin.

The Madison area code contains three companies from the 2017 Fortune 500 list.
