1676195Sbrian# From Paul Eggert (1999-03-31):
1776195Sbrian# Howse writes (pp 121-125) that time zones were invented by
1876195Sbrian# Professor Charles Ferdinand Dowd (1825-1904),
1976195Sbrian# Principal of Temple Grove Ladies' Seminary (Saratoga Springs, NY).
2076195Sbrian# His pamphlet ``A System of National Time for Railroads'' (1870)
2176195Sbrian# was the result of his proposals at the Convention of Railroad Trunk Lines
2276195Sbrian# in New York City (1869-10).  His 1870 proposal was based on Washington, DC,
2376195Sbrian# but in 1872-05 he moved the proposed origin to Greenwich.
2476195Sbrian# His proposal was adopted by the railroads on 1883-11-18 at 12:00,
2576195Sbrian# and the most of the country soon followed suit.
2676195Sbrian
2776195Sbrian# From Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> (1995-12-19):
2876195Sbrian# A good source for time zone historical data in the US is
2976195Sbrian# Thomas G. Shanks, The American Atlas (5th edition),
3076195Sbrian# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (1991).
3176195Sbrian# Make sure you have the errata sheet; the book is somewhat useless without it.
3276195Sbrian# It is the source for the US and Puerto Rico entries below.
3376195Sbrian
3476195Sbrian# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-06):
3576195Sbrian# Daylight Saving Time was first suggested as a joke by Benjamin Franklin
3676195Sbrian# in his whimsical essay ``An Economical Project for Diminishing the Cost
3776195Sbrian# of Light'' published in the Journal de Paris (1784-04-26).
3876195Sbrian# Not everyone is happy with the results:
3976195Sbrian#
4076195Sbrian#	I don't really care how time is reckoned so long as there is some
4176195Sbrian#	agreement about it, but I object to being told that I am saving
4276195Sbrian#	daylight when my reason tells me that I am doing nothing of the kind.
4376195Sbrian#	I even object to the implication that I am wasting something
4476195Sbrian#	valuable if I stay in bed after the sun has risen.  As an admirer
4576195Sbrian#	of moonlight I resent the bossy insistence of those who want to
4676195Sbrian#	reduce my time for enjoying it.  At the back of the Daylight Saving
4776195Sbrian#	scheme I detect the bony, blue-fingered hand of Puritanism, eager
4876195Sbrian#	to push people into bed earlier, and get them up earlier, to make
4976195Sbrian#	them healthy, wealthy and wise in spite of themselves.
5076195Sbrian#
5176195Sbrian#	-- Robertson Davies, The Diary of Samuel Marchbanks (1947), XIX, Sunday
5276195Sbrian#
5376195Sbrian# For more about the first ten years of DST in the United States, see
5476195Sbrian# Robert Garland's <a href="http://www.clpgh.org/exhibit/dst.html">
5576195Sbrian# Ten years of daylight saving from the Pittsburgh standpoint
5676195Sbrian# (Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, 1927)</a>.
5776195Sbrian#
5876195Sbrian# Shanks says that DST was called "War Time" in the US in 1918 and 1919.
5976195Sbrian# However, DST was imposed by the Standard Time Act of 1918, which
6076195Sbrian# was the first nationwide legal time standard, and apparently
6176195Sbrian# time was just called "Standard Time" or "Daylight Saving Time".
6276195Sbrian
6376195Sbrian# From Arthur David Olson:
6476195Sbrian# US Daylight Saving Time ended on the last Sunday of *October* in 1974.
6576195Sbrian# See, for example, the front page of the Saturday, 1974-10-26
6676195Sbrian# and Sunday, 1974-10-27 editions of the Washington Post.
6776195Sbrian
6876195Sbrian# From Arthur David Olson:
6976195Sbrian# Before the Uniform Time Act of 1966 took effect in 1967, observance of
7076195Sbrian# Daylight Saving Time in the US was by local option, except during wartime.
7176195Sbrian
7276195Sbrian# From Arthur David Olson (2000-09-25):
7376195Sbrian# Last night I heard part of a rebroadcast of a 1945 Arch Oboler radio drama.
7476195Sbrian# In the introduction, Oboler spoke of "Eastern Peace Time."
7576195Sbrian# An AltaVista search turned up
7676195Sbrian# <a href="http://rowayton.org/rhs/hstaug45.html">:
7776195Sbrian# "When the time is announced over the radio now, it is 'Eastern Peace
7876195Sbrian# Time' instead of the old familiar 'Eastern War Time.'  Peace is wonderful."
7976195Sbrian# </a> (August 1945) by way of confirmation.
8076195Sbrian
8176195Sbrian# From Joseph Gallant <notquite@hotmail.com>, citing
8276195Sbrian# George H. Douglas, _The Early Days of Radio Broadcasting_ (1987):
8376195Sbrian# At 7 P.M. (Eastern War Time) [on 1945-08-14], the networks were set
8476195Sbrian# to switch to London for Attlee's address, but the American people
8576195Sbrian# never got to hear his speech live. According to one press account,
8676195Sbrian# CBS' Bob Trout was first to announce the word of Japan's surrender,
8776195Sbrian# but a few seconds later, NBC, ABC and Mutual also flashed the word
8876195Sbrian# of surrender, all of whom interrupting the bells of Big Ben in
8976195Sbrian# London which were to precede Mr. Attlee's speech.
9076195Sbrian
9176195Sbrian# From Paul Eggert (2003-02-09): It was Robert St John, not Bob Trout.  From
9276195Sbrian# Myrna Oliver's obituary of St John on page B16 of today's Los Angeles Times:
9376195Sbrian#
9476195Sbrian# ... a war-weary U.S. clung to radios, awaiting word of Japan's surrender.
9576195Sbrian# Any announcement from Asia would reach St. John's New York newsroom on a
9676195Sbrian# wire service teletype machine, which had prescribed signals for major news.
9776195Sbrian# Associated Press, for example, would ring five bells before spewing out
9876195Sbrian# typed copy of an important story, and 10 bells for news "of transcendental
9976195Sbrian# importance."
10076195Sbrian#
10176195Sbrian# On Aug. 14, stalling while talking steadily into the NBC networks' open
10276195Sbrian# microphone, St. John heard five bells and waited only to hear a sixth bell,
10376195Sbrian# before announcing confidently: "Ladies and gentlemen, World War II is over.
10476195Sbrian# The Japanese have agreed to our surrender terms."
10576195Sbrian#
10676195Sbrian# He had scored a 20-second scoop on other broadcasters.

13276195Sbrian# ...Alaska's timezone lines were redrawn in 1983 to give only 2 tz.
13376195Sbrian#    The YST zone now covers nearly all of the state, AHST just part
13476195Sbrian#    of the Aleutian islands.   No DST.
13576195Sbrian

13776195Sbrian# The tables below use `NST', not `NT', for Nome Standard Time.
13876195Sbrian# I invented `CAWT' for Central Alaska War Time.

30176195Sbrian# Howse writes that Alaska switched from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar,
30276195Sbrian# and from east-of-GMT to west-of-GMT days, when the US bought it from Russia.
30376195Sbrian# This was on 1867-10-18, a Friday; the previous day was 1867-10-06 Julian,
30476195Sbrian# also a Friday.  Include only the time zone part of this transition,
30576195Sbrian# ignoring the switch from Julian to Gregorian, since we can't represent
30676195Sbrian# the Julian calendar.
30776195Sbrian#
30876195Sbrian# As far as we know, none of the exact locations mentioned below were
30976195Sbrian# permanently inhabited in 1867 by anyone using either calendar.
31076195Sbrian# (Yakutat was colonized by the Russians in 1799, but the settlement
31176195Sbrian# was destroyed in 1805 by a Yakutat-kon war party.)  However, there
31276195Sbrian# were nearby inhabitants in some cases and for our purposes perhaps
31376195Sbrian# it's best to simply use the official transition.

44376195Sbrian# and in 1969 and 1970 the whole state observed daylight time;

60976195Sbrian#
61076195Sbrian# From Paul Eggert (1999-03-31):
61176195Sbrian# Shanks writes that Michigan started using standard time on 1885-09-18,
61276195Sbrian# but Howse writes (pp 124-125, referring to Popular Astronomy, 1901-01)
61376195Sbrian# that Detroit kept
61476195Sbrian#
61576195Sbrian#	local time until 1900 when the City Council decreed that clocks should
61676195Sbrian#	be put back twenty-eight minutes to Central Standard Time.  Half the
61776195Sbrian#	city obeyed, half refused.  After considerable debate, the decision
61876195Sbrian#	was rescinded and the city reverted to Sun time.  A derisive offer to
61976195Sbrian#	erect a sundial in front of the city hall was referred to the
62076195Sbrian#	Committee on Sewers.  Then, in 1905, Central time was adopted
62176195Sbrian#	by city vote.
62276195Sbrian#
62376195Sbrian# This story is too entertaining to be false, so go with Howse over Shanks.
62476195Sbrian#
62576195Sbrian# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-06):
62676195Sbrian# Garland (1927) writes ``Cleveland and Detroit advanced their clocks

90476195Sbrian# Ontario, Quebec
90576195Sbrian
90676195Sbrian# From Paul Eggert (1996-06-12):
90776195Sbrian# Shanks writes that since 1970 most of Ontario has been like Toronto,
90876195Sbrian# and most of Quebec has been like Montreal.
90976195Sbrian# Thunder Bay skipped DST in 1973.
91076195Sbrian# Many smaller locales did not observe peacetime DST until 1974;
91176195Sbrian# Nipigon (EST) and Rainy River (CST) are the largest that we know of.
91276195Sbrian# Far west Ontario is like Winnipeg; far east Quebec is like Halifax.
91376195Sbrian
91476195Sbrian# From Mark Brader (2003-07-26):
91576195Sbrian# [According to the Toronto Star] Orillia, Ontario, adopted DST
91676195Sbrian# effective Saturday, 1912-06-22, 22:00; the article mentions that
91776195Sbrian# Port Arthur (now part of Thunder Bay, Ontario) as well as Moose Jaw
91876195Sbrian# have already done so.  In Orillia DST was to run until Saturday,
91976195Sbrian# 1912-08-31 (no time mentioned), but it was met with considerable
92076195Sbrian# hostility from certain segments of the public, and was revoked after
92176195Sbrian# only two weeks -- I copied it as Saturday, 1912-07-07, 22:00, but
92276195Sbrian# presumably that should be -07-06.  (1912-06-19, -07-12; also letters
92376195Sbrian# earlier in June).
92476195Sbrian#
92576195Sbrian# Kenora, Ontario, was to abandon DST on 1914-06-01 (-05-21).
92676195Sbrian
92776195Sbrian# From Paul Eggert (1997-10-17):
92876195Sbrian# Mark Brader writes that an article in the 1997-10-14 Toronto Star
92976195Sbrian# says that Atikokan, Ontario currently does not observe DST,
93076195Sbrian# but will vote on 11-10 whether to use EST/EDT.
93176195Sbrian# He also writes that the
93276195Sbrian# <a href="http://www.gov.on.ca/MBS/english/publications/statregs/conttext.html">
93376195Sbrian# Ontario Time Act (1990, Chapter T.9)
93476195Sbrian# </a>
93576195Sbrian# says that Ontario east of 90W uses EST/EDT, and west of 90W uses CST/CDT.
93676195Sbrian# Officially Atikokan is therefore on CST/CDT, and most likely this report
93776195Sbrian# concerns a non-official time observed as a matter of local practice.
93876195Sbrian# For what it's worth, Shanks says that Atikokan has agreed with
93976195Sbrian# Rainy River ever since standard time was introduced.
94076195Sbrian
94176195Sbrian# From Paul Eggert (2000-10-02):
94276195Sbrian# Matthews and Vincent (1998) write that Atikokan, Pickle Lake, and
94376195Sbrian# New Osnaburgh observe CST all year, that Big Trout Lake observes
94476195Sbrian# CST/CDT, and that Upsala and Shebandowan observe EST/EDT, all in
94576195Sbrian# violation of the official Ontario rules.
94676195Sbrian# They also write that Quebec east of the -63 meridian is supposed to
94776195Sbrian# observe AST, but residents as far east as Natashquan use EST/EDT,
94876195Sbrian# and residents east of Natashquan use AST.
94976195Sbrian# We probably need Zones for far east Quebec and for Atikokan,
95076195Sbrian# but we don't know when their practices started.

110476195Sbrian
110576195Sbrian# From Mark Brader (2003-07-26):
110676195Sbrian# The first actual adoption of DST in Canada was at the municipal
110776195Sbrian# level.  As the [Toronto] Star put it (1912-06-07), "While people
110876195Sbrian# elsewhere have long been talking of legislation to save daylight,
110976195Sbrian# the city of Moose Jaw [Saskatchewan] has acted on its own hook."
111076195Sbrian# DST in Moose Jaw began on Saturday, 1912-06-01 (no time mentioned:
111176195Sbrian# presumably late evening, as below), and would run until "the end of
111276195Sbrian# the summer".  The discrepancy between municipal time and railroad
111376195Sbrian# time was noted.
111476195Sbrian
111576195Sbrian# From Paul Eggert (2003-07-27):
111676195Sbrian# Willett (1914-03) notes that DST "has been in operation ... in the
111776195Sbrian# City of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, for one year."
111876195Sbrian
111976195Sbrian# From Paul Eggert (2000-10-02):
112076195Sbrian# Shanks writes that since 1970 most of this region has been like Regina.
112176195Sbrian# Some western towns (e.g. Swift Current) switched from MST/MDT to CST in 1972.
112276195Sbrian# Other western towns (e.g. Lloydminster) are like Edmonton.
112376195Sbrian# Matthews and Vincent (1998) write that Denare Beach and Creighton
112476195Sbrian# are like Winnipeg, in violation of Saskatchewan law.
112576195Sbrian
112676195Sbrian# From W. Jones <jones@skdad.usask.ca> (1992-11-06):
112776195Sbrian# The. . .below is based on information I got from our law library, the
112876195Sbrian# provincial archives, and the provincial Community Services department.
112976195Sbrian# A precise history would require digging through newspaper archives, and
113076195Sbrian# since you didn't say what you wanted, I didn't bother.
113176195Sbrian#
113276195Sbrian# Saskatchewan is split by a time zone meridian (105W) and over the years
113376195Sbrian# the boundary became pretty ragged as communities near it reevaluated
113476195Sbrian# their affiliations in one direction or the other.  In 1965 a provincial
113576195Sbrian# referendum favoured legislating common time practices.
113676195Sbrian#
113776195Sbrian# On 15 April 1966 the Time Act (c. T-14, Revised Statutes of
113876195Sbrian# Saskatchewan 1978) was proclaimed, and established that the eastern
113976195Sbrian# part of Saskatchewan would use CST year round, that districts in
114076195Sbrian# northwest Saskatchewan would by default follow CST but could opt to
114176195Sbrian# follow Mountain Time rules (thus 1 hour difference in the winter and
114276195Sbrian# zero in the summer), and that districts in southwest Saskatchewan would
114376195Sbrian# by default follow MT but could opt to follow CST.
114476195Sbrian#
114576195Sbrian# It took a few years for the dust to settle (I know one story of a town
114676195Sbrian# on one time zone having its school in another, such that a mom had to
114776195Sbrian# serve her family lunch in two shifts), but presently it seems that only
114876195Sbrian# a few towns on the border with Alberta (e.g. Lloydminster) follow MT
114976195Sbrian# rules any more; all other districts appear to have used CST year round
115076195Sbrian# since sometime in the 1960s.

139576195Sbrian# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-05):
139676195Sbrian# The Investigation and Analysis Service of the
139776195Sbrian# Mexican Library of Congress (MLoC) has published a
139876195Sbrian# <a href="http://www.cddhcu.gob.mx/bibliot/publica/inveyana/polisoc/horver/">

140276195Sbrian# Here are the discrepancies between Shanks and the MLoC.
140376195Sbrian# (In all cases we go with the MLoC.)
140476195Sbrian# Shanks reports that Baja was at -8:00 in 1922/1923.
140576195Sbrian# Shanks says the 1930 transition in Baja was 1930-11-16.
140676195Sbrian# Shanks reports no DST during summer 1931.
140776195Sbrian# Shanks reports a transition at 1032-03-30 23:00, not 1932-04-01.
140876195Sbrian# Shanks does not report transitions for Baja in 1945 or 1948.
140976195Sbrian# Shanks reports southern Mexico transitions on 1981-12-01, not 12-23.
141076195Sbrian# Shanks says Quintana Roo switched to -6:00 on 1982-12-02, and to -5:00
141176195Sbrian# on 1997-10-26 at 02:00.
141276195Sbrian
141376195Sbrian# From Gwillim Law (2001-02-20):
141476195Sbrian# There are some other discrepancies between the Decrees page and the
141576195Sbrian# tz database.  I think they can best be explained by supposing that
141676195Sbrian# the researchers who prepared the Decrees page failed to find some of
141776195Sbrian# the relevant documents.
141876195Sbrian
141976195Sbrian# From Paul Eggert (2000-07-26):
142076195Sbrian# Shanks gives 1942-04-01 instead of 1942-04-24, and omits the 1981

142976195Sbrian# I finally got my hands on the Official Presidential Decree that sets up the
143076195Sbrian# rules for the DST changes. The rules are:
143176195Sbrian#
143276195Sbrian# 1. The country is divided in 3 timezones:
143376195Sbrian#    - Baja California Norte (the Mexico/BajaNorte TZ)
143476195Sbrian#    - Baja California Sur, Nayarit, Sinaloa and Sonora (the Mexico/BajaSur TZ)
143576195Sbrian#    - The rest of the country (the Mexico/General TZ)
143676195Sbrian#
143776195Sbrian# 2. From the first Sunday in April at 2:00 AM to the last Sunday in October
143876195Sbrian#    at 2:00 AM, the times in each zone are as follows:
143976195Sbrian#    BajaNorte: GMT+7
144076195Sbrian#    BajaSur:   GMT+6
144176195Sbrian#    General:   GMT+5
144276195Sbrian#
144376195Sbrian# 3. The rest of the year, the times are as follows:
144476195Sbrian#    BajaNorte: GMT+8
144576195Sbrian#    BajaSur:   GMT+7
144676195Sbrian#    General:   GMT+6
144776195Sbrian#

152576195Sbrian# Mexico's Supreme Court on Tuesday declared that daylight savings was

152976195Sbrian# a.m. (0800 GMT) on Sept. 30, when Mexico is scheduled to revert to
153076195Sbrian# standard time. "This is so residents of the Federal District are not

163276195Sbrian# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-05):
163376195Sbrian# Formerly there was an America/Ensenada zone, which differed from
163476195Sbrian# America/Tijuana only in that it did not observe DST from 1976
163576195Sbrian# through 1995.  This was as per Shanks.  However, Guy Harris reports
163676195Sbrian# that the 1987 OAG says "Only Ensenada, Mexicale, San Felipe and
163776195Sbrian# Tijuana observe DST," which contradicts Shanks but does imply that
163876195Sbrian# DST-observance was a town-by-town matter back then.  This concerns
163976195Sbrian# data after 1970 so most likely there should be at least one Zone
164076195Sbrian# other than America/Tijuana for Baja, but it's not clear yet what its
164176195Sbrian# name or contents should be.

1727# During the game, play-by-play announcer Jim Hunter noted that

1731# to DST--and one more hour on 1999-04-04--when the announcers will have
