In other words, it's how the residents of Hamilton Crossing 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 Hamilton Crossing may use one name, keep in mind that others may use something different. |

| <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 540 code has been Overlayed with the 826 area code. New phone numbers in the Hamilton Crossing area will be assigned with one of these codes: 540 or 826. As a result, placing a call in the Hamilton Crossing area will require 10-digit dialing (where you enter both the area code and then the phone number). |
