Adding Indian Harbour to Our Gazetteer ...
As we work on our Gazetteer, we occasionally find mention of a community that is new to us. When we find such a community, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope of adding more information in the future.
The earliest source we've referenced which mentioned Indian Harbour was on a map titled Map of Maritime Provinces of Canada (from Rand McNally, 1897).
When there's a risk of an area code running out of phone numbers, an 'Overlay Area Code' is created that has the same geographic boundaries as the existing area code. In this case, the 902 code has been Overlayed with the 782 area code. New phone numbers in the Indian Harbour area will be assigned with one of these codes: 902 or 782. As a result, placing a call in the Indian Harbour area will require 10-digit dialing (where you enter both the area code and then the phone number).
