2058787Sru# From Paul Eggert (1999-03-31):
2158787Sru# Howse writes (pp 121-125) that time zones were invented by
2258787Sru# Professor Charles Ferdinand Dowd (1825-1904),
2358787Sru# Principal of Temple Grove Ladies' Seminary (Saratoga Springs, NY).
2458787Sru# His pamphlet ``A System of National Time for Railroads'' (1870)
2558787Sru# was the result of his proposals at the Convention of Railroad Trunk Lines
2658787Sru# in New York City (1869-10).  His 1870 proposal was based on Washington, DC,
2758787Sru# but in 1872-05 he moved the proposed origin to Greenwich.
2858787Sru# His proposal was adopted by the railroads on 1883-11-18 at 12:00,
2958787Sru# and the most of the country soon followed suit.

35158421Swollman# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
3614343Swollman# A good source for time zone historical data in the US is
3714343Swollman# Thomas G. Shanks, The American Atlas (5th edition),
3814343Swollman# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (1991).
3914343Swollman# Make sure you have the errata sheet; the book is somewhat useless without it.
40158421Swollman# It is the source for most of the pre-1991 US entries below.
4114343Swollman
4275267Swollman# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-06):
4317200Swollman# Daylight Saving Time was first suggested as a joke by Benjamin Franklin
4475267Swollman# in his whimsical essay ``An Economical Project for Diminishing the Cost
4575267Swollman# of Light'' published in the Journal de Paris (1784-04-26).
4617200Swollman# Not everyone is happy with the results:
4717200Swollman#
4817200Swollman#	I don't really care how time is reckoned so long as there is some
4917200Swollman#	agreement about it, but I object to being told that I am saving
5017200Swollman#	daylight when my reason tells me that I am doing nothing of the kind.
5117200Swollman#	I even object to the implication that I am wasting something
5217200Swollman#	valuable if I stay in bed after the sun has risen.  As an admirer
5317200Swollman#	of moonlight I resent the bossy insistence of those who want to
5417200Swollman#	reduce my time for enjoying it.  At the back of the Daylight Saving
5517200Swollman#	scheme I detect the bony, blue-fingered hand of Puritanism, eager
5617200Swollman#	to push people into bed earlier, and get them up earlier, to make
5717200Swollman#	them healthy, wealthy and wise in spite of themselves.

6475267Swollman# Ten years of daylight saving from the Pittsburgh standpoint
6575267Swollman# (Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, 1927)</a>.
6675267Swollman#
6775267Swollman# Shanks says that DST was called "War Time" in the US in 1918 and 1919.
6875267Swollman# However, DST was imposed by the Standard Time Act of 1918, which
6975267Swollman# was the first nationwide legal time standard, and apparently
7075267Swollman# time was just called "Standard Time" or "Daylight Saving Time".
7117200Swollman
722742Swollman# From Arthur David Olson:
732742Swollman# US Daylight Saving Time ended on the last Sunday of *October* in 1974.
7419878Swollman# See, for example, the front page of the Saturday, 1974-10-26
7519878Swollman# and Sunday, 1974-10-27 editions of the Washington Post.
762742Swollman
772742Swollman# From Arthur David Olson:
782742Swollman# Before the Uniform Time Act of 1966 took effect in 1967, observance of
792742Swollman# Daylight Saving Time in the US was by local option, except during wartime.
802742Swollman
8167578Swollman# From Arthur David Olson (2000-09-25):
8267578Swollman# Last night I heard part of a rebroadcast of a 1945 Arch Oboler radio drama.
8367578Swollman# In the introduction, Oboler spoke of "Eastern Peace Time."
8467578Swollman# An AltaVista search turned up
8567578Swollman# <a href="http://rowayton.org/rhs/hstaug45.html">:
8667578Swollman# "When the time is announced over the radio now, it is 'Eastern Peace
8767578Swollman# Time' instead of the old familiar 'Eastern War Time.'  Peace is wonderful."
8867578Swollman# </a> (August 1945) by way of confirmation.
8967578Swollman
90149514Swollman# From Joseph Gallant citing
9167578Swollman# George H. Douglas, _The Early Days of Radio Broadcasting_ (1987):
9267578Swollman# At 7 P.M. (Eastern War Time) [on 1945-08-14], the networks were set
9386222Swollman# to switch to London for Attlee's address, but the American people
9467578Swollman# never got to hear his speech live. According to one press account,
9567578Swollman# CBS' Bob Trout was first to announce the word of Japan's surrender,
9667578Swollman# but a few seconds later, NBC, ABC and Mutual also flashed the word
9767578Swollman# of surrender, all of whom interrupting the bells of Big Ben in
9886222Swollman# London which were to precede Mr. Attlee's speech.
9967578Swollman
100114173Swollman# From Paul Eggert (2003-02-09): It was Robert St John, not Bob Trout.  From
101114173Swollman# Myrna Oliver's obituary of St John on page B16 of today's Los Angeles Times:
102114173Swollman#
103114173Swollman# ... a war-weary U.S. clung to radios, awaiting word of Japan's surrender.
104114173Swollman# Any announcement from Asia would reach St. John's New York newsroom on a
105114173Swollman# wire service teletype machine, which had prescribed signals for major news.
106114173Swollman# Associated Press, for example, would ring five bells before spewing out
107114173Swollman# typed copy of an important story, and 10 bells for news "of transcendental
108114173Swollman# importance."
109114173Swollman#
110114173Swollman# On Aug. 14, stalling while talking steadily into the NBC networks' open
111114173Swollman# microphone, St. John heard five bells and waited only to hear a sixth bell,
112114173Swollman# before announcing confidently: "Ladies and gentlemen, World War II is over.
113114173Swollman# The Japanese have agreed to our surrender terms."
114114173Swollman#
115114173Swollman# He had scored a 20-second scoop on other broadcasters.
116114173Swollman
117149590Swollman# From Arthur David Olson (2005-08-22):
118149590Swollman# Paul has been careful to use the "US" rules only in those locations
119149590Swollman# that are part of the United States; this reflects the real scope of
120149590Swollman# U.S. government action.  So even though the "US" rules have changed
121149590Swollman# in the latest release, other countries won't be affected.

40386222Swollman# (Yakutat was colonized by the Russians in 1799, but the settlement
40486222Swollman# was destroyed in 1805 by a Yakutat-kon war party.)  However, there
40586222Swollman# were nearby inhabitants in some cases and for our purposes perhaps
40686222Swollman# it's best to simply use the official transition.

551171948Sedwin# From Paul Eggert (2007-08-17):
552149590Swollman# Since 1970, most of Indiana has been like America/Indiana/Indianapolis,
553149590Swollman# with the following exceptions:
554149590Swollman#
555149590Swollman# - Gibson, Jasper, Lake, LaPorte, Newton, Porter, Posey, Spencer,
556149590Swollman#   Vandenburgh, and Warrick counties have been like America/Chicago.
557149590Swollman#
558149590Swollman# - Dearborn and Ohio counties have been like America/New_York.
559149590Swollman#
560149590Swollman# - Clark, Floyd, and Harrison counties have been like
561149590Swollman#   America/Kentucky/Louisville.
562149590Swollman#
563171948Sedwin# - Crawford, Daviess, Dubois, Knox, Martin, Perry, Pike, Pulaski, Starke,
564171948Sedwin#   and Switzerland counties have their own time zone histories as noted below.
565158421Swollman#
566158421Swollman# Shanks partitioned Indiana into 345 regions, each with its own time history,
567158421Swollman# and wrote ``Even newspaper reports present contradictory information.''
568158421Swollman# Those Hoosiers!  Such a flighty and changeable people!
56914343Swollman# Fortunately, most of the complexity occurred before our cutoff date of 1970.
57014343Swollman#
57114343Swollman# Other than Indianapolis, the Indiana place names are so nondescript
57214343Swollman# that they would be ambiguous if we left them at the `America' level.
57314343Swollman# So we reluctantly put them all in a subdirectory `America/Indiana'.

582158421Swollman# From Paul Eggert (2006-01-20):
583158421Swollman# It says "DOT is relocating the time zone boundary in Indiana to move Starke,
584158421Swollman# Pulaski, Knox, Daviess, Martin, Pike, Dubois, and Perry Counties from the
585158421Swollman# Eastern Time Zone to the Central Time Zone.... The effective date of
586158421Swollman# this rule is 2:OO a.m. EST Sunday, April 2, 2006, which is the
587158421Swollman# changeover date from standard time to Daylight Saving Time."
588158421Swollman# Strictly speaking, this means the affected counties will change their
589158421Swollman# clocks twice that night, but this obviously is in error.  The intent
590158421Swollman# is that 01:59:59 EST be followed by 02:00:00 CDT.

80067578Swollman# Wayne County, KY (from CST to EST) ... 2000-10
80167578Swollman#
80286222Swollman# From Paul Eggert (2001-07-17):
80386222Swollman# We don't know where the line used to be within Kearny County, KS,
80486222Swollman# so omit that change for now.
80586222Swollman# See America/Indiana/Knox for the Starke County, IN change.
80686222Swollman# See America/North_Dakota/Center for the Oliver County, ND change.
80786222Swollman# West Wendover, NV officially switched from Pacific to mountain time on
80886222Swollman# 1999-10-31.  See the
80986222Swollman# <a href="http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=1999_register&docid=fr21oc99-15">

81186222Swollman# </a>
81286222Swollman# However, the Federal Register says that West Wendover already operated
81386222Swollman# on mountain time, and the rule merely made this official;
81486222Swollman# hence a separate tz entry is not needed.

81714343Swollman#
81819878Swollman# From Bob Devine (1988-01-28):
81914343Swollman# Michigan didn't observe DST from 1968 to 1973.
82014343Swollman#
82158787Sru# From Paul Eggert (1999-03-31):
82258787Sru# Shanks writes that Michigan started using standard time on 1885-09-18,
82358787Sru# but Howse writes (pp 124-125, referring to Popular Astronomy, 1901-01)
82458787Sru# that Detroit kept
82514343Swollman#
82614343Swollman#	local time until 1900 when the City Council decreed that clocks should
82714343Swollman#	be put back twenty-eight minutes to Central Standard Time.  Half the
82814343Swollman#	city obeyed, half refused.  After considerable debate, the decision
82914343Swollman#	was rescinded and the city reverted to Sun time.  A derisive offer to
83014343Swollman#	erect a sundial in front of the city hall was referred to the
83114343Swollman#	Committee on Sewers.  Then, in 1905, Central time was adopted
83214343Swollman#	by city vote.
83314343Swollman#
83414343Swollman# This story is too entertaining to be false, so go with Howse over Shanks.
83514343Swollman#
83675267Swollman# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-06):
83775267Swollman# Garland (1927) writes ``Cleveland and Detroit advanced their clocks
83875267Swollman# one hour in 1914.''  This change is not in Shanks.  We have no more
83975267Swollman# info, so omit this for now.
84075267Swollman#
84114343Swollman# Most of Michigan observed DST from 1973 on, but was a bit late in 1975.

1278121098Swollman# Mark Brader writes that an article in the 1997-10-14 Toronto Star
127943014Swollman# says that Atikokan, Ontario currently does not observe DST,
128043014Swollman# but will vote on 11-10 whether to use EST/EDT.
128143014Swollman# He also writes that the

128343014Swollman# Ontario Time Act (1990, Chapter T.9)
128443014Swollman# </a>
128543014Swollman# says that Ontario east of 90W uses EST/EDT, and west of 90W uses CST/CDT.
128643014Swollman# Officially Atikokan is therefore on CST/CDT, and most likely this report
128743014Swollman# concerns a non-official time observed as a matter of local practice.

1296163302Sru# Chris Walton (2006-07-06) mentioned an article by Stephanie MacLellan in the
1297163302Sru# 2005-07-21 Chronicle-Journal, which said:
1298163302Sru#
1299163302Sru#	The clocks in Atikokan stay set on standard time year-round.
1300163302Sru#	This means they spend about half the time on central time and
1301163302Sru#	the other half on eastern time.
1302163302Sru#
1303163302Sru#	For the most part, the system works, Mayor Dennis Brown said.
1304163302Sru#
1305163302Sru#	"The majority of businesses in Atikokan deal more with Eastern
1306163302Sru#	Canada, but there are some that deal with Western Canada," he
1307163302Sru#	said.  "I don't see any changes happening here."
1308163302Sru#
1309163302Sru# Walton also writes "Supposedly Pickle Lake and Mishkeegogamang

1312163302Sru# From Garry McKinnon (2006-07-14) via Chris Walton:
1313163302Sru# I chatted with a member of my board who has an outstanding memory
1314163302Sru# and a long history in Atikokan (and in the telecom industry) and he
1315163302Sru# can say for certain that Atikokan has been practicing the current
1316163302Sru# time keeping since 1952, at least.
1317163302Sru
1318163302Sru# From Paul Eggert (2006-07-17):
1319163302Sru# Shanks & Pottenger say that Atikokan has agreed with Rainy River
1320163302Sru# ever since standard time was introduced, but the information from
1321163302Sru# McKinnon sounds more authoritative.  For now, assume that Atikokan
1322163302Sru# switched to EST immediately after WWII era daylight saving time
1323163302Sru# ended.  This matches the old (less-populous) America/Coral_Harbour
1324163302Sru# entry since our cutoff date of 1970, so we can move

1343210718Sedwin#
1344210718Sedwin#     The one-hour setback will go into effect throughout most of Ontario,

1346210718Sedwin#
1347210718Sedwin# Windsor is, of course, a lot larger than Nipigon.

1349210718Sedwin# I only came across this incidentally.  I don't know if Windsor began

154317200Swollman
1544121098Swollman# From Mark Brader (2003-07-26):
1545121098Swollman# The first actual adoption of DST in Canada was at the municipal
1546121098Swollman# level.  As the [Toronto] Star put it (1912-06-07), "While people
1547121098Swollman# elsewhere have long been talking of legislation to save daylight,
1548121098Swollman# the city of Moose Jaw [Saskatchewan] has acted on its own hook."
1549121098Swollman# DST in Moose Jaw began on Saturday, 1912-06-01 (no time mentioned:
1550121098Swollman# presumably late evening, as below), and would run until "the end of
1551121098Swollman# the summer".  The discrepancy between municipal time and railroad
1552121098Swollman# time was noted.
1553121098Swollman
1554121098Swollman# From Paul Eggert (2003-07-27):
1555121098Swollman# Willett (1914-03) notes that DST "has been in operation ... in the
1556121098Swollman# City of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, for one year."
1557121098Swollman
1558158421Swollman# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
1559158421Swollman# Shanks & Pottenger say that since 1970 this region has mostly been as Regina.
156017200Swollman# Some western towns (e.g. Swift Current) switched from MST/MDT to CST in 1972.
156117200Swollman# Other western towns (e.g. Lloydminster) are like Edmonton.
156267578Swollman# Matthews and Vincent (1998) write that Denare Beach and Creighton
156367578Swollman# are like Winnipeg, in violation of Saskatchewan law.
156417200Swollman
1565149514Swollman# From W. Jones (1992-11-06):
156617200Swollman# The. . .below is based on information I got from our law library, the
156717200Swollman# provincial archives, and the provincial Community Services department.
156817200Swollman# A precise history would require digging through newspaper archives, and
156917200Swollman# since you didn't say what you wanted, I didn't bother.
157017200Swollman#
157117200Swollman# Saskatchewan is split by a time zone meridian (105W) and over the years
157217200Swollman# the boundary became pretty ragged as communities near it reevaluated
157317200Swollman# their affiliations in one direction or the other.  In 1965 a provincial
157417200Swollman# referendum favoured legislating common time practices.
157517200Swollman#
157617200Swollman# On 15 April 1966 the Time Act (c. T-14, Revised Statutes of
157717200Swollman# Saskatchewan 1978) was proclaimed, and established that the eastern
157817200Swollman# part of Saskatchewan would use CST year round, that districts in
157917200Swollman# northwest Saskatchewan would by default follow CST but could opt to
158017200Swollman# follow Mountain Time rules (thus 1 hour difference in the winter and
158117200Swollman# zero in the summer), and that districts in southwest Saskatchewan would
158217200Swollman# by default follow MT but could opt to follow CST.
158317200Swollman#
158417200Swollman# It took a few years for the dust to settle (I know one story of a town
158517200Swollman# on one time zone having its school in another, such that a mom had to
158617200Swollman# serve her family lunch in two shifts), but presently it seems that only
158717200Swollman# a few towns on the border with Alberta (e.g. Lloydminster) follow MT
158817200Swollman# rules any more; all other districts appear to have used CST year round
158917200Swollman# since sometime in the 1960s.
159017200Swollman
1591163302Sru# From Chris Walton (2006-06-26):
1592163302Sru# The Saskatchewan time act which was last updated in 1996 is about 30 pages
1593163302Sru# long and rather painful to read.

2269158421Swollman# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
227075267Swollman# Formerly there was an America/Ensenada zone, which differed from
227175267Swollman# America/Tijuana only in that it did not observe DST from 1976
2272158421Swollman# through 1995.  This was as per Shanks (1999).  But Shanks & Pottenger say
2273158421Swollman# Ensenada did not observe DST from 1948 through 1975.  Guy Harris reports
227475267Swollman# that the 1987 OAG says "Only Ensenada, Mexicale, San Felipe and
2275158421Swollman# Tijuana observe DST," which agrees with Shanks & Pottenger but implies that
227675267Swollman# DST-observance was a town-by-town matter back then.  This concerns
227775267Swollman# data after 1970 so most likely there should be at least one Zone
227875267Swollman# other than America/Tijuana for Baja, but it's not clear yet what its
227975267Swollman# name or contents should be.

238658787Sru# to DST--and one more hour on 1999-04-04--when the announcers will have

2444177591Sedwin# It seems that Cuba will start DST on Sunday, 2007-03-16...
2445177591Sedwin# It was announced yesterday, according to this source (in Spanish):

2454177591Sedwin#
2455177591Sedwin# The article also says that Cuba has been observing DST since 1963,
2456177591Sedwin# while Shanks (and tzdata) has 1965 as the first date (except in the

2458177591Sedwin# observed since 1963, but with the exception of 1970 - an exception
2459177591Sedwin# which is not present in tzdata/Shanks. So there is a chance we need to

255575267Swollman# Dominican Republic changed its mind and presidential decree on Tuesday,
255675267Swollman# November 28, 2000, with a new decree.  On Sunday, December 3 at 1:00 AM the
255775267Swollman# Dominican Republic will be reverting to 8 hours from the International Date
255875267Swollman# Line, and will not be using DST in the foreseeable future.  The reason they
255975267Swollman# decided to use DST was to be in synch with Puerto Rico, who was also going
256075267Swollman# to implement DST.  When Puerto Rico didn't implement DST, the president
256175267Swollman# decided to revert.
