18# From Paul Eggert (1999-03-31):
19# Howse writes (pp 121-125) that time zones were invented by
20# Professor Charles Ferdinand Dowd (1825-1904),
21# Principal of Temple Grove Ladies' Seminary (Saratoga Springs, NY).
22# His pamphlet ``A System of National Time for Railroads'' (1870)
23# was the result of his proposals at the Convention of Railroad Trunk Lines
24# in New York City (1869-10).  His 1870 proposal was based on Washington, DC,
25# but in 1872-05 he moved the proposed origin to Greenwich.
26# His proposal was adopted by the railroads on 1883-11-18 at 12:00,
27# and the most of the country soon followed suit.
28
29# From Paul Eggert (2005-04-16):
30# That 1883 transition occurred at 12:00 new time, not at 12:00 old time.
31# See p 46 of David Prerau, Seize the daylight, Thunder's Mouth Press (2005).
32
33# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
34# A good source for time zone historical data in the US is
35# Thomas G. Shanks, The American Atlas (5th edition),
36# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (1991).
37# Make sure you have the errata sheet; the book is somewhat useless without it.
38# It is the source for most of the pre-1991 US entries below.
39
40# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-06):
41# Daylight Saving Time was first suggested as a joke by Benjamin Franklin
42# in his whimsical essay ``An Economical Project for Diminishing the Cost
43# of Light'' published in the Journal de Paris (1784-04-26).
44# Not everyone is happy with the results:
45#
46#	I don't really care how time is reckoned so long as there is some
47#	agreement about it, but I object to being told that I am saving
48#	daylight when my reason tells me that I am doing nothing of the kind.
49#	I even object to the implication that I am wasting something
50#	valuable if I stay in bed after the sun has risen.  As an admirer
51#	of moonlight I resent the bossy insistence of those who want to
52#	reduce my time for enjoying it.  At the back of the Daylight Saving
53#	scheme I detect the bony, blue-fingered hand of Puritanism, eager
54#	to push people into bed earlier, and get them up earlier, to make
55#	them healthy, wealthy and wise in spite of themselves.
56#
57#	-- Robertson Davies, The diary of Samuel Marchbanks,
58#	   Clarke, Irwin (1947), XIX, Sunday

60# For more about the first ten years of DST in the United States, see
61# Robert Garland's <a href="http://www.clpgh.org/exhibit/dst.html">
62# Ten years of daylight saving from the Pittsburgh standpoint
63# (Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, 1927)</a>.
64#
65# Shanks says that DST was called "War Time" in the US in 1918 and 1919.
66# However, DST was imposed by the Standard Time Act of 1918, which
67# was the first nationwide legal time standard, and apparently
68# time was just called "Standard Time" or "Daylight Saving Time".
69
70# From Arthur David Olson:
71# US Daylight Saving Time ended on the last Sunday of *October* in 1974.
72# See, for example, the front page of the Saturday, 1974-10-26
73# and Sunday, 1974-10-27 editions of the Washington Post.
74
75# From Arthur David Olson:
76# Before the Uniform Time Act of 1966 took effect in 1967, observance of
77# Daylight Saving Time in the US was by local option, except during wartime.
78
79# From Arthur David Olson (2000-09-25):
80# Last night I heard part of a rebroadcast of a 1945 Arch Oboler radio drama.
81# In the introduction, Oboler spoke of "Eastern Peace Time."
82# An AltaVista search turned up
83# <a href="http://rowayton.org/rhs/hstaug45.html">:
84# "When the time is announced over the radio now, it is 'Eastern Peace
85# Time' instead of the old familiar 'Eastern War Time.'  Peace is wonderful."
86# </a> (August 1945) by way of confirmation.
87
88# From Joseph Gallant citing
89# George H. Douglas, _The Early Days of Radio Broadcasting_ (1987):
90# At 7 P.M. (Eastern War Time) [on 1945-08-14], the networks were set
91# to switch to London for Attlee's address, but the American people
92# never got to hear his speech live. According to one press account,
93# CBS' Bob Trout was first to announce the word of Japan's surrender,
94# but a few seconds later, NBC, ABC and Mutual also flashed the word
95# of surrender, all of whom interrupting the bells of Big Ben in
96# London which were to precede Mr. Attlee's speech.
97
98# From Paul Eggert (2003-02-09): It was Robert St John, not Bob Trout.  From
99# Myrna Oliver's obituary of St John on page B16 of today's Los Angeles Times:
100#
101# ... a war-weary U.S. clung to radios, awaiting word of Japan's surrender.
102# Any announcement from Asia would reach St. John's New York newsroom on a
103# wire service teletype machine, which had prescribed signals for major news.
104# Associated Press, for example, would ring five bells before spewing out
105# typed copy of an important story, and 10 bells for news "of transcendental
106# importance."
107#
108# On Aug. 14, stalling while talking steadily into the NBC networks' open
109# microphone, St. John heard five bells and waited only to hear a sixth bell,
110# before announcing confidently: "Ladies and gentlemen, World War II is over.
111# The Japanese have agreed to our surrender terms."
112#
113# He had scored a 20-second scoop on other broadcasters.
114
115# From Arthur David Olson (2005-08-22):
116# Paul has been careful to use the "US" rules only in those locations
117# that are part of the United States; this reflects the real scope of
118# U.S. government action.  So even though the "US" rules have changed
119# in the latest release, other countries won't be affected.

137# We generate the files specified below to guard against old files with
138# obsolete information being left in the time zone binary directory.
139# We limit the list to names that have appeared in previous versions of
140# this time zone package.
141# We do these as separate Zones rather than as Links to avoid problems if
142# a particular place changes whether it observes DST.
143# We put these specifications here in the northamerica file both to
144# increase the chances that they'll actually get compiled and to
145# avoid the need to duplicate the US rules in another file.

156# From Bob Devine (1988-01-28):
157# ...Alaska (and Hawaii) had the timezone names changed in 1967.

159#    Pacific Standard Time(PST)  -same-
160#    Yukon Standard Time(YST)    -same-
161#    Central Alaska S.T. (CAT)   Alaska-Hawaii St[an]dard Time (AHST)
162#    Nome Standard Time (NT)     Bering Standard Time (BST)
163#
164# ...Alaska's timezone lines were redrawn in 1983 to give only 2 tz.
165#    The YST zone now covers nearly all of the state, AHST just part
166#    of the Aleutian islands.   No DST.
167
168# From Paul Eggert (1995-12-19):
169# The tables below use `NST', not `NT', for Nome Standard Time.
170# I invented `CAWT' for Central Alaska War Time.

193
194# From Arthur David Olson (1988-02-13):
195# Legal standard time zone names, from United States Code (1982 Edition and

227#
228# From Paul Eggert (2000-01-08), following a heads-up from Rives McDow:
229# Public law 106-564 (2000-12-23) introduced the abbreviation
230# "Chamorro Standard Time" for time in Guam and the Northern Marianas.

262# From Dave Cantor (2004-11-02):
263# Early this summer I had the occasion to visit the Mount Washington
264# Observatory weather station atop (of course!) Mount Washington [, NH]....
265# One of the staff members said that the station was on Eastern Standard Time
266# and didn't change their clocks for Daylight Saving ... so that their
267# reports will always have times which are 5 hours behind UTC.
268
269# From Paul Eggert (2005-08-26):
270# According to today's Huntsville Times
271# <http://www.al.com/news/huntsvilletimes/index.ssf?/base/news/1125047783228320.xml&coll=1>
272# a few towns on Alabama's "eastern border with Georgia, such as Phenix City
273# in Russell County, Lanett in Chambers County and some towns in Lee County,
274# set their watches and clocks on Eastern time."  It quotes H.H. "Bubba"
275# Roberts, city administrator in Phenix City. as saying "We are in the Central
276# time zone, but we do go by the Eastern time zone because so many people work
277# in Columbus."

384#
385# From Paul Eggert (2001-05-30):
386# Howse writes that Alaska switched from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar,
387# and from east-of-GMT to west-of-GMT days, when the US bought it from Russia.
388# This was on 1867-10-18, a Friday; the previous day was 1867-10-06 Julian,
389# also a Friday.  Include only the time zone part of this transition,
390# ignoring the switch from Julian to Gregorian, since we can't represent
391# the Julian calendar.
392#
393# As far as we know, none of the exact locations mentioned below were
394# permanently inhabited in 1867 by anyone using either calendar.
395# (Yakutat was colonized by the Russians in 1799, but the settlement
396# was destroyed in 1805 by a Yakutat-kon war party.)  However, there
397# were nearby inhabitants in some cases and for our purposes perhaps
398# it's best to simply use the official transition.

454# possibly until 1983:
455#
456#  Minutes of the Unalaska City Council Meeting, January 10, 1967:
457#  "Except for St. Paul and Akutan, Unalaska is the only important
458#  location not on Alaska Standard Time.  The following resolution was

486# From Paul Eggert (2002-10-20):
487#
488# The information in the rest of this paragraph is derived from the

490# Daylight Saving Time web page (2002-01-23)</a> maintained by the
491# Arizona State Library, Archives and Public Records.
492# Between 1944-01-01 and 1944-04-01 the State of Arizona used standard
493# time, but by federal law railroads, airlines, bus lines, military
494# personnel, and some engaged in interstate commerce continued to
495# observe war (i.e., daylight saving) time.  The 1944-03-17 Phoenix
496# Gazette says that was the date the law changed, and that 04-01 was
497# the date the state's clocks would change.  In 1945 the State of
498# Arizona used standard time all year, again with exceptions only as
499# mandated by federal law.  Arizona observed DST in 1967, but Arizona
500# Laws 1968, ch. 183 (effective 1968-03-21) repealed DST.

542# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
543# Since 1970, most of Indiana has been like America/Indiana/Indianapolis,
544# with the following exceptions:
545#
546# - Gibson, Jasper, Lake, LaPorte, Newton, Porter, Posey, Spencer,
547#   Vandenburgh, and Warrick counties have been like America/Chicago.
548#
549# - Dearborn and Ohio counties have been like America/New_York.
550#
551# - Clark, Floyd, and Harrison counties have been like
552#   America/Kentucky/Louisville.
553#
554# - Daviess, Dubois, Knox, Martin, Perry, and Pulaski counties
555#   have been like America/Indiana/Vincennes.
556#
557# - Crawford, Pike, Starke, and Switzerland counties have their own time zone
558#   histories as noted below.
559#
560# Shanks partitioned Indiana into 345 regions, each with its own time history,
561# and wrote ``Even newspaper reports present contradictory information.''
562# Those Hoosiers!  Such a flighty and changeable people!
563# Fortunately, most of the complexity occurred before our cutoff date of 1970.
564#
565# Other than Indianapolis, the Indiana place names are so nondescript
566# that they would be ambiguous if we left them at the `America' level.
567# So we reluctantly put them all in a subdirectory `America/Indiana'.

754# See America/Indiana/Knox for the Starke County, IN change.
755# See America/North_Dakota/Center for the Oliver County, ND change.
756# West Wendover, NV officially switched from Pacific to mountain time on

765# Michigan
766#
767# From Bob Devine (1988-01-28):
768# Michigan didn't observe DST from 1968 to 1973.
769#
770# From Paul Eggert (1999-03-31):
771# Shanks writes that Michigan started using standard time on 1885-09-18,
772# but Howse writes (pp 124-125, referring to Popular Astronomy, 1901-01)
773# that Detroit kept
774#
775#	local time until 1900 when the City Council decreed that clocks should
776#	be put back twenty-eight minutes to Central Standard Time.  Half the
777#	city obeyed, half refused.  After considerable debate, the decision
778#	was rescinded and the city reverted to Sun time.  A derisive offer to
779#	erect a sundial in front of the city hall was referred to the
780#	Committee on Sewers.  Then, in 1905, Central time was adopted
781#	by city vote.
782#
783# This story is too entertaining to be false, so go with Howse over Shanks.
784#
785# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-06):
786# Garland (1927) writes ``Cleveland and Detroit advanced their clocks
787# one hour in 1914.''  This change is not in Shanks.  We have no more
788# info, so omit this for now.
789#
790# Most of Michigan observed DST from 1973 on, but was a bit late in 1975.

1084# <http://www.gnb.ca/0062/PDF-acts/t-06.pdf> says they change at 00:01, and
1085# <http://www.canlii.org/nb/laws/sta/t-6/20030127/whole.html> makes it

1089# that they will bring forward proposed amendments to harmonize with the US;

1118# Ontario, Quebec
1119
1120# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
1121# Shanks & Pottenger writes that since 1970 most of Ontario has been like
1122# Toronto, and most of Quebec has been like Montreal.
1123# Thunder Bay skipped DST in 1973.
1124# Many smaller locales did not observe peacetime DST until 1974;
1125# Nipigon (EST) and Rainy River (CST) are the largest that we know of.
1126# Far west Ontario is like Winnipeg; far east Quebec is like Halifax.
1127
1128# From Mark Brader (2003-07-26):
1129# [According to the Toronto Star] Orillia, Ontario, adopted DST
1130# effective Saturday, 1912-06-22, 22:00; the article mentions that
1131# Port Arthur (now part of Thunder Bay, Ontario) as well as Moose Jaw
1132# have already done so.  In Orillia DST was to run until Saturday,
1133# 1912-08-31 (no time mentioned), but it was met with considerable
1134# hostility from certain segments of the public, and was revoked after
1135# only two weeks -- I copied it as Saturday, 1912-07-07, 22:00, but
1136# presumably that should be -07-06.  (1912-06-19, -07-12; also letters
1137# earlier in June).
1138#
1139# Kenora, Ontario, was to abandon DST on 1914-06-01 (-05-21).
1140
1141# From Paul Eggert (1997-10-17):
1142# Mark Brader writes that an article in the 1997-10-14 Toronto Star
1143# says that Atikokan, Ontario currently does not observe DST,
1144# but will vote on 11-10 whether to use EST/EDT.
1145# He also writes that the
1146# <a href="http://www.gov.on.ca/MBS/english/publications/statregs/conttext.html">
1147# Ontario Time Act (1990, Chapter T.9)
1148# </a>
1149# says that Ontario east of 90W uses EST/EDT, and west of 90W uses CST/CDT.
1150# Officially Atikokan is therefore on CST/CDT, and most likely this report
1151# concerns a non-official time observed as a matter of local practice.
1152#
1153# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
1154# For what it's worth, Shanks & Pottenger say that Atikokan has agreed with
1155# Rainy River ever since standard time was introduced.
1156
1157# From Paul Eggert (2000-10-02):
1158# Matthews and Vincent (1998) write that Atikokan, Pickle Lake, and
1159# New Osnaburgh observe CST all year, that Big Trout Lake observes
1160# CST/CDT, and that Upsala and Shebandowan observe EST/EDT, all in
1161# violation of the official Ontario rules.
1162# They also write that Quebec east of the -63 meridian is supposed to
1163# observe AST, but residents as far east as Natashquan use EST/EDT,
1164# and residents east of Natashquan use AST.
1165# We probably need Zones for far east Quebec and for Atikokan,
1166# but we don't know when their practices started.

1342# Saskatchewan
1343
1344# From Mark Brader (2003-07-26):
1345# The first actual adoption of DST in Canada was at the municipal
1346# level.  As the [Toronto] Star put it (1912-06-07), "While people
1347# elsewhere have long been talking of legislation to save daylight,
1348# the city of Moose Jaw [Saskatchewan] has acted on its own hook."
1349# DST in Moose Jaw began on Saturday, 1912-06-01 (no time mentioned:
1350# presumably late evening, as below), and would run until "the end of
1351# the summer".  The discrepancy between municipal time and railroad
1352# time was noted.
1353
1354# From Paul Eggert (2003-07-27):
1355# Willett (1914-03) notes that DST "has been in operation ... in the
1356# City of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, for one year."
1357
1358# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
1359# Shanks & Pottenger say that since 1970 this region has mostly been as Regina.
1360# Some western towns (e.g. Swift Current) switched from MST/MDT to CST in 1972.
1361# Other western towns (e.g. Lloydminster) are like Edmonton.

1363# are like Winnipeg, in violation of Saskatchewan law.
1364
1365# From W. Jones (1992-11-06):
1366# The. . .below is based on information I got from our law library, the
1367# provincial archives, and the provincial Community Services department.
1368# A precise history would require digging through newspaper archives, and
1369# since you didn't say what you wanted, I didn't bother.
1370#
1371# Saskatchewan is split by a time zone meridian (105W) and over the years
1372# the boundary became pretty ragged as communities near it reevaluated
1373# their affiliations in one direction or the other.  In 1965 a provincial
1374# referendum favoured legislating common time practices.
1375#
1376# On 15 April 1966 the Time Act (c. T-14, Revised Statutes of
1377# Saskatchewan 1978) was proclaimed, and established that the eastern
1378# part of Saskatchewan would use CST year round, that districts in
1379# northwest Saskatchewan would by default follow CST but could opt to
1380# follow Mountain Time rules (thus 1 hour difference in the winter and
1381# zero in the summer), and that districts in southwest Saskatchewan would
1382# by default follow MT but could opt to follow CST.
1383#
1384# It took a few years for the dust to settle (I know one story of a town
1385# on one time zone having its school in another, such that a mom had to
1386# serve her family lunch in two shifts), but presently it seems that only
1387# a few towns on the border with Alberta (e.g. Lloydminster) follow MT
1388# rules any more; all other districts appear to have used CST year round
1389# since sometime in the 1960s.

1557# </a> (2000-11-10):
1558# The Nunavut government would allow its employees in Kugluktuk and
1559# Cambridge Bay to operate on central time year-round, putting them
1560# one hour behind the rest of Nunavut for six months during the winter.
1561# At the end of October the two communities had rebelled against

1669# Here are the discrepancies between Shanks & Pottenger (S&P) and the MLoC.
1670# (In all cases we go with the MLoC.)
1671# S&P report that Baja was at -8:00 in 1922/1923.
1672# S&P say the 1930 transition in Baja was 1930-11-16.
1673# S&P report no DST during summer 1931.
1674# S&P report a transition at 1932-03-30 23:00, not 1932-04-01.
1675
1676# From Gwillim Law (2001-02-20):
1677# There are some other discrepancies between the Decrees page and the

1688# I finally got my hands on the Official Presidential Decree that sets up the

1892# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
1893# Formerly there was an America/Ensenada zone, which differed from
1894# America/Tijuana only in that it did not observe DST from 1976
1895# through 1995.  This was as per Shanks (1999).  But Shanks & Pottenger say
1896# Ensenada did not observe DST from 1948 through 1975.  Guy Harris reports
1897# that the 1987 OAG says "Only Ensenada, Mexicale, San Felipe and
1898# Tijuana observe DST," which agrees with Shanks & Pottenger but implies that
1899# DST-observance was a town-by-town matter back then.  This concerns
1900# data after 1970 so most likely there should be at least one Zone
1901# other than America/Tijuana for Baja, but it's not clear yet what its
1902# name or contents should be.

2140# From Gwillim Law (2005-04-15):

2144# on the Web page of the Haitian Consulate in Chicago (2005-03-31),
2145# </a>.  Translated from French, it says:
2146#
2147#  "The Prime Minister's Communication Office notifies the public in general
2148#   and the press in particular that, following a decision of the Interior
2149#   Ministry and the Territorial Collectivities [I suppose that means the
2150#   provinces], Haiti will move to Eastern Daylight Time in the night from next
2151#   Saturday the 2nd to Sunday the 3rd.
2152#
2153#  "Consequently, the Prime Minister's Communication Office wishes to inform
2154#   the population that the country's clocks will be set forward one hour
2155#   starting at midnight.  This provision will hold until the last Saturday in
2156#   October 2005.
2157#
2158#  "Port-au-Prince, March 31, 2005"
2159#
2160# From Steffen Thorsen (2006-04-04):
2161# I have been informed by users that Haiti observes DST this year like
2162# last year, so the current "only" rule for 2005 might be changed to a
2163# "max" rule or to last until 2006. (Who knows if they will observe DST
2164# next year or if they will extend their DST like US/Canada next year).
