Bel Air the incorporated town and Bel Air North and Bel Air South, the two much larger CDPs that ring it, are three separate places sharing one name — only the town in the middle has its own government. The Aberdeen Proving Ground CDP, 1,668 residents, is on-post family housing at the installation’s north end; it is distinct from the base’s Edgewood Area at the county’s south end, which borders but does not overlap the Edgewood CDP.<\/p>\n
