<2>	The pronunciation we've provided is our attempt to give a phonetic pronunciation for Brownsville. While it might not be exactly right, hopefully it will be close. If we have it wrong or there's a better way to pronounce the name, please contact us through our Feedback Page.
<3>	The elevation is an estimate for the area around Brownsville - it will be higher in some places and lower in others.
<4>	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 740 code has been Overlayed with the 220 area code. New phone numbers in the Brownsville area will be assigned with one of these codes: 740 or 220. As a result, placing a call in the Brownsville area will require 10-digit dialing (where you enter both the area code and then the phone number).
