Footnotes ...

<1>

A demonym is the name for a resident of a community which is usually derived from (or is related to) the name of that community. In other words, it's how the residents of Beaufort 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 Beaufort may use one name, keep in mind that others may use something different.

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 418 code has been Overlayed with one of the following codes: 367 or 581. New phone numbers in the Beaufort area will be assigned with one of these codes: 418, 367 or 581. As a result, placing a call in the Beaufort area will require 10-digit dialing (where you enter both the area code and then the phone number).
