Originally, the area had only five postcode districts, AB1 to AB5. In August 1990, these were recoded with the addition of second digits, such that every post town besides Aberdeen had its own district. At the same time, IV33, IV34 and IV35 were recoded as part of AB38.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
