No, Baltimore is going into the 410 area.

The dates are correct as far as I know (permissive in Nov. 1991,
mandatory in Nov. 1992).  Eastern Maryland is the part getting the new
area code.  If you are local to DC you stay in 301, if you are local
to Baltimore you go into 410.

The new area code will cover the eastern shore, plus the counties of
Harford, Baltimore, Anne Arundel, Calvert, (most of) Howard, and
Carroll, plus Baltimore city.  One exchange that I know of in Howard
County, plus the counties of St. Marys, Charles, Prince Georges,
Montgomery, Frederick, Washington, Allegany, and Garrett stay in 301.
