The database is part of a system that includes topographic map names and bibliographic references. The names of books and historic maps that confirm the feature or place name are cited. Variant names, alternatives to official federal names for a feature, are also recor ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The area code has been in use since November 1, 1999; it was assigned to Florida (instead of suburban Chicago) after a successful petition led by local resident Robert Osband to commemorate the Space Coast's impact on Brevard County. When it was activated in 2000, area code 321 was used as an overlay for the Orlando area. The code refers to the countdown sequence which has launched many spacecraft from Cape Canaveral. 321 was used in Orlando area with an overlay area code 407 and exception for a small portion of Volusia County that includes Deltona which was in 407 at the time (it is now in 386).
