Adding Queensland 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 Queensland was mentioned on a train schedule titled Canadian National Railroad Time Tables (October 1960).

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 Queensland area will be assigned with one of these codes: 902 or 782. As a result, placing a call in the Queensland area will require 10-digit dialing (where you enter both the area code and then the phone number).
