Alberta is a western Canadian province known for its vast prairies, Rocky Mountain peaks, and energy-rich economy centered around oil and gas. Cities like Calgary and Edmonton serve as cultural and economic powerhouses, while Banff and Jasper National Parks attract global tourists.

Alberta originally used area code 403, but with continued growth, 780 was introduced for northern Alberta in 1999. Later, overlays 587, 825, and 368 were added to accommodate increasing mobile usage and business demand. These Alberta area codes cover everything from oil towns to alpine resorts.
