1714343Swollman# From Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> (1995-12-19):
1814343Swollman# A good source for time zone historical data in the US is
1914343Swollman# Thomas G. Shanks, The American Atlas (5th edition),
2014343Swollman# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (1991).
2114343Swollman# Make sure you have the errata sheet; the book is somewhat useless without it.
2214343Swollman# It is the source for the US and Puerto Rico entries below.
2314343Swollman
2417200Swollman# From Paul Eggert (1996-06-12):
2517200Swollman# Daylight Saving Time was first suggested as a joke by Benjamin Franklin
2617200Swollman# in his whimsical essay ``Turkey vs Eagle, McCauley is my Beagle'' (1784).
2717200Swollman# Not everyone is happy with the results:
2817200Swollman#
2917200Swollman#	I don't really care how time is reckoned so long as there is some
3017200Swollman#	agreement about it, but I object to being told that I am saving
3117200Swollman#	daylight when my reason tells me that I am doing nothing of the kind.
3217200Swollman#	I even object to the implication that I am wasting something
3317200Swollman#	valuable if I stay in bed after the sun has risen.  As an admirer
3417200Swollman#	of moonlight I resent the bossy insistence of those who want to
3517200Swollman#	reduce my time for enjoying it.  At the back of the Daylight Saving
3617200Swollman#	scheme I detect the bony, blue-fingered hand of Puritanism, eager
3717200Swollman#	to push people into bed earlier, and get them up earlier, to make
3817200Swollman#	them healthy, wealthy and wise in spite of themselves.

432742Swollman# US Daylight Saving Time ended on the last Sunday of *October* in 1974.

472742Swollman# From Arthur David Olson:
482742Swollman# Before the Uniform Time Act of 1966 took effect in 1967, observance of
492742Swollman# Daylight Saving Time in the US was by local option, except during wartime.

29714343Swollman# From Paul Eggert (1995-12-19):
29814343Swollman# Indiana generally observes either EST all year, or CST/CDT,
29914343Swollman# but areas near Cincinnati and Louisville use those cities' timekeeping
30014343Swollman# and in 1969 and 1970 the whole state observed daylight time;
30114343Swollman# and there are other exceptions as noted below.
30214343Swollman# Shanks partitions Indiana into 345 regions, each with its own time history,
30314343Swollman# and writes ``Even newspaper reports present contradictory information.''
30414343Swollman# Fortunately, most of the complexity occurred before our cutoff date of 1970.
30514343Swollman#
30614343Swollman# Since 1970, EST-only Indiana has been like America/Indianapolis,
30714343Swollman# with exceptions noted below for Crawford, Starke, and Switzerland counties.
30814343Swollman# The parts of Indiana not listed below have been like America/Chicago,
30914343Swollman# America/Louisville, or America/New_York.
31014343Swollman#
31114343Swollman# Other than Indianapolis, the Indiana place names are so nondescript
31214343Swollman# that they would be ambiguous if we left them at the `America' level.
31314343Swollman# So we reluctantly put them all in a subdirectory `America/Indiana'.

40314343Swollman# Shanks writes that Michigan started using standard time on 1885 Sep 18,

40514343Swollman#
40614343Swollman#	local time until 1900 when the City Council decreed that clocks should
40714343Swollman#	be put back twenty-eight minutes to Central Standard Time.  Half the
40814343Swollman#	city obeyed, half refused.  After considerable debate, the decision
40914343Swollman#	was rescinded and the city reverted to Sun time.  A derisive offer to
41014343Swollman#	erect a sundial in front of the city hall was referred to the
41114343Swollman#	Committee on Sewers.  Then, in 1905, Central time was adopted

75319878Swollman# From W. Jones <jones@skdad.usask.ca> (1992-11-06):
75417200Swollman# The. . .below is based on information I got from our law library, the
75517200Swollman# provincial archives, and the provincial Community Services department.
75617200Swollman# A precise history would require digging through newspaper archives, and
75717200Swollman# since you didn't say what you wanted, I didn't bother.
75817200Swollman#
75917200Swollman# Saskatchewan is split by a time zone meridian (105W) and over the years
76017200Swollman# the boundary became pretty ragged as communities near it reevaluated
76117200Swollman# their affiliations in one direction or the other.  In 1965 a provincial
76217200Swollman# referendum favoured legislating common time practices.
76317200Swollman#
76417200Swollman# On 15 April 1966 the Time Act (c. T-14, Revised Statutes of
76517200Swollman# Saskatchewan 1978) was proclaimed, and established that the eastern
76617200Swollman# part of Saskatchewan would use CST year round, that districts in
76717200Swollman# northwest Saskatchewan would by default follow CST but could opt to
76817200Swollman# follow Mountain Time rules (thus 1 hour difference in the winter and
76917200Swollman# zero in the summer), and that districts in southwest Saskatchewan would
77017200Swollman# by default follow MT but could opt to follow CST.
77117200Swollman#
77217200Swollman# It took a few years for the dust to settle (I know one story of a town
77317200Swollman# on one time zone having its school in another, such that a mom had to
77417200Swollman# serve her family lunch in two shifts), but presently it seems that only
77517200Swollman# a few towns on the border with Alberta (e.g. Lloydminster) follow MT
77617200Swollman# rules any more; all other districts appear to have used CST year round

91443014Swollman# Rules [before] 1987 are unknown.
9152742Swollman# The comments in the OAG say "Only Ensenada, Mexicale, San Felipe and Tijuana
9162742Swollman# observe DST."  This is presumably Baja California Norte, above 28th parallel,
91714343Swollman# as listed there; [there is also] "Baja California Sur and N. Pacific
9182742Swollman# Coast (States of Sinaloa and Sonora)."
9192742Swollman
92019878Swollman# From Bob Devine (1988-01-28):
9212742Swollman# The Federal District (where Mexico City is) has observed [DST] several

9232742Swollman#
9242742Swollman# I don't where to drawn the line in the North Baja area.  28th latitude
9252742Swollman# sounds good -- but it may be higher (how far [d]o radio stations from
9262742Swollman# San Diego affect culture?).
9272742Swollman#
9282742Swollman# The dates of DST probably go back to 1981.  The rules are the same as
9292742Swollman# US's.  This is going to be a headache for US presidential electi[o]n years!
9302742Swollman
93119878Swollman# From Arthur David Olson (1988-02-13)

97617200Swollman#    
97717200Swollman# 2. From the first Sunday in April at 2:00 AM to the last Sunday in October
97817200Swollman#    at 2:00 AM, the times in each zone are as follows:
97917200Swollman#    BajaNorte: GMT+7
98017200Swollman#    BajaSur:   GMT+6
98117200Swollman#    General:   GMT+5
98217200Swollman#    
98317200Swollman# 3. The rest of the year, the times are as follows:
