In other words, it's how the residents of Hamilton Forest 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 Hamilton Forest may use one name, keep in mind that others may use something different. |

In this case, the 336 code has been Overlayed with the 743 area code. New phone numbers in the Hamilton Forest area will be assigned with one of these codes: 336 or 743. As a result, placing a call in the Hamilton Forest area will require 10-digit dialing (where you enter both the area code and then the phone number). |
