1858787Sru# From Paul Eggert (1999-03-31):
1958787Sru# Howse writes (pp 121-125) that time zones were invented by
2058787Sru# Professor Charles Ferdinand Dowd (1825-1904),
2158787Sru# Principal of Temple Grove Ladies' Seminary (Saratoga Springs, NY).
2258787Sru# His pamphlet ``A System of National Time for Railroads'' (1870)
2358787Sru# was the result of his proposals at the Convention of Railroad Trunk Lines
2458787Sru# in New York City (1869-10).  His 1870 proposal was based on Washington, DC,
2558787Sru# but in 1872-05 he moved the proposed origin to Greenwich.
2658787Sru# His proposal was adopted by the railroads on 1883-11-18 at 12:00,
2758787Sru# and the most of the country soon followed suit.

33158421Swollman# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
3414343Swollman# A good source for time zone historical data in the US is
3514343Swollman# Thomas G. Shanks, The American Atlas (5th edition),
3614343Swollman# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (1991).
3714343Swollman# Make sure you have the errata sheet; the book is somewhat useless without it.
38158421Swollman# It is the source for most of the pre-1991 US entries below.

4075267Swollman# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-06):
4117200Swollman# Daylight Saving Time was first suggested as a joke by Benjamin Franklin
4275267Swollman# in his whimsical essay ``An Economical Project for Diminishing the Cost
4375267Swollman# of Light'' published in the Journal de Paris (1784-04-26).
4417200Swollman# Not everyone is happy with the results:
4517200Swollman#
4617200Swollman#	I don't really care how time is reckoned so long as there is some
4717200Swollman#	agreement about it, but I object to being told that I am saving
4817200Swollman#	daylight when my reason tells me that I am doing nothing of the kind.
4917200Swollman#	I even object to the implication that I am wasting something
5017200Swollman#	valuable if I stay in bed after the sun has risen.  As an admirer
5117200Swollman#	of moonlight I resent the bossy insistence of those who want to
5217200Swollman#	reduce my time for enjoying it.  At the back of the Daylight Saving
5317200Swollman#	scheme I detect the bony, blue-fingered hand of Puritanism, eager
5417200Swollman#	to push people into bed earlier, and get them up earlier, to make
5517200Swollman#	them healthy, wealthy and wise in spite of themselves.

6275267Swollman# Ten years of daylight saving from the Pittsburgh standpoint
6375267Swollman# (Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, 1927)</a>.
6475267Swollman#
6575267Swollman# Shanks says that DST was called "War Time" in the US in 1918 and 1919.
6675267Swollman# However, DST was imposed by the Standard Time Act of 1918, which
6775267Swollman# was the first nationwide legal time standard, and apparently
6875267Swollman# time was just called "Standard Time" or "Daylight Saving Time".

702742Swollman# From Arthur David Olson:
712742Swollman# US Daylight Saving Time ended on the last Sunday of *October* in 1974.
7219878Swollman# See, for example, the front page of the Saturday, 1974-10-26
7319878Swollman# and Sunday, 1974-10-27 editions of the Washington Post.
742742Swollman
752742Swollman# From Arthur David Olson:
762742Swollman# Before the Uniform Time Act of 1966 took effect in 1967, observance of
772742Swollman# Daylight Saving Time in the US was by local option, except during wartime.
782742Swollman
7967578Swollman# From Arthur David Olson (2000-09-25):
8067578Swollman# Last night I heard part of a rebroadcast of a 1945 Arch Oboler radio drama.
8167578Swollman# In the introduction, Oboler spoke of "Eastern Peace Time."
8267578Swollman# An AltaVista search turned up
8367578Swollman# <a href="http://rowayton.org/rhs/hstaug45.html">:
8467578Swollman# "When the time is announced over the radio now, it is 'Eastern Peace
8567578Swollman# Time' instead of the old familiar 'Eastern War Time.'  Peace is wonderful."
8667578Swollman# </a> (August 1945) by way of confirmation.
8767578Swollman
88149514Swollman# From Joseph Gallant citing
8967578Swollman# George H. Douglas, _The Early Days of Radio Broadcasting_ (1987):
9067578Swollman# At 7 P.M. (Eastern War Time) [on 1945-08-14], the networks were set
9186222Swollman# to switch to London for Attlee's address, but the American people
9267578Swollman# never got to hear his speech live. According to one press account,
9367578Swollman# CBS' Bob Trout was first to announce the word of Japan's surrender,
9467578Swollman# but a few seconds later, NBC, ABC and Mutual also flashed the word
9567578Swollman# of surrender, all of whom interrupting the bells of Big Ben in
9686222Swollman# London which were to precede Mr. Attlee's speech.
9767578Swollman
98114173Swollman# From Paul Eggert (2003-02-09): It was Robert St John, not Bob Trout.  From
99114173Swollman# Myrna Oliver's obituary of St John on page B16 of today's Los Angeles Times:
100114173Swollman#
101114173Swollman# ... a war-weary U.S. clung to radios, awaiting word of Japan's surrender.
102114173Swollman# Any announcement from Asia would reach St. John's New York newsroom on a
103114173Swollman# wire service teletype machine, which had prescribed signals for major news.
104114173Swollman# Associated Press, for example, would ring five bells before spewing out
105114173Swollman# typed copy of an important story, and 10 bells for news "of transcendental
106114173Swollman# importance."
107114173Swollman#
108114173Swollman# On Aug. 14, stalling while talking steadily into the NBC networks' open
109114173Swollman# microphone, St. John heard five bells and waited only to hear a sixth bell,
110114173Swollman# before announcing confidently: "Ladies and gentlemen, World War II is over.
111114173Swollman# The Japanese have agreed to our surrender terms."
112114173Swollman#
113114173Swollman# He had scored a 20-second scoop on other broadcasters.
114114173Swollman
115149590Swollman# From Arthur David Olson (2005-08-22):
116149590Swollman# Paul has been careful to use the "US" rules only in those locations
117149590Swollman# that are part of the United States; this reflects the real scope of
118149590Swollman# U.S. government action.  So even though the "US" rules have changed
119149590Swollman# in the latest release, other countries won't be affected.

39075267Swollman# ignoring the switch from Julian to Gregorian, since we can't represent

39586222Swollman# (Yakutat was colonized by the Russians in 1799, but the settlement
39686222Swollman# was destroyed in 1805 by a Yakutat-kon war party.)  However, there
39786222Swollman# were nearby inhabitants in some cases and for our purposes perhaps
39886222Swollman# it's best to simply use the official transition.

560158421Swollman# Shanks partitioned Indiana into 345 regions, each with its own time history,

56314343Swollman# Fortunately, most of the complexity occurred before our cutoff date of 1970.

56514343Swollman# Other than Indianapolis, the Indiana place names are so nondescript

582158421Swollman# Strictly speaking, this means the affected counties will change their

77358787Sru# that Detroit kept
77414343Swollman#
77514343Swollman#	local time until 1900 when the City Council decreed that clocks should
77614343Swollman#	be put back twenty-eight minutes to Central Standard Time.  Half the
77714343Swollman#	city obeyed, half refused.  After considerable debate, the decision
77814343Swollman#	was rescinded and the city reverted to Sun time.  A derisive offer to
77914343Swollman#	erect a sundial in front of the city hall was referred to the
78014343Swollman#	Committee on Sewers.  Then, in 1905, Central time was adopted

1120158421Swollman# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
1121158421Swollman# Shanks & Pottenger writes that since 1970 most of Ontario has been like
1122158421Swollman# Toronto, and most of Quebec has been like Montreal.
112317200Swollman# Thunder Bay skipped DST in 1973.
112417200Swollman# Many smaller locales did not observe peacetime DST until 1974;
112517200Swollman# Nipigon (EST) and Rainy River (CST) are the largest that we know of.
112617200Swollman# Far west Ontario is like Winnipeg; far east Quebec is like Halifax.
112717200Swollman
1128121098Swollman# From Mark Brader (2003-07-26):
1129121098Swollman# [According to the Toronto Star] Orillia, Ontario, adopted DST
1130121098Swollman# effective Saturday, 1912-06-22, 22:00; the article mentions that
1131121098Swollman# Port Arthur (now part of Thunder Bay, Ontario) as well as Moose Jaw
1132121098Swollman# have already done so.  In Orillia DST was to run until Saturday,
1133121098Swollman# 1912-08-31 (no time mentioned), but it was met with considerable
1134121098Swollman# hostility from certain segments of the public, and was revoked after
1135121098Swollman# only two weeks -- I copied it as Saturday, 1912-07-07, 22:00, but
1136121098Swollman# presumably that should be -07-06.  (1912-06-19, -07-12; also letters
1137121098Swollman# earlier in June).
1138121098Swollman#
1139121098Swollman# Kenora, Ontario, was to abandon DST on 1914-06-01 (-05-21).
1140121098Swollman
114143014Swollman# From Paul Eggert (1997-10-17):
1142121098Swollman# Mark Brader writes that an article in the 1997-10-14 Toronto Star
114343014Swollman# says that Atikokan, Ontario currently does not observe DST,
114443014Swollman# but will vote on 11-10 whether to use EST/EDT.
114543014Swollman# He also writes that the
114643014Swollman# <a href="http://www.gov.on.ca/MBS/english/publications/statregs/conttext.html">
114743014Swollman# Ontario Time Act (1990, Chapter T.9)
114843014Swollman# </a>
114943014Swollman# says that Ontario east of 90W uses EST/EDT, and west of 90W uses CST/CDT.
115043014Swollman# Officially Atikokan is therefore on CST/CDT, and most likely this report
115143014Swollman# concerns a non-official time observed as a matter of local practice.
1152158421Swollman#
1153158421Swollman# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
1154158421Swollman# For what it's worth, Shanks & Pottenger say that Atikokan has agreed with
115543014Swollman# Rainy River ever since standard time was introduced.
115643014Swollman
115767578Swollman# From Paul Eggert (2000-10-02):
115867578Swollman# Matthews and Vincent (1998) write that Atikokan, Pickle Lake, and
115967578Swollman# New Osnaburgh observe CST all year, that Big Trout Lake observes
116067578Swollman# CST/CDT, and that Upsala and Shebandowan observe EST/EDT, all in
116167578Swollman# violation of the official Ontario rules.
116267578Swollman# They also write that Quebec east of the -63 meridian is supposed to
116367578Swollman# observe AST, but residents as far east as Natashquan use EST/EDT,
116467578Swollman# and residents east of Natashquan use AST.
116567578Swollman# We probably need Zones for far east Quebec and for Atikokan,
116667578Swollman# but we don't know when their practices started.

1289158421Swollman# http://web2.gov.mb.ca/laws/statutes/ccsm/o030e.php

1293158421Swollman# the old Manitoba Time Act - as amended by Bill 2, assented to
1294158421Swollman# March 27, 1987 ... said ...
1295158421Swollman# "between two o'clock Central Standard Time in the morning of

1297158421Swollman# Standard Time in the morning of the last Sunday of October next

1299158421Swollman# I believe that the English legislation [of the old time act] had =
1300158421Swollman# been assented to (March 22, 1967)....
1301158421Swollman# Also, as far as I can tell, there was no order-in-council varying
1302158421Swollman# the time of Daylight Saving Time for 2005 and so the provisions of
1303158421Swollman# the 1987 version would apply - the changeover was at 2:00 Central

134217200Swollman# Saskatchewan
134317200Swollman
1344121098Swollman# From Mark Brader (2003-07-26):
1345121098Swollman# The first actual adoption of DST in Canada was at the municipal
1346121098Swollman# level.  As the [Toronto] Star put it (1912-06-07), "While people
1347121098Swollman# elsewhere have long been talking of legislation to save daylight,
1348121098Swollman# the city of Moose Jaw [Saskatchewan] has acted on its own hook."
1349121098Swollman# DST in Moose Jaw began on Saturday, 1912-06-01 (no time mentioned:
1350121098Swollman# presumably late evening, as below), and would run until "the end of
1351121098Swollman# the summer".  The discrepancy between municipal time and railroad
1352121098Swollman# time was noted.
1353121098Swollman
1354121098Swollman# From Paul Eggert (2003-07-27):
1355121098Swollman# Willett (1914-03) notes that DST "has been in operation ... in the
1356121098Swollman# City of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, for one year."
1357121098Swollman
1358158421Swollman# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
1359158421Swollman# Shanks & Pottenger say that since 1970 this region has mostly been as Regina.
136017200Swollman# Some western towns (e.g. Swift Current) switched from MST/MDT to CST in 1972.
136117200Swollman# Other western towns (e.g. Lloydminster) are like Edmonton.
136267578Swollman# Matthews and Vincent (1998) write that Denare Beach and Creighton
136367578Swollman# are like Winnipeg, in violation of Saskatchewan law.
136417200Swollman
1365149514Swollman# From W. Jones (1992-11-06):
136617200Swollman# The. . .below is based on information I got from our law library, the
136717200Swollman# provincial archives, and the provincial Community Services department.
136817200Swollman# A precise history would require digging through newspaper archives, and
136917200Swollman# since you didn't say what you wanted, I didn't bother.
137017200Swollman#
137117200Swollman# Saskatchewan is split by a time zone meridian (105W) and over the years
137217200Swollman# the boundary became pretty ragged as communities near it reevaluated
137317200Swollman# their affiliations in one direction or the other.  In 1965 a provincial
137417200Swollman# referendum favoured legislating common time practices.
137517200Swollman#
137617200Swollman# On 15 April 1966 the Time Act (c. T-14, Revised Statutes of
137717200Swollman# Saskatchewan 1978) was proclaimed, and established that the eastern
137817200Swollman# part of Saskatchewan would use CST year round, that districts in
137917200Swollman# northwest Saskatchewan would by default follow CST but could opt to
138017200Swollman# follow Mountain Time rules (thus 1 hour difference in the winter and
138117200Swollman# zero in the summer), and that districts in southwest Saskatchewan would
138217200Swollman# by default follow MT but could opt to follow CST.
138317200Swollman#
138417200Swollman# It took a few years for the dust to settle (I know one story of a town
138517200Swollman# on one time zone having its school in another, such that a mom had to
138617200Swollman# serve her family lunch in two shifts), but presently it seems that only
138717200Swollman# a few towns on the border with Alberta (e.g. Lloydminster) follow MT
138817200Swollman# rules any more; all other districts appear to have used CST year round
138917200Swollman# since sometime in the 1960s.

151258787Sru# On October 31, when the rest of Nunavut went to Central time,
151358787Sru# Pangnirtung wobbled.  Here is the result of their wobble:
151458787Sru#
151558787Sru# The following businesses and organizations in Pangnirtung use Central Time:

152258787Sru#	Hamlet office, All other businesses, Both schools, Airport operator
152358787Sru#
152458787Sru# This has made for an interesting situation there, which warranted the news.
152558787Sru# No one there that I spoke with seems concerned, or has plans to
152658787Sru# change the local methods of keeping time, as it evidently does not
152758787Sru# really interfere with any activities or make things difficult locally.
152858787Sru# They plan to celebrate New Year's turn-over twice, one hour apart,
152958787Sru# so it appears that the situation will last at least that long.
153058787Sru# The Nunavut Intergovernmental Affairs hopes that they will "come to
153158787Sru# their senses", but the locals evidently don't see any problem with
153258787Sru# the current state of affairs.

177275267Swollman# I found some references to the Mexican application of daylight
177375267Swollman# saving, which modifies what I had already sent you, stating earlier
177475267Swollman# that a number of northern Mexican states would go on daylight
177575267Swollman# saving. The modification reverts this to only cover Baja California
177675267Swollman# (Norte), while all other states (except Sonora, who has no daylight
177775267Swollman# saving all year) will follow the original decree of president
177875267Swollman# Vicente Fox, starting daylight saving May 6, 2001 and ending
177975267Swollman# September 30, 2001.

178386222Swollman# From Reuters (2001-09-04):
178486222Swollman# Mexico's Supreme Court on Tuesday declared that daylight savings was
178586222Swollman# unconstitutional in Mexico City, creating the possibility the
178686222Swollman# capital will be in a different time zone from the rest of the nation
178786222Swollman# next year....  The Supreme Court's ruling takes effect at 2:00
178886222Swollman# a.m. (0800 GMT) on Sept. 30, when Mexico is scheduled to revert to
178986222Swollman# standard time. "This is so residents of the Federal District are not
179086222Swollman# subject to unexpected time changes," a statement from the court said.

179293799Swollman# From Jesper Norgaard Welen (2002-03-12):
179393799Swollman# ... consulting my local grocery store(!) and my coworkers, they all insisted
179493799Swollman# that a new decision had been made to reinstate US style DST in Mexico....
179593799Swollman# http://www.conae.gob.mx/ahorro/horaver2001_m1_2002.html (2002-02-20)
179693799Swollman# confirms this.  Sonora as usual is the only state where DST is not applied.

1892158421Swollman# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
189375267Swollman# Formerly there was an America/Ensenada zone, which differed from
189475267Swollman# America/Tijuana only in that it did not observe DST from 1976
1895158421Swollman# through 1995.  This was as per Shanks (1999).  But Shanks & Pottenger say
1896158421Swollman# Ensenada did not observe DST from 1948 through 1975.  Guy Harris reports
189775267Swollman# that the 1987 OAG says "Only Ensenada, Mexicale, San Felipe and
1898158421Swollman# Tijuana observe DST," which agrees with Shanks & Pottenger but implies that
189975267Swollman# DST-observance was a town-by-town matter back then.  This concerns
190075267Swollman# data after 1970 so most likely there should be at least one Zone
190175267Swollman# other than America/Tijuana for Baja, but it's not clear yet what its
190275267Swollman# name or contents should be.

198758787Sru# the Cuban National Team and the Baltimore Orioles was carried live on
198858787Sru# the Orioles Radio Network, including affiliate WTOP in Washington, DC.
198958787Sru# During the game, play-by-play announcer Jim Hunter noted that
199058787Sru# "We'll be losing two hours of sleep...Cuba switched to Daylight Saving
199158787Sru# Time today."  (The "two hour" remark referred to losing one hour of
199258787Sru# sleep on 1999-03-28--when the announcers were in Cuba as it switched
199358787Sru# to DST--and one more hour on 1999-04-04--when the announcers will have
