16# From Paul Eggert (1999-03-31):
17# Howse writes (pp 121-125) that time zones were invented by
18# Professor Charles Ferdinand Dowd (1825-1904),
19# Principal of Temple Grove Ladies' Seminary (Saratoga Springs, NY).
20# His pamphlet ``A System of National Time for Railroads'' (1870)
21# was the result of his proposals at the Convention of Railroad Trunk Lines
22# in New York City (1869-10).  His 1870 proposal was based on Washington, DC,
23# but in 1872-05 he moved the proposed origin to Greenwich.
24# His proposal was adopted by the railroads on 1883-11-18 at 12:00,
25# and the most of the country soon followed suit.
26
27# From Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> (1995-12-19):
28# A good source for time zone historical data in the US is
29# Thomas G. Shanks, The American Atlas (5th edition),
30# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (1991).
31# Make sure you have the errata sheet; the book is somewhat useless without it.
32# It is the source for the US and Puerto Rico entries below.
33
34# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-06):
35# Daylight Saving Time was first suggested as a joke by Benjamin Franklin
36# in his whimsical essay ``An Economical Project for Diminishing the Cost
37# of Light'' published in the Journal de Paris (1784-04-26).
38# Not everyone is happy with the results:
39#
40#	I don't really care how time is reckoned so long as there is some
41#	agreement about it, but I object to being told that I am saving
42#	daylight when my reason tells me that I am doing nothing of the kind.
43#	I even object to the implication that I am wasting something
44#	valuable if I stay in bed after the sun has risen.  As an admirer
45#	of moonlight I resent the bossy insistence of those who want to
46#	reduce my time for enjoying it.  At the back of the Daylight Saving
47#	scheme I detect the bony, blue-fingered hand of Puritanism, eager
48#	to push people into bed earlier, and get them up earlier, to make
49#	them healthy, wealthy and wise in spite of themselves.

51#	-- Robertson Davies, The Diary of Samuel Marchbanks (1947), XIX, Sunday
52#
53# For more about the first ten years of DST in the United States, see
54# Robert Garland's <a href="http://www.clpgh.org/exhibit/dst.html">
55# Ten years of daylight saving from the Pittsburgh standpoint
56# (Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, 1927)</a>.
57#
58# Shanks says that DST was called "War Time" in the US in 1918 and 1919.
59# However, DST was imposed by the Standard Time Act of 1918, which
60# was the first nationwide legal time standard, and apparently
61# time was just called "Standard Time" or "Daylight Saving Time".
62
63# From Arthur David Olson:
64# US Daylight Saving Time ended on the last Sunday of *October* in 1974.
65# See, for example, the front page of the Saturday, 1974-10-26
66# and Sunday, 1974-10-27 editions of the Washington Post.
67
68# From Arthur David Olson:
69# Before the Uniform Time Act of 1966 took effect in 1967, observance of
70# Daylight Saving Time in the US was by local option, except during wartime.
71
72# From Arthur David Olson (2000-09-25):
73# Last night I heard part of a rebroadcast of a 1945 Arch Oboler radio drama.
74# In the introduction, Oboler spoke of "Eastern Peace Time."
75# An AltaVista search turned up
76# <a href="http://rowayton.org/rhs/hstaug45.html">:
77# "When the time is announced over the radio now, it is 'Eastern Peace
78# Time' instead of the old familiar 'Eastern War Time.'  Peace is wonderful."
79# </a> (August 1945) by way of confirmation.
80
81# From Joseph Gallant <notquite@hotmail.com>, citing
82# George H. Douglas, _The Early Days of Radio Broadcasting_ (1987):
83# At 7 P.M. (Eastern War Time) [on 1945-08-14], the networks were set
84# to switch to London for Attlee's address, but the American people
85# never got to hear his speech live. According to one press account,
86# CBS' Bob Trout was first to announce the word of Japan's surrender,
87# but a few seconds later, NBC, ABC and Mutual also flashed the word
88# of surrender, all of whom interrupting the bells of Big Ben in
89# London which were to precede Mr. Attlee's speech.

181# Go with Shanks.
182#
183# From Paul Eggert (2000-01-08), following a heads-up from Rives McDow:
184# Public law 106-564 (2000-12-23) introduced the abbreviation

278# Alaska
279# AK%sT is the modern abbreviation for -9:00 per USNO.
280#
281# From Paul Eggert (2001-05-30):
282# Howse writes that Alaska switched from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar,
283# and from east-of-GMT to west-of-GMT days, when the US bought it from Russia.
284# This was on 1867-10-18, a Friday; the previous day was 1867-10-06 Julian,
285# also a Friday.  Include only the time zone part of this transition,
286# ignoring the switch from Julian to Gregorian, since we can't represent
287# the Julian calendar.
288#
289# As far as we know, none of the exact locations mentioned below were
290# permanently inhabited in 1867 by anyone using either calendar.
291# (Yakutat was colonized by the Russians in 1799, but the settlement
292# was destroyed in 1805 by a Yakutat-kon war party.)  However, there
293# were nearby inhabitants in some cases and for our purposes perhaps
294# it's best to simply use the official transition.

388# What time is it in Indiana?
389# </a> (1999-04-06)
390#
391# From Paul Eggert (1995-12-19):
392# Indiana generally observes either EST all year, or CST/CDT,
393# but areas near Cincinnati and Louisville use those cities' timekeeping
394# and in 1969 and 1970 the whole state observed daylight time;
395# and there are other exceptions as noted below.
396# Shanks partitions Indiana into 345 regions, each with its own time history,
397# and writes ``Even newspaper reports present contradictory information.''
398# Fortunately, most of the complexity occurred before our cutoff date of 1970.
399#
400# Since 1970, EST-only Indiana has been like America/Indianapolis,
401# with exceptions noted below for Crawford, Starke, and Switzerland counties.
402# The parts of Indiana not listed below have been like America/Chicago,
403# America/Louisville, or America/New_York.
404#
405# Other than Indianapolis, the Indiana place names are so nondescript
406# that they would be ambiguous if we left them at the `America' level.
407# So we reluctantly put them all in a subdirectory `America/Indiana'.
408#
409# Most of EST-only Indiana last observed DST in 1970.
410
411# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-06), following a tip by Markus Kuhn:
412# Pam Belluck reported in the New York Times (2001-01-31) that the
413# Indiana Legislature is considering a bill to adopt DST statewide.
414# Her article mentioned Vevay, whose post office observes a different
415# time zone from Danner's Hardware across the street.

504# Lake Cumberland LIFE
505# </a> (1999-01-29) via WKYM-101.7:
506# Clinton County has joined Wayne County in asking the DoT to change from
507# the Central to the Eastern time zone....  The Wayne County government made
508# the same request in December.  And while Russell County officials have not
509# taken action, the majority of respondents to a poll conducted there in
510# August indicated they would like to change to "fast time" also.
511# The three Lake Cumberland counties are the farthest east of any U.S.
512# location in the Central time zone.
513#
514# From Rich Wales (2000-08-29):
515# After prolonged debate, and despite continuing deep differences of opinion,
516# Wayne County (central Kentucky) is switching from Central (-0600) to Eastern
517# (-0500) time.  They won't "fall back" this year.  See Sara Shipley,
518# The difference an hour makes, Nando Times (2000-08-29 15:33 -0400).

557#
558# From Bob Devine (1988-01-28):
559# Michigan didn't observe DST from 1968 to 1973.
560#
561# From Paul Eggert (1999-03-31):
562# Shanks writes that Michigan started using standard time on 1885-09-18,
563# but Howse writes (pp 124-125, referring to Popular Astronomy, 1901-01)
564# that Detroit kept
565#
566#	local time until 1900 when the City Council decreed that clocks should
567#	be put back twenty-eight minutes to Central Standard Time.  Half the
568#	city obeyed, half refused.  After considerable debate, the decision
569#	was rescinded and the city reverted to Sun time.  A derisive offer to
570#	erect a sundial in front of the city hall was referred to the
571#	Committee on Sewers.  Then, in 1905, Central time was adopted
572#	by city vote.
573#
574# This story is too entertaining to be false, so go with Howse over Shanks.
575#
576# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-06):
577# Garland (1927) writes ``Cleveland and Detroit advanced their clocks
578# one hour in 1914.''  This change is not in Shanks.  We have no more
579# info, so omit this for now.

843
844# From Paul Eggert (1996-06-12):
845# Shanks writes that since 1970 most of this region has been like Montreal.
846# Thunder Bay skipped DST in 1973.
847# Many smaller locales did not observe peacetime DST until 1974;
848# Nipigon (EST) and Rainy River (CST) are the largest that we know of.
849# Far west Ontario is like Winnipeg; far east Quebec is like Halifax.
850
851# From Paul Eggert (1997-10-17):
852# msb@sq.com writes that an article in the 1997-10-14 Toronto Star
853# says that Atikokan, Ontario currently does not observe DST,
854# but will vote on 11-10 whether to use EST/EDT.
855# He also writes that the
856# <a href="http://www.gov.on.ca/MBS/english/publications/statregs/conttext.html">
857# Ontario Time Act (1990, Chapter T.9)
858# </a>
859# says that Ontario east of 90W uses EST/EDT, and west of 90W uses CST/CDT.
860# Officially Atikokan is therefore on CST/CDT, and most likely this report
861# concerns a non-official time observed as a matter of local practice.
862# For what it's worth, Shanks says that Atikokan has agreed with
863# Rainy River ever since standard time was introduced.
864
865# From Paul Eggert (2000-10-02):
866# Matthews and Vincent (1998) write that Atikokan, Pickle Lake, and
867# New Osnaburgh observe CST all year, that Big Trout Lake observes
868# CST/CDT, and that Upsala and Shebandowan observe EST/EDT, all in
869# violation of the official Ontario rules.
870# They also write that Quebec east of the -63 meridian is supposed to
871# observe AST, but residents as far east as Natashquan use EST/EDT,
872# and residents east of Natashquan use AST.
873# We probably need Zones for far east Quebec and for Atikokan,
874# but we don't know when their practices started.

955
956# From Paul Eggert (2000-10-02):
957# Shanks writes that since 1970 most of this region has been like Regina.
958# Some western towns (e.g. Swift Current) switched from MST/MDT to CST in 1972.
959# Other western towns (e.g. Lloydminster) are like Edmonton.
960# Matthews and Vincent (1998) write that Denare Beach and Creighton
961# are like Winnipeg, in violation of Saskatchewan law.
962
963# From W. Jones <jones@skdad.usask.ca> (1992-11-06):
964# The. . .below is based on information I got from our law library, the
965# provincial archives, and the provincial Community Services department.
966# A precise history would require digging through newspaper archives, and
967# since you didn't say what you wanted, I didn't bother.
968#
969# Saskatchewan is split by a time zone meridian (105W) and over the years
970# the boundary became pretty ragged as communities near it reevaluated
971# their affiliations in one direction or the other.  In 1965 a provincial
972# referendum favoured legislating common time practices.
973#
974# On 15 April 1966 the Time Act (c. T-14, Revised Statutes of
975# Saskatchewan 1978) was proclaimed, and established that the eastern
976# part of Saskatchewan would use CST year round, that districts in
977# northwest Saskatchewan would by default follow CST but could opt to
978# follow Mountain Time rules (thus 1 hour difference in the winter and
979# zero in the summer), and that districts in southwest Saskatchewan would
980# by default follow MT but could opt to follow CST.
981#
982# It took a few years for the dust to settle (I know one story of a town
983# on one time zone having its school in another, such that a mom had to
984# serve her family lunch in two shifts), but presently it seems that only
985# a few towns on the border with Alberta (e.g. Lloydminster) follow MT
986# rules any more; all other districts appear to have used CST year round
987# since sometime in the 1960s.

1233#
1234# Here are the discrepancies between Shanks and the MLoC.
1235# (In all cases we go with the MLoC.)
1236# Shanks reports that Baja was at -8:00 in 1922/1923.
1237# Shanks says the 1930 transition in Baja was 1930-11-16.
1238# Shanks reports no DST during summer 1931.
1239# Shanks reports a transition at 1032-03-30 23:00, not 1932-04-01.
1240# Shanks does not report transitions for Baja in 1945 or 1948.
1241# Shanks reports southern Mexico transitions on 1981-12-01, not 12-23.
1242# Shanks says Quintana Roo switched to -6:00 on 1982-12-02, and to -5:00

1261# I finally got my hands on the Official Presidential Decree that sets up the
1262# rules for the DST changes. The rules are:
1263#
1264# 1. The country is divided in 3 timezones:
1265#    - Baja California Norte (the Mexico/BajaNorte TZ)
1266#    - Baja California Sur, Nayarit, Sinaloa and Sonora (the Mexico/BajaSur TZ)
1267#    - The rest of the country (the Mexico/General TZ)
1268#
1269# 2. From the first Sunday in April at 2:00 AM to the last Sunday in October
1270#    at 2:00 AM, the times in each zone are as follows:
1271#    BajaNorte: GMT+7
1272#    BajaSur:   GMT+6
1273#    General:   GMT+5
1274#
1275# 3. The rest of the year, the times are as follows:
1276#    BajaNorte: GMT+8
1277#    BajaSur:   GMT+7
1278#    General:   GMT+6
1279#

1454# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-05):
1455# Formerly there was an America/Ensenada zone, which differed from
1456# America/Tijuana only in that it did not observe DST from 1976
1457# through 1995.  This was as per Shanks.  However, Guy Harris reports
1458# that the 1987 OAG says "Only Ensenada, Mexicale, San Felipe and
1459# Tijuana observe DST," which contradicts Shanks but does imply that
1460# DST-observance was a town-by-town matter back then.  This concerns
1461# data after 1970 so most likely there should be at least one Zone
1462# other than America/Tijuana for Baja, but it's not clear yet what its
1463# name or contents should be.
