How Hagerstown came to have 3 area codes
The original Hagerstown area code is 301, in service since 1947. As the area ran low on available numbers, overlay codes were added over the same region for new phone lines: 240 (1997) and 227 (2023). Existing numbers kept their original code — an overlay never forces anyone to change their number — which is why Hagerstown now uses all 3 codes and every local call is dialed with ten digits.
