Outside the town limits, the surrounding countryside is colloquially referred to as Mount Airy or the "Four-County Area" by locals.[6] The "Four-County Area" derives its name from the fact that the "Mount Airy" mailing area encompasses portions of Frederick, Carroll, Montgomery, and Howard counties.
