Maryland area code split impacts Frederick County
The new 410 area code covers parts of Frederick County along the eastern Carroll County border while most of Frederick County stays in 301. The change, effective November 1 with a one year grace period to dial 301, aims to accommodate growth and more numbers. Mount Airy and Union Bridge illustrate county line splits but Mount Airy remains in 301. Local calls remain 10 digit despite the change.
