21# From Paul Eggert (1999-03-31):
22# Howse writes (pp 121-125) that time zones were invented by
23# Professor Charles Ferdinand Dowd (1825-1904),
24# Principal of Temple Grove Ladies' Seminary (Saratoga Springs, NY).
25# His pamphlet "A System of National Time for Railroads" (1870)
26# was the result of his proposals at the Convention of Railroad Trunk Lines
27# in New York City (1869-10).  His 1870 proposal was based on Washington, DC,
28# but in 1872-05 he moved the proposed origin to Greenwich.
29
30# From Paul Eggert (2018-03-20):
31# Dowd's proposal left many details unresolved, such as where to draw
32# lines between time zones.  The key individual who made time zones
33# work in the US was William Frederick Allen - railway engineer,
34# managing editor of the Travelers' Guide, and secretary of the
35# General Time Convention, a railway standardization group.  Allen
36# spent months in dialogs with scientific and railway leaders,
37# developed a workable plan to institute time zones, and presented it
38# to the General Time Convention on 1883-04-11, saying that his plan
39# meant "local time would be practically abolished" - a plus for
40# railway scheduling.  By the next convention on 1883-10-11 nearly all
41# railroads had agreed and it took effect on 1883-11-18.  That Sunday
42# was called the "day of two noons", as some locations observed noon
43# twice.  Allen witnessed the transition in New York City, writing:
44#
45#   I heard the bells of St. Paul's strike on the old time.  Four
46#   minutes later, obedient to the electrical signal from the Naval
47#   Observatory ... the time-ball made its rapid descent, the chimes
48#   of old Trinity rang twelve measured strokes, and local time was
49#   abandoned, probably forever.
50#
51# Most of the US soon followed suit.  See:
52# Bartky IR. The adoption of standard time. Technol Cult 1989 Jan;30(1):25-56.
53# https://dx.doi.org/10.2307/3105430
54
55# From Paul Eggert (2005-04-16):
56# That 1883 transition occurred at 12:00 new time, not at 12:00 old time.
57# See p 46 of David Prerau, Seize the daylight, Thunder's Mouth Press (2005).
58
59# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
60# A good source for time zone historical data in the US is
61# Thomas G. Shanks, The American Atlas (5th edition),
62# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (1991).
63# Make sure you have the errata sheet; the book is somewhat useless without it.
64# It is the source for most of the pre-1991 US entries below.
65
66# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-06):
67# Daylight Saving Time was first suggested as a joke by Benjamin Franklin
68# in his whimsical essay "An Economical Project for Diminishing the Cost
69# of Light" published in the Journal de Paris (1784-04-26).
70# Not everyone is happy with the results:
71#
72#	I don't really care how time is reckoned so long as there is some
73#	agreement about it, but I object to being told that I am saving
74#	daylight when my reason tells me that I am doing nothing of the kind.
75#	I even object to the implication that I am wasting something
76#	valuable if I stay in bed after the sun has risen.  As an admirer
77#	of moonlight I resent the bossy insistence of those who want to
78#	reduce my time for enjoying it.  At the back of the Daylight Saving
79#	scheme I detect the bony, blue-fingered hand of Puritanism, eager
80#	to push people into bed earlier, and get them up earlier, to make
81#	them healthy, wealthy and wise in spite of themselves.

90#
91# Shanks says that DST was called "War Time" in the US in 1918 and 1919.
92# However, DST was imposed by the Standard Time Act of 1918, which
93# was the first nationwide legal time standard, and apparently
94# time was just called "Standard Time" or "Daylight Saving Time".
95
96# From Paul Eggert (2019-06-04):
97# Here is the legal basis for the US federal rules.
98# * Public Law 65-106 (1918-03-19) implemented standard and daylight saving
99#   time for the first time across the US, springing forward on March's last
100#   Sunday and falling back on October's last Sunday.
101#   https://www.loc.gov/law/help/statutes-at-large/65th-congress/session-2/c65s2ch24.pdf
102# * Public Law 66-40 (1919-08-20) repealed DST on October 1919's last Sunday.
103#   https://www.loc.gov/law/help/statutes-at-large/66th-congress/session-1/c66s1ch51.pdf
104# * Public Law 77-403 (1942-01-20) started wartime DST on 1942-02-09.
105#   https://www.loc.gov/law/help/statutes-at-large/77th-congress/session-2/c77s2ch7.pdf
106# * Public Law 79-187 (1945-09-25) ended wartime DST on 1945-09-30.
107#   https://www.loc.gov/law/help/statutes-at-large/79th-congress/session-1/c79s1ch388.pdf
108# * Public Law 89-387 (1966-04-13) reinstituted a national standard for DST,
109#   from April's last Sunday to October's last Sunday, effective 1967.
110#   https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/STATUTE-80/pdf/STATUTE-80-Pg107.pdf
111# * Public Law 93-182 (1973-12-15) moved the 1974 spring-forward to 01-06.
112#   https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/STATUTE-87/pdf/STATUTE-87-Pg707.pdf
113# * Public Law 93-434 (1974-10-05) moved the 1975 spring-forward to
114#   February's last Sunday.
115#   https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/STATUTE-88/pdf/STATUTE-88-Pg1209.pdf
116# * Public Law 99-359 (1986-07-08) moved the spring-forward to April's first

119# * Public Law 109-58 (2005-08-08), effective 2007, moved the spring-forward
120#   to March's second Sunday and the fall-back to November's first Sunday.

122# All transitions are at 02:00 local time.
123
124# From Arthur David Olson:
125# Before the Uniform Time Act of 1966 took effect in 1967, observance of
126# Daylight Saving Time in the US was by local option, except during wartime.
127
128# From Arthur David Olson (2000-09-25):
129# Last night I heard part of a rebroadcast of a 1945 Arch Oboler radio drama.
130# In the introduction, Oboler spoke of "Eastern Peace Time."
131# An AltaVista search turned up:
132# https://web.archive.org/web/20000926032210/http://rowayton.org/rhs/hstaug45.html
133# "When the time is announced over the radio now, it is 'Eastern Peace
134# Time' instead of the old familiar 'Eastern War Time.'  Peace is wonderful."
135# (August 1945) by way of confirmation.
136#
137# From Paul Eggert (2017-09-23):
138# This was the V-J Day issue of the Clamdigger, a Rowayton, CT newsletter.
139
140# From Joseph Gallant citing
141# George H. Douglas, _The Early Days of Radio Broadcasting_ (1987):
142# At 7 P.M. (Eastern War Time) [on 1945-08-14], the networks were set
143# to switch to London for Attlee's address, but the American people
144# never got to hear his speech live. According to one press account,
145# CBS' Bob Trout was first to announce the word of Japan's surrender,
146# but a few seconds later, NBC, ABC and Mutual also flashed the word
147# of surrender, all of whom interrupting the bells of Big Ben in
148# London which were to precede Mr. Attlee's speech.
149
150# From Paul Eggert (2003-02-09): It was Robert St John, not Bob Trout.  From
151# Myrna Oliver's obituary of St John on page B16 of today's Los Angeles Times:
152#
153# ... a war-weary U.S. clung to radios, awaiting word of Japan's surrender.
154# Any announcement from Asia would reach St. John's New York newsroom on a
155# wire service teletype machine, which had prescribed signals for major news.
156# Associated Press, for example, would ring five bells before spewing out
157# typed copy of an important story, and 10 bells for news "of transcendental
158# importance."
159#
160# On Aug. 14, stalling while talking steadily into the NBC networks' open
161# microphone, St. John heard five bells and waited only to hear a sixth bell,
162# before announcing confidently: "Ladies and gentlemen, World War II is over.
163# The Japanese have agreed to our surrender terms."
164#
165# He had scored a 20-second scoop on other broadcasters.
166
167# From Arthur David Olson (2005-08-22):
168# Paul has been careful to use the "US" rules only in those locations
169# that are part of the United States; this reflects the real scope of
170# U.S. government action.  So even though the "US" rules have changed
171# in the latest release, other countries won't be affected.

268# Although the 1918 names were officially "United States Standard

270# and "Alaska", in practice "Standard" was placed just before "Time",
271# as codified in 1966.  In practice, Alaska time was abbreviated "AST"
272# before 1968.  Summarizing the 1967 name changes:

375# From Paul Eggert (2018-01-07):
376# In 1869 the Chicago Astronomical Society contracted with the city to keep
377# time.  Though delayed by the Great Fire, by 1880 a wire ran from the
378# Dearborn Observatory (on the University of Chicago campus) to City Hall,
379# which then sent signals to police and fire stations.  However, railroads got
380# their time signals from the Allegheny Observatory, the Madison Observatory,
381# the Ann Arbor Observatory, etc., so their clocks did not agree with each
382# other or with the city's official time.  The confusion took some years to
383# clear up.  See:

399# From an email administrator of the City of Fort Pierre, SD (2015-12-21):
400# Fort Pierre is technically located in the Mountain time zone as is
401# the rest of Stanley County.  Most of Stanley County and Fort Pierre
402# uses the Central time zone due to doing most of their business in
403# Pierre so it simplifies schedules.  I have lived in Stanley County
404# all my life and it has been that way since I can remember.  (43 years!)
405#
406# From Paul Eggert (2015-12-25):

409# From Paul Eggert (2015-04-06):
410# In 1950s Nashville a public clock had dueling faces, one for conservatives
411# and the other for liberals; the two sides didn't agree about the time of day.
412# I haven't found a photo of this clock, nor have I tracked down the TIME
413# magazine report cited below, but here's the story as told by the late
414# American journalist John Seigenthaler, who was there:
415#
416# "The two [newspaper] owners held strongly contrasting political and
417# ideological views.  Evans was a New South liberal, Stahlman an Old South
418# conservative, and their two papers frequently clashed editorially, often on
419# the same day....  In the 1950s as the state legislature was grappling with
420# the question of whether to approve daylight saving time for the entire state,
421# TIME magazine reported:
422#
423# "'The Nashville Banner and The Nashville Tennessean rarely agree on anything
424# but the time of day - and last week they couldn't agree on that.'
425#
426# "It was all too true. The clock on the front of the building had two faces -
427# The Tennessean side of the building facing west, the other, east.  When it
428# was high noon Banner time, it was 11 a.m. Tennessean time."
429#
430# Seigenthaler J. For 100 years, Tennessean had it covered.

528# causing electric clocks to lose six minutes per day.  (This did not change

534# In another measure to save electricity, DST was instituted from 1948-03-14
535# at 02:01 to 1949-01-16 at 02:00, with the governor having the option to move
536# the fallback transition earlier.  See pages 3-4 of:

538#
539# In response:
540#
541#   Governor Warren received a torrent of objecting mail, and it is not too much
542#   to speculate that the objections to Daylight Saving Time were one important
543#   factor in the defeat of the Dewey-Warren Presidential ticket in California.
544#     -- Ross, p 25
545#
546# On December 8 the governor exercised the option, setting the date to January 1
547# (LA Times 1948-12-09).  The transition time was 02:00 (LA Times 1949-01-01).
548#
549# Despite the controversy, in 1949 California voters approved Proposition 12,
550# which established DST from April's last Sunday at 01:00 until September's

574# On Friday, 1867-10-18 (Gregorian), at precisely 15:30 local time, the
575# Russian forts and fleet at Sitka fired salutes to mark the ceremony of

577# https://cdnc.ucr.edu/cgi-bin/cdnc?a=d&d=SDU18671114.2.12.1
578# Sitka workers did not change their calendars until Sunday, 1867-10-20,
579# and so celebrated two Sundays that week.  See: Ahllund T (tr Hallamaa P).

582# Include only the time zone part of this transition, ignoring the switch
583# from Julian to Gregorian, since we can't represent the Julian calendar.
584#
585# As far as we know, of the locations mentioned below only Sitka was

587# (Yakutat was colonized by the Russians in 1799, but the settlement was
588# destroyed in 1805 by a Yakutat-kon war party.)  Many of Alaska's inhabitants
589# were unaware of the US acquisition of Alaska, much less of any calendar or
590# time change.  However, the Russian-influenced part of Alaska did observe
591# Russian time, and it is more accurate to model this than to ignore it.
592# The database format requires an exact transition time; use the Russian
593# salute as a somewhat-arbitrary time for the formal transfer of control for
594# all of Alaska.  Sitka's UTC offset is -9:01:13; adjust its 15:30 to the

743# In e-mail, 2004-11-02, Ray Hudson, historian/liaison to the Unalaska
744# Historic Preservation Commission, provided this information, which
745# suggests that Unalaska deviated from statutory time from early 1967
746# possibly until 1983:
747#
748#  Minutes of the Unalaska City Council Meeting, January 10, 1967:
749#  "Except for St. Paul and Akutan, Unalaska is the only important
750#  location not on Alaska Standard Time.  The following resolution was
751#  made by William Robinson and seconded by Henry Swanson: Be it

753#  Time as of midnight Friday, January 13, 1967 (1 A.M. Saturday,
754#  January 14, Alaska Standard Time.)  This resolution was passed with

758
759# From Arthur David Olson (2010-12-09):
760# "Hawaiian Time" by Robert C. Schmitt and Doak C. Cox appears on pages 207-225
761# of volume 26 of The Hawaiian Journal of History (1992). As of 2010-12-09,
762# the article is available at
763# https://evols.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/bitstream/10524/239/2/JL26215.pdf
764# and indicates that standard time was adopted effective noon, January
765# 13, 1896 (page 218), that in "1933, the Legislature decreed daylight
766# saving for the period between the last Sunday of each April and the
767# last Sunday of each September, but less than a month later repealed the
768# act," (page 220), that year-round daylight saving time was in effect
769# from 1942-02-09 to 1945-09-30 (page 221, with no time of day given for
770# when clocks changed) and that clocks were changed by 30 minutes
771# effective the second Sunday of June, 1947 (page 219, with no time of
772# day given for when clocks changed). A footnote for the 1933 changes
773# cites Session Laws of Hawaii 1933, "Act. 90 (approved 26 Apr. 1933)
774# and Act 163 (approved 21 May 1933)."
775
776# From Arthur David Olson (2011-01-19):
777# The following is from "Laws of the Territory of Hawaii Passed by the
778# Seventeenth Legislature: Regular Session 1933," available (as of
779# 2011-01-19) at American University's Pence Law Library. Page 85: "Act
780# 90...At 2 o'clock ante meridian of the last Sunday in April of each
781# year, the standard time of this Territory shall be advanced one
782# hour...This Act shall take effect upon its approval. Approved this 26th
783# day of April, A. D. 1933. LAWRENCE M JUDD, Governor of the Territory of
784# Hawaii." Page 172: "Act 163...Act 90 of the Session Laws of 1933 is
785# hereby repealed...This Act shall take effect upon its approval, upon
786# which date the standard time of this Territory shall be restored to
787# that existing immediately prior to the taking effect of said Act 90.
788# Approved this 21st day of May, A. D. 1933. LAWRENCE M. JUDD, Governor
789# of the Territory of Hawaii."
790#
791# Note that 1933-05-21 was a Sunday.

809# <http://www.dlapr.lib.az.us/links/daylight.htm> (2002-01-23)
810# maintained by the Arizona State Library, Archives and Public Records.
811# Between 1944-01-01 and 1944-04-01 the State of Arizona used standard
812# time, but by federal law railroads, airlines, bus lines, military
813# personnel, and some engaged in interstate commerce continued to
814# observe war (i.e., daylight saving) time.  The 1944-03-17 Phoenix
815# Gazette says that was the date the law changed, and that 04-01 was
816# the date the state's clocks would change.  In 1945 the State of
817# Arizona used standard time all year, again with exceptions only as
818# mandated by federal law.  Arizona observed DST in 1967, but Arizona
819# Laws 1968, ch. 183 (effective 1968-03-21) repealed DST.

864# From Paul Eggert (2018-11-30):
865# A brief but entertaining history of time in Indiana describes a 1949 debate
866# in the Indiana House where city legislators (who favored "fast time")
867# tussled with farm legislators (who didn't) over a bill to outlaw DST:
868#  "Lacking enough votes, the city faction tries to filibuster until time runs
869#   out on the session at midnight, but rural champion Rep. Herbert Copeland,
870#   R-Madison, leans over the gallery railing and forces the official clock
871#   back to 9 p.m., breaking it in the process.  The clock sticks on 9 as the
872#   debate rages on into the night.  The filibuster finally dies out and the
873#   bill passes, while outside the chamber, clocks read 3:30 a.m.  In the end,
874#   it doesn't matter which side won.  The law has no enforcement powers and
875#   is simply ignored by fast-time communities."

880# From Paul Eggert (2007-08-17):
881# Since 1970, most of Indiana has been like America/Indiana/Indianapolis,
882# with the following exceptions:
883#
884# - Gibson, Jasper, Lake, LaPorte, Newton, Porter, Posey, Spencer,
885#   Vanderburgh, and Warrick counties have been like America/Chicago.
886#
887# - Dearborn and Ohio counties have been like America/New_York.
888#
889# - Clark, Floyd, and Harrison counties have been like
890#   America/Kentucky/Louisville.
891#
892# - Crawford, Daviess, Dubois, Knox, Martin, Perry, Pike, Pulaski, Starke,
893#   and Switzerland counties have their own time zone histories as noted below.
894#
895# Shanks partitioned Indiana into 345 regions, each with its own time history,
896# and wrote "Even newspaper reports present contradictory information."
897# Those Hoosiers!  Such a flighty and changeable people!
898# Fortunately, most of the complexity occurred before our cutoff date of 1970.
899#
900# Other than Indianapolis, the Indiana place names are so nondescript
901# that they would be ambiguous if we left them at the 'America' level.
902# So we reluctantly put them all in a subdirectory 'America/Indiana'.

905# https://www.federalregister.gov/articles/2006/01/20/06-563/standard-time-zone-boundary-in-the-state-of-indiana
906# says "DOT is relocating the time zone boundary in Indiana to move Starke,
907# Pulaski, Knox, Daviess, Martin, Pike, Dubois, and Perry Counties from the

909# this rule is 2 a.m. EST Sunday, April 2, 2006, which is the
910# changeover date from standard time to Daylight Saving Time."
911# Strictly speaking, this meant the affected counties changed their
912# clocks twice that night, but this obviously was in error.  The intent
913# was that 01:59:59 EST be followed by 02:00:00 CDT.

1062# From Paul Eggert (2018-03-20):
1063# The Louisville & Nashville Railroad's 1883-11-18 change occurred at
1064# 10:00 old local time; train were supposed to come to a standstill
1065# for precisely 18 minutes.  See Bartky Fig. 1 (page 50).  It is not
1066# clear how this matched civil time in Louisville, so for now continue
1067# to assume Louisville switched at noon new local time, like New York.
1068#
1069# From Michael Deckers (2019-08-06):
1070# From the contemporary source given by Alois Treindl,
1071# the switch in Louisville on 1946-04-28 was on 00:01
1072# From Paul Eggert (2019-08-26):
1073# That source was the Louisville Courier-Journal, 1946-04-27, p 4.
1074# Shanks gives 02:00 for all 20th-century transition times in Louisville.
1075# Evidently this is wrong for spring 1946.  Although also likely wrong

1102#
1103# From Lake Cumberland LIFE
1104# http://www.lake-cumberland.com/life/archive/news990129time.shtml
1105# (1999-01-29) via WKYM-101.7:
1106# Clinton County has joined Wayne County in asking the DoT to change from
1107# the Central to the Eastern time zone....  The Wayne County government made
1108# the same request in December.  And while Russell County officials have not
1109# taken action, the majority of respondents to a poll conducted there in
1110# August indicated they would like to change to "fast time" also.
1111# The three Lake Cumberland counties are the farthest east of any U.S.
1112# location in the Central time zone.
1113#
1114# From Rich Wales (2000-08-29):
1115# After prolonged debate, and despite continuing deep differences of opinion,
1116# Wayne County (central Kentucky) is switching from Central (-0600) to Eastern
1117# (-0500) time.  They won't "fall back" this year.  See Sara Shipley,
1118# The difference an hour makes, Nando Times (2000-08-29 15:33 -0400).
1119#
1120# From Paul Eggert (2001-07-16):
1121# The final rule was published in the
1122# Federal Register 65, 160 (2000-08-17), pp 50154-50158.

1132# From Rives McDow (2000-08-30):
1133# Here ... are all the changes in the US since 1985.
1134# Kearny County, KS (put all of county on central;
1135#	previously split between MST and CST) ... 1990-10
1136# Starke County, IN (from CST to EST) ... 1991-10

1138# West Wendover, NV (from PST TO MST) ... 1999-10
1139# Wayne County, KY (from CST to EST) ... 2000-10
1140#
1141# From Paul Eggert (2001-07-17):
1142# We don't know where the line used to be within Kearny County, KS,
1143# so omit that change for now.
1144# See America/Indiana/Knox for the Starke County, IN change.
1145# See America/North_Dakota/Center for the Oliver County, ND change.
1146# West Wendover, NV officially switched from Pacific to mountain time on
1147# 1999-10-31.  See the
1148# Federal Register 64, 203 (1999-10-21), pp 56705-56707.
1149# https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-1999-10-21/html/99-27240.htm
1150# However, the Federal Register says that West Wendover already operated
1151# on mountain time, and the rule merely made this official;
1152# hence a separate tz entry is not needed.
1153
1154# Michigan
1155#
1156# From Bob Devine (1988-01-28):
1157# Michigan didn't observe DST from 1968 to 1973.
1158#
1159# From Paul Eggert (1999-03-31):
1160# Shanks writes that Michigan started using standard time on 1885-09-18,
1161# but Howse writes (pp 124-125, referring to Popular Astronomy, 1901-01)
1162# that Detroit kept
1163#
1164#	local time until 1900 when the City Council decreed that clocks should
1165#	be put back twenty-eight minutes to Central Standard Time.  Half the
1166#	city obeyed, half refused.  After considerable debate, the decision
1167#	was rescinded and the city reverted to Sun time.  A derisive offer to
1168#	erect a sundial in front of the city hall was referred to the
1169#	Committee on Sewers.  Then, in 1905, Central time was adopted
1170#	by city vote.
1171#
1172# This story is too entertaining to be false, so go with Howse over Shanks.
1173#
1174# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-06):
1175# Garland (1927) writes "Cleveland and Detroit advanced their clocks
1176# one hour in 1914."  This change is not in Shanks.  We have no more
1177# info, so omit this for now.
1178#
1179# From Paul Eggert (2019-07-06):
1180# Due to a complicated set of legal maneuvers, in 1967 Michigan did
1181# not start daylight saving time when the rest of the US did.
1182# Instead, it began DST on Jun 14 at 00:01.  This was big news:
1183# the Detroit Free Press reported it at the top of Page 1 on
1184# 1967-06-14, in an article "State Adjusting to Switch to Fast Time"
1185# by Gary Blonston, above an article about Thurgood Marshall's
1186# confirmation to the US Supreme Court.  Although Shanks says Detroit
1187# observed DST until 1967-10-29 00:01, that time of day seems to be
1188# incorrect, as the Free Press later said DST ended in Michigan at the
1189# same time as the rest of the US.  Also, although Shanks reports no DST in
1190# Detroit in 1968, it did observe DST that year; in the November 1968
1191# election Michigan voters narrowly repealed DST, effective 1969.
1192#
1193# Most of Michigan observed DST from 1973 on, but was a bit late in 1975.

1372# '... The daylight saving scheme was dropped all over Canada at the same time,'
1373# These statements refer to a transition from daylight time to standard time

1483# From the historical weather station records available at:
1484# https://weatherspark.com/history/28351/1971/Sydney-Nova-Scotia-Canada
1485# Sydney shares the same time history as Glace Bay, so was
1486# likely to be the same across the island....
1487# Sydney, as the capital and most populous location, or Cape Breton, would
1488# have been better names for the zone had we known this in 1996.
1489
1490# From Paul Eggert (2015-07-20):
1491# Shanks & Pottenger write that since 1970 most of this region has been like
1492# Halifax.  Many locales did not observe peacetime DST until 1972;
1493# the Cape Breton area, represented by Glace Bay, is the largest we know of
1494# (Glace Bay was perhaps not the best name choice but no point changing now).
1495# Shanks & Pottenger also write that Liverpool, NS was the only town
1496# in Canada to observe DST in 1971 but not 1970; for now we'll assume
1497# this is a typo.
1498
1499# From Jeffery Nichols (2020-01-09):
1500# America/Halifax ... also applies to Îles-de-la-Madeleine and the Listuguj
1501# reserve in Quebec. Officially, this came into effect on January 1, 2007
1502# (Legal Time Act, CQLR c T-5.1), but the legislative debates surrounding that
1503# bill say that it is "accommodating the customs and practices" of those
1504# regions, which suggests that they have always been in-line with Halifax.

1615# According to the [Shanks] atlas, those western Ontario zones are huge,

1617# The zones seem to include towns bigger than the ones they're named after,

1626# Port Arthur (now part of Thunder Bay, Ontario) as well as Moose Jaw
1627# have already done so.  In Orillia DST was to run until Saturday,
1628# 1912-08-31 (no time mentioned), but it was met with considerable
1629# hostility from certain segments of the public, and was revoked after
1630# only two weeks - I copied it as Saturday, 1912-07-07, 22:00, but
1631# presumably that should be -07-06.  (1912-06-19, -07-12; also letters

1658#     The one-hour setback will go into effect throughout most of Ontario,

1660#
1661# Windsor is, of course, a lot larger than Nipigon.

1663# I only came across this incidentally.  I don't know if Windsor began

1799# I believe that the English legislation [of the old time act] had

1801# Also, as far as I can tell, there was no order-in-council varying

1842# Saskatchewan
1843
1844# From Mark Brader (2003-07-26):
1845# The first actual adoption of DST in Canada was at the municipal
1846# level.  As the [Toronto] Star put it (1912-06-07), "While people
1847# elsewhere have long been talking of legislation to save daylight,
1848# the city of Moose Jaw [Saskatchewan] has acted on its own hook."
1849# DST in Moose Jaw began on Saturday, 1912-06-01 (no time mentioned:
1850# presumably late evening, as below), and would run until "the end of
1851# the summer".  The discrepancy between municipal time and railroad
1852# time was noted.
1853
1854# From Paul Eggert (2003-07-27):
1855# Willett (1914-03) notes that DST "has been in operation ... in the
1856# City of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, for one year."
1857
1858# From Paul Eggert (2019-07-25):
1859# Pearce's book says Regina observed DST in 1914-1917.  No dates and times,
1860# unfortunately.  It also says that in 1914 Saskatoon observed DST
1861# from 1 June to 6 July, and that DST was also tried out in Davidson,
1862# Melfort, and Prince Albert.
1863
1864# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
1865# Shanks & Pottenger say that since 1970 this region has mostly been as Regina.
1866# Some western towns (e.g. Swift Current) switched from MST/MDT to CST in 1972.
1867# Other western towns (e.g. Lloydminster) are like Edmonton.
1868# Matthews and Vincent (1998) write that Denare Beach and Creighton
1869# are like Winnipeg, in violation of Saskatchewan law.
1870
1871# From W. Jones (1992-11-06):
1872# The. . .below is based on information I got from our law library, the
1873# provincial archives, and the provincial Community Services department.
1874# A precise history would require digging through newspaper archives, and
1875# since you didn't say what you wanted, I didn't bother.
1876#
1877# Saskatchewan is split by a time zone meridian (105W) and over the years
1878# the boundary became pretty ragged as communities near it reevaluated
1879# their affiliations in one direction or the other.  In 1965 a provincial
1880# referendum favoured legislating common time practices.
1881#
1882# On 15 April 1966 the Time Act (c. T-14, Revised Statutes of
1883# Saskatchewan 1978) was proclaimed, and established that the eastern
1884# part of Saskatchewan would use CST year round, that districts in
1885# northwest Saskatchewan would by default follow CST but could opt to
1886# follow Mountain Time rules (thus 1 hour difference in the winter and
1887# zero in the summer), and that districts in southwest Saskatchewan would
1888# by default follow MT but could opt to follow CST.
1889#
1890# It took a few years for the dust to settle (I know one story of a town
1891# on one time zone having its school in another, such that a mom had to
1892# serve her family lunch in two shifts), but presently it seems that only
1893# a few towns on the border with Alberta (e.g. Lloydminster) follow MT
1894# rules any more; all other districts appear to have used CST year round
1895# since sometime in the 1960s.
1896
1897# From Chris Walton (2006-06-26):
1898# The Saskatchewan time act which was last updated in 1996 is about 30 pages
1899# long and rather painful to read.

2159# Basic Facts: The New Territory
2160# http://www.nunavut.com/basicfacts/english/basicfacts_1territory.html
2161# (1999) reports that Pangnirtung operates on eastern time,
2162# and that Coral Harbour does not observe DST.  We don't know when
2163# Pangnirtung switched to eastern time; we'll guess 1995.
2164
2165# From Rives McDow (1999-11-08):
2166# On October 31, when the rest of Nunavut went to Central time,
2167# Pangnirtung wobbled.  Here is the result of their wobble:
2168#
2169# The following businesses and organizations in Pangnirtung use Central Time:
2170#
2171#	First Air, Power Corp, Nunavut Construction, Health Center, RCMP,
2172#	Eastern Arctic National Parks, A & D Specialist
2173#
2174# The following businesses and organizations in Pangnirtung use Eastern Time:
2175#
2176#	Hamlet office, All other businesses, Both schools, Airport operator
2177#
2178# This has made for an interesting situation there, which warranted the news.
2179# No one there that I spoke with seems concerned, or has plans to
2180# change the local methods of keeping time, as it evidently does not
2181# really interfere with any activities or make things difficult locally.
2182# They plan to celebrate New Year's turn-over twice, one hour apart,
2183# so it appears that the situation will last at least that long.
2184# The Nunavut Intergovernmental Affairs hopes that they will "come to
2185# their senses", but the locals evidently don't see any problem with
2186# the current state of affairs.
2187
2188# From Michaela Rodrigue, writing in the
2189# Nunatsiaq News (1999-11-19):
2190# http://www.nunatsiaqonline.ca/archives/nunavut991130/nvt91119_17.html
2191# Clyde River, Pangnirtung and Sanikiluaq now operate with two time zones,
2192# central - or Nunavut time - for government offices, and eastern time
2193# for municipal offices and schools....  Igloolik [was similar but then]
2194# made the switch to central time on Saturday, Nov. 6.
2195
2196# From Paul Eggert (2000-10-02):
2197# Matthews and Vincent (1998) say the following, but we lack histories
2198# for these potential new Zones.
2199#
2200# The Canadian Forces station at Alert uses Eastern Time while the
2201# handful of residents at the Eureka weather station [in the Central
2202# zone] skip daylight savings.  Baffin Island, which is crossed by the
2203# Central, Eastern and Atlantic Time zones only uses Eastern Time.
2204# Gjoa Haven, Taloyoak and Pelly Bay all use Mountain instead of
2205# Central Time and Southampton Island [in the Central zone] is not
2206# required to use daylight savings.
2207
2208# From <http://www.nunatsiaqonline.ca/archives/nunavut001130/nvt21110_02.html>
2209# Nunavut now has two time zones (2000-11-10):
2210# The Nunavut government would allow its employees in Kugluktuk and
2211# Cambridge Bay to operate on central time year-round, putting them
2212# one hour behind the rest of Nunavut for six months during the winter.
2213# At the end of October the two communities had rebelled against
2214# Nunavut's unified time zone, refusing to shift to eastern time with
2215# the rest of the territory for the winter.  Cambridge Bay remained on
2216# central time, while Kugluktuk, even farther west, reverted to
2217# mountain time, which they had used before the advent of Nunavut's
2218# unified time zone in 1999.
2219#
2220# From Rives McDow (2001-01-20), quoting the Nunavut government:
2221# The preceding decision came into effect at midnight, Saturday Nov 4, 2000.
2222
2223# From Paul Eggert (2000-12-04):
2224# Let's just keep track of the official times for now.
2225
2226# From Rives McDow (2001-03-07):
2227# The premier of Nunavut has issued a ministerial statement advising
2228# that effective 2001-04-01, the territory of Nunavut will revert
2229# back to three time zones (mountain, central, and eastern).  Of the
2230# cities in Nunavut, Coral Harbor is the only one that I know of that
2231# has said it will not observe dst, staying on EST year round.  I'm
2232# checking for more info, and will get back to you if I come up with
2233# more.

2235
2236# From Gwillim Law (2005-05-21):
2237# According to ...
2238# http://www.canadiangeographic.ca/Magazine/SO98/geomap.asp
2239# (from a 1998 Canadian Geographic article), the de facto and de jure time
2240# for Southampton Island (at the north end of Hudson Bay) is UTC-5 all year
2241# round.  Using Google, it's easy to find other websites that confirm this.
2242# I wasn't able to find how far back this time regimen goes, but since it
2243# predates the creation of Nunavut, it probably goes back many years....
2244# The Inuktitut name of Coral Harbour is Sallit, but it's rarely used.
2245#
2246# From Paul Eggert (2014-10-17):
2247# For lack of better information, assume that Southampton Island observed
2248# daylight saving only during wartime.  Gwillim Law's email also
2249# mentioned maps now maintained by National Research Council Canada;
2250# see above for an up-to-date link.
2251
2252# From Chris Walton (2007-03-01):
2253# ... the community of Resolute (located on Cornwallis Island in
2254# Nunavut) moved from Central Time to Eastern Time last November.
2255# Basically the community did not change its clocks at the end of
2256# daylight saving....
2257# http://www.nnsl.com/frames/newspapers/2006-11/nov13_06none.html
2258
2259# From Chris Walton (2011-03-21):
2260# Back in 2007 I initiated the creation of a new "zone file" for Resolute
2261# Bay. Resolute Bay is a small community located about 900km north of
2262# the Arctic Circle. The zone file was required because Resolute Bay had
2263# decided to use UTC-5 instead of UTC-6 for the winter of 2006-2007.
2264#
2265# According to new information which I received last week, Resolute Bay
2266# went back to using UTC-6 in the winter of 2007-2008...
2267#
2268# On March 11/2007 most of Canada went onto daylight saving. On March
2269# 14/2007 I phoned the Resolute Bay hamlet office to do a "time check." I
2270# talked to somebody that was both knowledgeable and helpful. I was able
2271# to confirm that Resolute Bay was still operating on UTC-5. It was
2272# explained to me that Resolute Bay had been on the Eastern Time zone
2273# (EST) in the winter, and was now back on the Central Time zone (CDT).
2274# i.e. the time zone had changed twice in the last year but the clocks
2275# had not moved. The residents had to know which time zone they were in
2276# so they could follow the correct TV schedule...
2277#
2278# On Nov 02/2008 most of Canada went onto standard time. On Nov 03/2008 I
2279# phoned the Resolute Bay hamlet office...[D]ue to the challenging nature
2280# of the phone call, I decided to seek out an alternate source of
2281# information. I found an e-mail address for somebody by the name of
2282# Stephanie Adams whose job was listed as "Inns North Support Officer for
2283# Arctic Co-operatives." I was under the impression that Stephanie lived
2284# and worked in Resolute Bay...
2285#
2286# On March 14/2011 I phoned the hamlet office again. I was told that
2287# Resolute Bay had been using Central Standard Time over the winter of
2288# 2010-2011 and that the clocks had therefore been moved one hour ahead
2289# on March 13/2011. The person I talked to was aware that Resolute Bay
2290# had previously experimented with Eastern Standard Time but he could not
2291# tell me when the practice had stopped.
2292#
2293# On March 17/2011 I searched the Web to find an e-mail address of
2294# somebody that might be able to tell me exactly when Resolute Bay went
2295# off Eastern Standard Time. I stumbled on the name "Aziz Kheraj." Aziz
2296# used to be the mayor of Resolute Bay and he apparently owns half the
2297# businesses including "South Camp Inn." This website has some info on
2298# Aziz:
2299# http://www.uphere.ca/node/493
2300#
2301# I sent Aziz an e-mail asking when Resolute Bay had stopped using
2302# Eastern Standard Time.
2303#
2304# Aziz responded quickly with this: "hi, The time was not changed for the
2305# 1 year only, the following year, the community went back to the old way
2306# of "spring ahead-fall behind" currently we are zulu plus 5 hrs and in
2307# the winter Zulu plus 6 hrs"
2308#
2309# This of course conflicted with everything I had ascertained in November 2008.
2310#
2311# I sent Aziz a copy of my 2008 e-mail exchange with Stephanie. Aziz
2312# responded with this: "Hi, Stephanie lives in Winnipeg. I live here, You
2313# may want to check with the weather office in Resolute Bay or do a
2314# search on the weather through Env. Canada. web site"
2315#
2316# If I had realized the Stephanie did not live in Resolute Bay I would
2317# never have contacted her.  I now believe that all the information I
2318# obtained in November 2008 should be ignored...
2319# I apologize for reporting incorrect information in 2008.
2320
2321# From Tim Parenti (2020-03-05):
2322# The government of Yukon announced [yesterday] the cessation of seasonal time

2324# will remain on [UTC-07].  ... [The government] found 93 per cent of

2412# From Paul Eggert (2014-12-07):
2413# The Investigation and Analysis Service of the
2414# Mexican Library of Congress (MLoC) has published a
2415# history of Mexican local time (in Spanish)
2416# http://www.diputados.gob.mx/bibliot/publica/inveyana/polisoc/horver/index.htm
2417#
2418# Here are the discrepancies between Shanks & Pottenger (S&P) and the MLoC.
2419# (In all cases we go with the MLoC.)
2420# S&P report that Baja was at -8:00 in 1922/1923.
2421# S&P say the 1930 transition in Baja was 1930-11-16.
2422# S&P report no DST during summer 1931.
2423# S&P report a transition at 1932-03-30 23:00, not 1932-04-01.
2424
2425# From Gwillim Law (2001-02-20):
2426# There are some other discrepancies between the Decrees page and the
2427# tz database.  I think they can best be explained by supposing that
2428# the researchers who prepared the Decrees page failed to find some of
2429# the relevant documents.
2430
2431# From Alan Perry (1996-02-15):
2432# A guy from our Mexico subsidiary finally found the Presidential Decree
2433# outlining the timezone changes in Mexico.
2434#
2435# ------------- Begin Forwarded Message -------------
2436#
2437# I finally got my hands on the Official Presidential Decree that sets up the
2438# rules for the DST changes. The rules are:
2439#
2440# 1. The country is divided in 3 timezones:
2441#    - Baja California Norte (the Mexico/BajaNorte TZ)
2442#    - Baja California Sur, Nayarit, Sinaloa and Sonora (the Mexico/BajaSur TZ)
2443#    - The rest of the country (the Mexico/General TZ)
2444#
2445# 2. From the first Sunday in April at 2:00 AM to the last Sunday in October
2446#    at 2:00 AM, the times in each zone are as follows:
2447#    BajaNorte: GMT+7
2448#    BajaSur:   GMT+6
2449#    General:   GMT+5
2450#
2451# 3. The rest of the year, the times are as follows:
2452#    BajaNorte: GMT+8
2453#    BajaSur:   GMT+7
2454#    General:   GMT+6
2455#
2456# The Decree was published in Mexico's Official Newspaper on January 4th.

2464# From Rives McDow (1998-10-08):
2465# The State of Quintana Roo has reverted back to central STD and DST times
2466# (i.e. UTC -0600 and -0500 as of 1998-08-02).
2467
2468# From Rives McDow (2000-01-10):
2469# Effective April 4, 1999 at 2:00 AM local time, Sonora changed to the time
2470# zone 5 hours from the International Date Line, and will not observe daylight
2471# savings time so as to stay on the same time zone as the southern part of
2472# Arizona year round.
2473
2474# From Jesper Nørgaard, translating
2475# <http://www.reforma.com/nacional/articulo/064327/> (2001-01-17):
2476# In Oaxaca, the 55.000 teachers from the Section 22 of the National
2477# Syndicate of Education Workers, refuse to apply daylight saving each
2478# year, so that the more than 10,000 schools work at normal hour the
2479# whole year.

2481# From Gwillim Law (2001-01-19):
2482# <http://www.reforma.com/negocios_y_dinero/articulo/064481/> ... says

2491# From Arthur David Olson (2001-01-25):
2492# The 2001-01-24 traditional Washington Post contained the page one
2493# story "Timely Issue Divides Mexicans."...
2494# http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A37383-2001Jan23.html
2495# ... Mexico City Mayor López Obrador "...is threatening to keep
2496# Mexico City and its 20 million residents on a different time than
2497# the rest of the country..." In particular, López Obrador would abolish

2500# Official statute published by the Energy Department
2501# http://www.conae.gob.mx/ahorro/decretohorver2001.html#decre
2502# (2001-02-01) shows Baja and Chihauhua as still using US DST rules,

2507# https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2001-mar-03-mn-32561-story.html
2508# James F. Smith writes in today's LA Times
2509# * Sonora will continue to observe standard time.
2510# * Last week Mexico City's mayor Andrés Manuel López Obrador decreed that
2511#   the Federal District will not adopt DST.
2512# * 4 of 16 district leaders announced they'll ignore the decree.
2513# * The decree does not affect federal-controlled facilities including
2514#   the airport, banks, hospitals, and schools.
2515#
2516# For now we'll assume that the Federal District will bow to federal rules.
2517
2518# From Jesper Nørgaard (2001-04-01):
2519# I found some references to the Mexican application of daylight
2520# saving, which modifies what I had already sent you, stating earlier
2521# that a number of northern Mexican states would go on daylight
2522# saving. The modification reverts this to only cover Baja California
2523# (Norte), while all other states (except Sonora, who has no daylight
2524# saving all year) will follow the original decree of president
2525# Vicente Fox, starting daylight saving May 6, 2001 and ending
2526# September 30, 2001.

2530# From Reuters (2001-09-04):
2531# Mexico's Supreme Court on Tuesday declared that daylight savings was
2532# unconstitutional in Mexico City, creating the possibility the
2533# capital will be in a different time zone from the rest of the nation
2534# next year....  The Supreme Court's ruling takes effect at 2:00
2535# a.m. (0800 GMT) on Sept. 30, when Mexico is scheduled to revert to
2536# standard time. "This is so residents of the Federal District are not
2537# subject to unexpected time changes," a statement from the court said.
2538
2539# From Jesper Nørgaard Welen (2002-03-12):
2540# ... consulting my local grocery store(!) and my coworkers, they all insisted

2542# http://www.conae.gob.mx/ahorro/horaver2001_m1_2002.html (2002-02-20)

2787# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
2788# Formerly there was an America/Ensenada zone, which differed from
2789# America/Tijuana only in that it did not observe DST from 1976
2790# through 1995.  This was as per Shanks (1999).  But Shanks & Pottenger say
2791# Ensenada did not observe DST from 1948 through 1975.  Guy Harris reports
2792# that the 1987 OAG says "Only Ensenada, Mexicali, San Felipe and
2793# Tijuana observe DST," which agrees with Shanks & Pottenger but implies that
2794# DST-observance was a town-by-town matter back then.  This concerns
2795# data after 1970 so most likely there should be at least one Zone
2796# other than America/Tijuana for Baja, but it's not clear yet what its
2797# name or contents should be.

3065# the Orioles Radio Network, including affiliate WTOP in Washington, DC.
3066# During the game, play-by-play announcer Jim Hunter noted that

3068# Time today."  (The "two hour" remark referred to losing one hour of
3069# sleep on 1999-03-28 - when the announcers were in Cuba as it switched

3132# It seems that Cuba will start DST on Sunday, 2007-03-16...

3139# The article also says that Cuba has been observing DST since 1963,
3140# while Shanks (and tzdata) has 1965 as the first date (except in the
3141# 1940's). Many other web pages in Cuba also claim that it has been
3142# observed since 1963, but with the exception of 1970 - an exception
3143# which is not present in tzdata/Shanks. So there is a chance we need to
3144# change some historic records as well.

3362# I have been informed by users that Haiti observes DST this year like
3363# last year, so the current "only" rule for 2005 might be changed to a
3364# "max" rule or to last until 2006. (Who knows if they will observe DST
3365# next year or if they will extend their DST like US/Canada next year).
3366#
3367# I have found this article about it (in French):

3376# According to several news sources, Haiti will observe DST this year,

3660# http://online.fliphtml5.com/fizd/dmcu/#p=2
3661#
3662# From Tim Parenti (2020-12-05):
3663# Although L.N. 31/2017 reads that it "shall come into operation at 2:00 a.m.
3664# on 11th March 2018", a precise interpretation here poses some problems.  The
3665# order states that "the standard time to be observed throughout the Turks and
3666# Caicos Islands shall be the same time zone as the Eastern United States of
3667# America" and further clarifies "[f]or the avoidance of doubt" that it
3668# "applies to the Eastern Standard Time as well as any changes thereto for
3669# Daylight Saving Time."  However, as clocks in Turks and Caicos approached
3670# 02:00 -04, and thus the declared implementation time, it was still 01:00 EST
3671# (-05), as DST in the Eastern US would not start until an hour later.
3672#
3673# Since it is unlikely that those on the islands switched their clocks twice in
3674# the span of an hour, we assume instead that the adoption of EDT actually took
3675# effect once clocks in the Eastern US had sprung forward, from 03:00 -04.
3676# This discrepancy only affects the time zone abbreviation and DST flag for the
3677# intervening hour, not wall clock times, as -04 was maintained throughout.
