Footnotes ...

<1>The pronunciation we've provided is our attempt to give a phonetic pronunciation for Hamilton. 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.
<2>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 Hamilton area will be assigned with one of these codes: 902 or 782. As a result, placing a call in the Hamilton area will require 10-digit dialing (where you enter both the area code and then the phone number).
<3>Longitude & latitude values may not be the geographic center of Hamilton, rather it may be a prominent intersection or the center of population, etc. It will vary depending on the source.
