As someone who has lived in the Pioneer Valley their entire life, I feel the 413 area code is true Western MA. The Berkshires are their own entity.

What area code do you think the Berkshires have?

Honestly didn't know it was also 413. I've always thought of Worcester county as central MA; Franklin/Hampshire/Hampden county as Western MA, and the Berkshires are the Berkshires. Probably silly as the Berkshires are the western most part of the state but in my head it makes sense.
