Footnotes ...
| <1> | If you're interested in how the shape of Maryland's counties, including Baltimore, have changed over time, we recommend the Atlas of Historical County Boundaries. |
| <2> | A demonym is the name for a resident of a community which is usually derived from (or is related to) the name of that community. In other words, it's how the residents of Haverford refer to themselves. It's important to note that there aren't any rules for taking a community's name and turning it into a demonym. A demonym is informal and while the majority of Haverford may use one name, keep in mind that others may use something different. |

In this case, the 410 code has been Overlayed with one of the following codes: 443 or 667. New phone numbers in the Haverford area will be assigned with one of these codes: 410, 443 or 667.
