1658787Sru# From Paul Eggert (1999-03-31):
1758787Sru# Howse writes (pp 121-125) that time zones were invented by
1858787Sru# Professor Charles Ferdinand Dowd (1825-1904),
1958787Sru# Principal of Temple Grove Ladies' Seminary (Saratoga Springs, NY).
2058787Sru# His pamphlet ``A System of National Time for Railroads'' (1870)
2158787Sru# was the result of his proposals at the Convention of Railroad Trunk Lines
2258787Sru# in New York City (1869-10).  His 1870 proposal was based on Washington, DC,
2358787Sru# but in 1872-05 he moved the proposed origin to Greenwich.
2458787Sru# His proposal was adopted by the railroads on 1883-11-18 at 12:00,
2558787Sru# and the most of the country soon followed suit.

2714343Swollman# From Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> (1995-12-19):
2814343Swollman# A good source for time zone historical data in the US is
2914343Swollman# Thomas G. Shanks, The American Atlas (5th edition),
3014343Swollman# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (1991).
3114343Swollman# Make sure you have the errata sheet; the book is somewhat useless without it.
3214343Swollman# It is the source for the US and Puerto Rico entries below.
3314343Swollman
3475267Swollman# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-06):
3517200Swollman# Daylight Saving Time was first suggested as a joke by Benjamin Franklin
3675267Swollman# in his whimsical essay ``An Economical Project for Diminishing the Cost
3775267Swollman# of Light'' published in the Journal de Paris (1784-04-26).
3817200Swollman# Not everyone is happy with the results:
3917200Swollman#
4017200Swollman#	I don't really care how time is reckoned so long as there is some
4117200Swollman#	agreement about it, but I object to being told that I am saving
4217200Swollman#	daylight when my reason tells me that I am doing nothing of the kind.
4317200Swollman#	I even object to the implication that I am wasting something
4417200Swollman#	valuable if I stay in bed after the sun has risen.  As an admirer
4517200Swollman#	of moonlight I resent the bossy insistence of those who want to
4617200Swollman#	reduce my time for enjoying it.  At the back of the Daylight Saving
4717200Swollman#	scheme I detect the bony, blue-fingered hand of Puritanism, eager
4817200Swollman#	to push people into bed earlier, and get them up earlier, to make
4917200Swollman#	them healthy, wealthy and wise in spite of themselves.

5375267Swollman# For more about the first ten years of DST in the United States, see
5475267Swollman# Robert Garland's <a href="http://www.clpgh.org/exhibit/dst.html">
5575267Swollman# Ten years of daylight saving from the Pittsburgh standpoint
5675267Swollman# (Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, 1927)</a>.
5775267Swollman#
5875267Swollman# Shanks says that DST was called "War Time" in the US in 1918 and 1919.
5975267Swollman# However, DST was imposed by the Standard Time Act of 1918, which
6075267Swollman# was the first nationwide legal time standard, and apparently
6175267Swollman# time was just called "Standard Time" or "Daylight Saving Time".
6217200Swollman
632742Swollman# From Arthur David Olson:
642742Swollman# US Daylight Saving Time ended on the last Sunday of *October* in 1974.
6519878Swollman# See, for example, the front page of the Saturday, 1974-10-26
6619878Swollman# and Sunday, 1974-10-27 editions of the Washington Post.
672742Swollman
682742Swollman# From Arthur David Olson:
692742Swollman# Before the Uniform Time Act of 1966 took effect in 1967, observance of
702742Swollman# Daylight Saving Time in the US was by local option, except during wartime.
712742Swollman
7267578Swollman# From Arthur David Olson (2000-09-25):
7367578Swollman# Last night I heard part of a rebroadcast of a 1945 Arch Oboler radio drama.
7467578Swollman# In the introduction, Oboler spoke of "Eastern Peace Time."
7567578Swollman# An AltaVista search turned up
7667578Swollman# <a href="http://rowayton.org/rhs/hstaug45.html">:
7767578Swollman# "When the time is announced over the radio now, it is 'Eastern Peace
7867578Swollman# Time' instead of the old familiar 'Eastern War Time.'  Peace is wonderful."
7967578Swollman# </a> (August 1945) by way of confirmation.

8167578Swollman# From Joseph Gallant <notquite@hotmail.com>, citing
8267578Swollman# George H. Douglas, _The Early Days of Radio Broadcasting_ (1987):
8367578Swollman# At 7 P.M. (Eastern War Time) [on 1945-08-14], the networks were set
8486222Swollman# to switch to London for Attlee's address, but the American people
8567578Swollman# never got to hear his speech live. According to one press account,
8667578Swollman# CBS' Bob Trout was first to announce the word of Japan's surrender,
8767578Swollman# but a few seconds later, NBC, ABC and Mutual also flashed the word
8867578Swollman# of surrender, all of whom interrupting the bells of Big Ben in
8986222Swollman# London which were to precede Mr. Attlee's speech.
9067578Swollman
91114173Swollman# From Paul Eggert (2003-02-09): It was Robert St John, not Bob Trout.  From
92114173Swollman# Myrna Oliver's obituary of St John on page B16 of today's Los Angeles Times:
93114173Swollman#
94114173Swollman# ... a war-weary U.S. clung to radios, awaiting word of Japan's surrender.
95114173Swollman# Any announcement from Asia would reach St. John's New York newsroom on a
96114173Swollman# wire service teletype machine, which had prescribed signals for major news.
97114173Swollman# Associated Press, for example, would ring five bells before spewing out
98114173Swollman# typed copy of an important story, and 10 bells for news "of transcendental
99114173Swollman# importance."
100114173Swollman#
101114173Swollman# On Aug. 14, stalling while talking steadily into the NBC networks' open
102114173Swollman# microphone, St. John heard five bells and waited only to hear a sixth bell,
103114173Swollman# before announcing confidently: "Ladies and gentlemen, World War II is over.
104114173Swollman# The Japanese have agreed to our surrender terms."
105114173Swollman#
106114173Swollman# He had scored a 20-second scoop on other broadcasters.

30114343Swollman# Howse writes that Alaska switched from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar,
30219878Swollman# and from east-of-GMT to west-of-GMT days, when the US bought it from Russia.
30375267Swollman# This was on 1867-10-18, a Friday; the previous day was 1867-10-06 Julian,
30475267Swollman# also a Friday.  Include only the time zone part of this transition,
30575267Swollman# ignoring the switch from Julian to Gregorian, since we can't represent
30675267Swollman# the Julian calendar.
30714343Swollman#
30886222Swollman# As far as we know, none of the exact locations mentioned below were
30986222Swollman# permanently inhabited in 1867 by anyone using either calendar.
31086222Swollman# (Yakutat was colonized by the Russians in 1799, but the settlement
31186222Swollman# was destroyed in 1805 by a Yakutat-kon war party.)  However, there
31286222Swollman# were nearby inhabitants in some cases and for our purposes perhaps
31386222Swollman# it's best to simply use the official transition.

55558787Sru# Clinton County has joined Wayne County in asking the DoT to change from
55658787Sru# the Central to the Eastern time zone....  The Wayne County government made
55758787Sru# the same request in December.  And while Russell County officials have not
55858787Sru# taken action, the majority of respondents to a poll conducted there in
55958787Sru# August indicated they would like to change to "fast time" also.

59067578Swollman#
59186222Swollman# From Paul Eggert (2001-07-17):
59286222Swollman# We don't know where the line used to be within Kearny County, KS,

59486222Swollman# See America/Indiana/Knox for the Starke County, IN change.
59586222Swollman# See America/North_Dakota/Center for the Oliver County, ND change.
59686222Swollman# West Wendover, NV officially switched from Pacific to mountain time on
59786222Swollman# 1999-10-31.  See the

60186222Swollman# However, the Federal Register says that West Wendover already operated

60914343Swollman#
61058787Sru# From Paul Eggert (1999-03-31):
61158787Sru# Shanks writes that Michigan started using standard time on 1885-09-18,
61258787Sru# but Howse writes (pp 124-125, referring to Popular Astronomy, 1901-01)
61358787Sru# that Detroit kept
61414343Swollman#
61514343Swollman#	local time until 1900 when the City Council decreed that clocks should
61614343Swollman#	be put back twenty-eight minutes to Central Standard Time.  Half the
61714343Swollman#	city obeyed, half refused.  After considerable debate, the decision
61814343Swollman#	was rescinded and the city reverted to Sun time.  A derisive offer to
61914343Swollman#	erect a sundial in front of the city hall was referred to the
62014343Swollman#	Committee on Sewers.  Then, in 1905, Central time was adopted
62114343Swollman#	by city vote.
62214343Swollman#
62314343Swollman# This story is too entertaining to be false, so go with Howse over Shanks.
62414343Swollman#
62575267Swollman# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-06):
62675267Swollman# Garland (1927) writes ``Cleveland and Detroit advanced their clocks
62775267Swollman# one hour in 1914.''  This change is not in Shanks.  We have no more

90917200Swollman# Thunder Bay skipped DST in 1973.
91017200Swollman# Many smaller locales did not observe peacetime DST until 1974;

914121098Swollman# From Mark Brader (2003-07-26):
915121098Swollman# [According to the Toronto Star] Orillia, Ontario, adopted DST
916121098Swollman# effective Saturday, 1912-06-22, 22:00; the article mentions that
917121098Swollman# Port Arthur (now part of Thunder Bay, Ontario) as well as Moose Jaw
918121098Swollman# have already done so.  In Orillia DST was to run until Saturday,
919121098Swollman# 1912-08-31 (no time mentioned), but it was met with considerable
920121098Swollman# hostility from certain segments of the public, and was revoked after
921121098Swollman# only two weeks -- I copied it as Saturday, 1912-07-07, 22:00, but
922121098Swollman# presumably that should be -07-06.  (1912-06-19, -07-12; also letters
923121098Swollman# earlier in June).
924121098Swollman#

92943014Swollman# says that Atikokan, Ontario currently does not observe DST,
93043014Swollman# but will vote on 11-10 whether to use EST/EDT.
93143014Swollman# He also writes that the

93343014Swollman# Ontario Time Act (1990, Chapter T.9)

93543014Swollman# says that Ontario east of 90W uses EST/EDT, and west of 90W uses CST/CDT.
93643014Swollman# Officially Atikokan is therefore on CST/CDT, and most likely this report
93743014Swollman# concerns a non-official time observed as a matter of local practice.

94367578Swollman# New Osnaburgh observe CST all year, that Big Trout Lake observes
94467578Swollman# CST/CDT, and that Upsala and Shebandowan observe EST/EDT, all in

94667578Swollman# They also write that Quebec east of the -63 meridian is supposed to
94767578Swollman# observe AST, but residents as far east as Natashquan use EST/EDT,
94867578Swollman# and residents east of Natashquan use AST.
94967578Swollman# We probably need Zones for far east Quebec and for Atikokan,

1105121098Swollman# From Mark Brader (2003-07-26):
1106121098Swollman# The first actual adoption of DST in Canada was at the municipal
1107121098Swollman# level.  As the [Toronto] Star put it (1912-06-07), "While people
1108121098Swollman# elsewhere have long been talking of legislation to save daylight,
1109121098Swollman# the city of Moose Jaw [Saskatchewan] has acted on its own hook."
1110121098Swollman# DST in Moose Jaw began on Saturday, 1912-06-01 (no time mentioned:
1111121098Swollman# presumably late evening, as below), and would run until "the end of
1112121098Swollman# the summer".  The discrepancy between municipal time and railroad
1113121098Swollman# time was noted.
1114121098Swollman
1115121098Swollman# From Paul Eggert (2003-07-27):
1116121098Swollman# Willett (1914-03) notes that DST "has been in operation ... in the

112017200Swollman# Shanks writes that since 1970 most of this region has been like Regina.
112117200Swollman# Some western towns (e.g. Swift Current) switched from MST/MDT to CST in 1972.
112217200Swollman# Other western towns (e.g. Lloydminster) are like Edmonton.
112367578Swollman# Matthews and Vincent (1998) write that Denare Beach and Creighton
112467578Swollman# are like Winnipeg, in violation of Saskatchewan law.
112517200Swollman
112619878Swollman# From W. Jones <jones@skdad.usask.ca> (1992-11-06):
112717200Swollman# The. . .below is based on information I got from our law library, the
112817200Swollman# provincial archives, and the provincial Community Services department.
112917200Swollman# A precise history would require digging through newspaper archives, and
113017200Swollman# since you didn't say what you wanted, I didn't bother.
113117200Swollman#
113217200Swollman# Saskatchewan is split by a time zone meridian (105W) and over the years
113317200Swollman# the boundary became pretty ragged as communities near it reevaluated
113417200Swollman# their affiliations in one direction or the other.  In 1965 a provincial
113517200Swollman# referendum favoured legislating common time practices.
113617200Swollman#
113717200Swollman# On 15 April 1966 the Time Act (c. T-14, Revised Statutes of
113817200Swollman# Saskatchewan 1978) was proclaimed, and established that the eastern
113917200Swollman# part of Saskatchewan would use CST year round, that districts in
114017200Swollman# northwest Saskatchewan would by default follow CST but could opt to
114117200Swollman# follow Mountain Time rules (thus 1 hour difference in the winter and
114217200Swollman# zero in the summer), and that districts in southwest Saskatchewan would
114317200Swollman# by default follow MT but could opt to follow CST.
114417200Swollman#
114517200Swollman# It took a few years for the dust to settle (I know one story of a town
114617200Swollman# on one time zone having its school in another, such that a mom had to
114717200Swollman# serve her family lunch in two shifts), but presently it seems that only
114817200Swollman# a few towns on the border with Alberta (e.g. Lloydminster) follow MT
114917200Swollman# rules any more; all other districts appear to have used CST year round
115017200Swollman# since sometime in the 1960s.

128958787Sru# They plan to celebrate New Year's turn-over twice, one hour apart,
129058787Sru# so it appears that the situation will last at least that long.

140375267Swollman# (In all cases we go with the MLoC.)
140475267Swollman# Shanks reports that Baja was at -8:00 in 1922/1923.
140575267Swollman# Shanks says the 1930 transition in Baja was 1930-11-16.
140675267Swollman# Shanks reports no DST during summer 1931.
140775267Swollman# Shanks reports a transition at 1032-03-30 23:00, not 1932-04-01.
140875267Swollman# Shanks does not report transitions for Baja in 1945 or 1948.
140975267Swollman# Shanks reports southern Mexico transitions on 1981-12-01, not 12-23.

163275267Swollman# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-05):
163375267Swollman# Formerly there was an America/Ensenada zone, which differed from
163475267Swollman# America/Tijuana only in that it did not observe DST from 1976
163575267Swollman# through 1995.  This was as per Shanks.  However, Guy Harris reports
163675267Swollman# that the 1987 OAG says "Only Ensenada, Mexicale, San Felipe and
163775267Swollman# Tijuana observe DST," which contradicts Shanks but does imply that
163875267Swollman# DST-observance was a town-by-town matter back then.  This concerns
163975267Swollman# data after 1970 so most likely there should be at least one Zone
164075267Swollman# other than America/Tijuana for Baja, but it's not clear yet what its
164175267Swollman# name or contents should be.

172358787Sru# From Arthur David Olson (1999-03-29):
172458787Sru# The 1999-03-28 exhibition baseball game held in Havana, Cuba, between
172558787Sru# the Cuban National Team and the Baltimore Orioles was carried live on
172658787Sru# the Orioles Radio Network, including affiliate WTOP in Washington, DC.
172758787Sru# During the game, play-by-play announcer Jim Hunter noted that
172858787Sru# "We'll be losing two hours of sleep...Cuba switched to Daylight Saving
172958787Sru# Time today."  (The "two hour" remark referred to losing one hour of
173058787Sru# sleep on 1999-03-28--when the announcers were in Cuba as it switched
173158787Sru# to DST--and one more hour on 1999-04-04--when the announcers will have
173258787Sru# returned to Baltimore, which switches on that date.)

178775267Swollman# From Steffen Thorsen (2000-10-30):
178875267Swollman# Enrique Morales reported to me that the Dominican Republic has changed the
178975267Swollman# time zone to Eastern Standard Time as of Sunday 29 at 2 am....

179275267Swollman# From Paul Eggert (2000-12-04):
179375267Swollman# That URL (2000-10-26, in Spanish) says they planned to use US-style DST.
179475267Swollman
179575267Swollman# From Rives McDow (2000-12-01):
179675267Swollman# Dominican Republic changed its mind and presidential decree on Tuesday,
179775267Swollman# November 28, 2000, with a new decree.  On Sunday, December 3 at 1:00 AM the
179875267Swollman# Dominican Republic will be reverting to 8 hours from the International Date
179975267Swollman# Line, and will not be using DST in the foreseeable future.  The reason they
180075267Swollman# decided to use DST was to be in synch with Puerto Rico, who was also going
180175267Swollman# to implement DST.  When Puerto Rico didn't implement DST, the president
180275267Swollman# decided to revert.
