Here's some info I found about Stewart-Hyder:

Stewart, BC (pop 650) and Hyder, Alaska (pop 102) are an example of borders uniting rather than dividing. Here, the citizens of both towns depend on each other for the things we take for granted. Stewart has the only bank and ATM. Hyder has the commercial dock. Stewart has most of the stores. Hyder has the nightlife and bars (2). Hyder residents purchase by gas by the litre in Stewart (the only gas station).

Customs agents are familiar with residents, and that makes crossing in this time of heightened security a little easier in the winter. In the summer, 11,000 tourists arrive, making things much more difficult.

But, as Stewart, BCs mayor says, We are really two countries, but one community. I firmly believe that the recent events will actually make us stronger because we now realize how much we depend on one another. Its not about where the boundaries lie, but how we live our lives Were one big family and always will be." Well meet the family!

Subject: [BoundaryPoint] Two national telephone area codes

Hyder, Alaska, USA is that way, with children going to school in nearby British Columbia, Canada. Even though the U.S. and Canada technically have the same type of phone system, some phones in Hyder have the area code for that part of BC. I don't even know that the few businesses in Hyder even take U.S. dollars since it is completely isolated (by land, anyway) from the rest of the United States.
