Why Metro Fredericksburg Has 2 Area Codes
When a region uses more numbers than one code can hold, new codes are overlaid on the same territory rather than forcing anyone to change numbers. Metro Fredericksburg now uses 540 and 826: same neighborhoods, ten-digit dialing, and every one of them covered by its own guide above.

How Virginia Got Its Codes
Every Virginia area code, in the order it entered service. Splits carved new regions; added codes overlay existing ones, which is why ten-digit dialing is standard.
