22# From Paul Eggert (1999-03-31):
23# Howse writes (pp 121-125) that time zones were invented by
24# Professor Charles Ferdinand Dowd (1825-1904),
25# Principal of Temple Grove Ladies' Seminary (Saratoga Springs, NY).
26# His pamphlet "A System of National Time for Railroads" (1870)
27# was the result of his proposals at the Convention of Railroad Trunk Lines
28# in New York City (1869-10).  His 1870 proposal was based on Washington, DC,
29# but in 1872-05 he moved the proposed origin to Greenwich.
30
31# From Paul Eggert (2018-03-20):
32# Dowd's proposal left many details unresolved, such as where to draw
33# lines between time zones.  The key individual who made time zones
34# work in the US was William Frederick Allen - railway engineer,
35# managing editor of the Travelers' Guide, and secretary of the
36# General Time Convention, a railway standardization group.  Allen
37# spent months in dialogs with scientific and railway leaders,
38# developed a workable plan to institute time zones, and presented it
39# to the General Time Convention on 1883-04-11, saying that his plan
40# meant "local time would be practically abolished" - a plus for
41# railway scheduling.  By the next convention on 1883-10-11 nearly all
42# railroads had agreed and it took effect on 1883-11-18.  That Sunday
43# was called the "day of two noons", as some locations observed noon
44# twice.  Allen witnessed the transition in New York City, writing:
45#
46#   I heard the bells of St. Paul's strike on the old time.  Four
47#   minutes later, obedient to the electrical signal from the Naval
48#   Observatory ... the time-ball made its rapid descent, the chimes
49#   of old Trinity rang twelve measured strokes, and local time was
50#   abandoned, probably forever.
51#
52# Most of the US soon followed suit.  See:
53# Bartky IR. The adoption of standard time. Technol Cult 1989 Jan;30(1):25-56.
54# https://dx.doi.org/10.2307/3105430
55
56# From Paul Eggert (2005-04-16):
57# That 1883 transition occurred at 12:00 new time, not at 12:00 old time.
58# See p 46 of David Prerau, Seize the daylight, Thunder's Mouth Press (2005).
59
60# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
61# A good source for time zone historical data in the US is
62# Thomas G. Shanks, The American Atlas (5th edition),
63# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (1991).
64# Make sure you have the errata sheet; the book is somewhat useless without it.
65# It is the source for most of the pre-1991 US entries below.
66
67# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-06):
68# Daylight Saving Time was first suggested as a joke by Benjamin Franklin
69# in his whimsical essay "An Economical Project for Diminishing the Cost
70# of Light" published in the Journal de Paris (1784-04-26).
71# Not everyone is happy with the results:
72#
73#	I don't really care how time is reckoned so long as there is some
74#	agreement about it, but I object to being told that I am saving
75#	daylight when my reason tells me that I am doing nothing of the kind.
76#	I even object to the implication that I am wasting something
77#	valuable if I stay in bed after the sun has risen.  As an admirer
78#	of moonlight I resent the bossy insistence of those who want to
79#	reduce my time for enjoying it.  At the back of the Daylight Saving
80#	scheme I detect the bony, blue-fingered hand of Puritanism, eager
81#	to push people into bed earlier, and get them up earlier, to make
82#	them healthy, wealthy and wise in spite of themselves.

91#
92# Shanks says that DST was called "War Time" in the US in 1918 and 1919.
93# However, DST was imposed by the Standard Time Act of 1918, which
94# was the first nationwide legal time standard, and apparently
95# time was just called "Standard Time" or "Daylight Saving Time".
96
97# From Paul Eggert (2019-06-04):
98# Here is the legal basis for the US federal rules.
99# * Public Law 65-106 (1918-03-19) implemented standard and daylight saving
100#   time for the first time across the US, springing forward on March's last
101#   Sunday and falling back on October's last Sunday.
102#   https://www.loc.gov/law/help/statutes-at-large/65th-congress/session-2/c65s2ch24.pdf
103# * Public Law 66-40 (1919-08-20) repealed DST on October 1919's last Sunday.
104#   https://www.loc.gov/law/help/statutes-at-large/66th-congress/session-1/c66s1ch51.pdf
105# * Public Law 77-403 (1942-01-20) started wartime DST on 1942-02-09.
106#   https://www.loc.gov/law/help/statutes-at-large/77th-congress/session-2/c77s2ch7.pdf
107# * Public Law 79-187 (1945-09-25) ended wartime DST on 1945-09-30.
108#   https://www.loc.gov/law/help/statutes-at-large/79th-congress/session-1/c79s1ch388.pdf
109# * Public Law 89-387 (1966-04-13) reinstituted a national standard for DST,
110#   from April's last Sunday to October's last Sunday, effective 1967.
111#   https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/STATUTE-80/pdf/STATUTE-80-Pg107.pdf
112# * Public Law 93-182 (1973-12-15) moved the 1974 spring-forward to 01-06.

114# * Public Law 93-434 (1974-10-05) moved the 1975 spring-forward to
115#   February's last Sunday.

124
125# From Arthur David Olson:
126# Before the Uniform Time Act of 1966 took effect in 1967, observance of
127# Daylight Saving Time in the US was by local option, except during wartime.
128
129# From Arthur David Olson (2000-09-25):
130# Last night I heard part of a rebroadcast of a 1945 Arch Oboler radio drama.
131# In the introduction, Oboler spoke of "Eastern Peace Time."
132# An AltaVista search turned up:
133# https://web.archive.org/web/20000926032210/http://rowayton.org/rhs/hstaug45.html
134# "When the time is announced over the radio now, it is 'Eastern Peace
135# Time' instead of the old familiar 'Eastern War Time.'  Peace is wonderful."
136# (August 1945) by way of confirmation.
137#
138# From Paul Eggert (2017-09-23):
139# This was the V-J Day issue of the Clamdigger, a Rowayton, CT newsletter.
140
141# From Joseph Gallant citing
142# George H. Douglas, _The Early Days of Radio Broadcasting_ (1987):
143# At 7 P.M. (Eastern War Time) [on 1945-08-14], the networks were set
144# to switch to London for Attlee's address, but the American people
145# never got to hear his speech live. According to one press account,
146# CBS' Bob Trout was first to announce the word of Japan's surrender,
147# but a few seconds later, NBC, ABC and Mutual also flashed the word
148# of surrender, all of whom interrupting the bells of Big Ben in
149# London which were to precede Mr. Attlee's speech.
150
151# From Paul Eggert (2003-02-09): It was Robert St John, not Bob Trout.  From
152# Myrna Oliver's obituary of St John on page B16 of today's Los Angeles Times:
153#
154# ... a war-weary U.S. clung to radios, awaiting word of Japan's surrender.
155# Any announcement from Asia would reach St. John's New York newsroom on a
156# wire service teletype machine, which had prescribed signals for major news.
157# Associated Press, for example, would ring five bells before spewing out
158# typed copy of an important story, and 10 bells for news "of transcendental
159# importance."
160#
161# On Aug. 14, stalling while talking steadily into the NBC networks' open
162# microphone, St. John heard five bells and waited only to hear a sixth bell,
163# before announcing confidently: "Ladies and gentlemen, World War II is over.
164# The Japanese have agreed to our surrender terms."
165#
166# He had scored a 20-second scoop on other broadcasters.
167
168# From Arthur David Olson (2005-08-22):
169# Paul has been careful to use the "US" rules only in those locations
170# that are part of the United States; this reflects the real scope of
171# U.S. government action.  So even though the "US" rules have changed
172# in the latest release, other countries won't be affected.

377# From Paul Eggert (2018-01-07):
378# In 1869 the Chicago Astronomical Society contracted with the city to keep
379# time.  Though delayed by the Great Fire, by 1880 a wire ran from the
380# Dearborn Observatory (on the University of Chicago campus) to City Hall,
381# which then sent signals to police and fire stations.  However, railroads got
382# their time signals from the Allegheny Observatory, the Madison Observatory,
383# the Ann Arbor Observatory, etc., so their clocks did not agree with each
384# other or with the city's official time.  The confusion took some years to
385# clear up.  See:

401# From an email administrator of the City of Fort Pierre, SD (2015-12-21):
402# Fort Pierre is technically located in the Mountain time zone as is
403# the rest of Stanley County.  Most of Stanley County and Fort Pierre
404# uses the Central time zone due to doing most of their business in
405# Pierre so it simplifies schedules.  I have lived in Stanley County

411# From Paul Eggert (2015-04-06):
412# In 1950s Nashville a public clock had dueling faces, one for conservatives
413# and the other for liberals; the two sides didn't agree about the time of day.
414# I haven't found a photo of this clock, nor have I tracked down the TIME
415# magazine report cited below, but here's the story as told by the late
416# American journalist John Seigenthaler, who was there:
417#
418# "The two [newspaper] owners held strongly contrasting political and
419# ideological views.  Evans was a New South liberal, Stahlman an Old South
420# conservative, and their two papers frequently clashed editorially, often on
421# the same day....  In the 1950s as the state legislature was grappling with
422# the question of whether to approve daylight saving time for the entire state,
423# TIME magazine reported:
424#
425# "'The Nashville Banner and The Nashville Tennessean rarely agree on anything
426# but the time of day - and last week they couldn't agree on that.'
427#
428# "It was all too true. The clock on the front of the building had two faces -
429# The Tennessean side of the building facing west, the other, east.  When it
430# was high noon Banner time, it was 11 a.m. Tennessean time."
431#
432# Seigenthaler J. For 100 years, Tennessean had it covered.

529# PG&E changed power frequency from 60 to 59.5 Hz during daylight hours,
530# causing electric clocks to lose six minutes per day.  (This did not change

534# 1973-11.  https://escholarship.org/uc/item/8x22k30c
535#
536# In another measure to save electricity, DST was instituted from 1948-03-14
537# at 02:01 to 1949-01-16 at 02:00, with the governor having the option to move
538# the fallback transition earlier.  See pages 3-4 of:
539# http://clerk.assembly.ca.gov/sites/clerk.assembly.ca.gov/files/archive/Statutes/1948/48Vol1_Chapters.pdf
540#
541# In response:
542#
543#   Governor Warren received a torrent of objecting mail, and it is not too much
544#   to speculate that the objections to Daylight Saving Time were one important
545#   factor in the defeat of the Dewey-Warren Presidential ticket in California.
546#     -- Ross, p 25
547#
548# On December 8 the governor exercised the option, setting the date to January 1
549# (LA Times 1948-12-09).  The transition time was 02:00 (LA Times 1949-01-01).
550#
551# Despite the controversy, in 1949 California voters approved Proposition 12,
552# which established DST from April's last Sunday at 01:00 until September's
553# last Sunday at 02:00. This was amended by 1962's Proposition 6, which changed

574# Howse writes that Alaska switched from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar,
575# and from east-of-GMT to west-of-GMT days, when the US bought it from Russia.
576# On Friday, 1867-10-18 (Gregorian), at precisely 15:30 local time, the
577# Russian forts and fleet at Sitka fired salutes to mark the ceremony of
578# formal transfer.  See the Sacramento Daily Union (1867-11-14), p 3, col 2.
579# https://cdnc.ucr.edu/cgi-bin/cdnc?a=d&d=SDU18671114.2.12.1
580# Sitka workers did not change their calendars until Sunday, 1867-10-20,
581# and so celebrated two Sundays that week.  See: Ahllund T (tr Hallamaa P).

584# Include only the time zone part of this transition, ignoring the switch
585# from Julian to Gregorian, since we can't represent the Julian calendar.
586#
587# As far as we know, of the locations mentioned below only Sitka was
588# permanently inhabited in 1867 by anyone using either calendar.
589# (Yakutat was colonized by the Russians in 1799, but the settlement was
590# destroyed in 1805 by a Yakutat-kon war party.)  Many of Alaska's inhabitants
591# were unaware of the US acquisition of Alaska, much less of any calendar or
592# time change.  However, the Russian-influenced part of Alaska did observe
593# Russian time, and it is more accurate to model this than to ignore it.
594# The database format requires an exact transition time; use the Russian
595# salute as a somewhat-arbitrary time for the formal transfer of control for
596# all of Alaska.  Sitka's UTC offset is -9:01:13; adjust its 15:30 to the
597# local times of other Alaskan locations so that they change simultaneously.

748# From David Flater (2004-11-09):
749# In e-mail, 2004-11-02, Ray Hudson, historian/liaison to the Unalaska
750# Historic Preservation Commission, provided this information, which
751# suggests that Unalaska deviated from statutory time from early 1967
752# possibly until 1983:
753#
754#  Minutes of the Unalaska City Council Meeting, January 10, 1967:
755#  "Except for St. Paul and Akutan, Unalaska is the only important
756#  location not on Alaska Standard Time.  The following resolution was
757#  made by William Robinson and seconded by Henry Swanson: Be it
758#  resolved that the City of Unalaska hereby goes to Alaska Standard
759#  Time as of midnight Friday, January 13, 1967 (1 A.M. Saturday,
760#  January 14, Alaska Standard Time.)  This resolution was passed with
761#  three votes for and one against."

763# Hawaii
764
765# From Arthur David Olson (2010-12-09):
766# "Hawaiian Time" by Robert C. Schmitt and Doak C. Cox appears on pages 207-225
767# of volume 26 of The Hawaiian Journal of History (1992). As of 2010-12-09,
768# the article is available at
769# https://evols.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/bitstream/10524/239/2/JL26215.pdf
770# and indicates that standard time was adopted effective noon, January
771# 13, 1896 (page 218), that in "1933, the Legislature decreed daylight
772# saving for the period between the last Sunday of each April and the
773# last Sunday of each September, but less than a month later repealed the
774# act," (page 220), that year-round daylight saving time was in effect
775# from 1942-02-09 to 1945-09-30 (page 221, with no time of day given for
776# when clocks changed) and that clocks were changed by 30 minutes
777# effective the second Sunday of June, 1947 (page 219, with no time of
778# day given for when clocks changed). A footnote for the 1933 changes
779# cites Session Laws of Hawaii 1933, "Act. 90 (approved 26 Apr. 1933)
780# and Act 163 (approved 21 May 1933)."
781
782# From Arthur David Olson (2011-01-19):
783# The following is from "Laws of the Territory of Hawaii Passed by the
784# Seventeenth Legislature: Regular Session 1933," available (as of
785# 2011-01-19) at American University's Pence Law Library. Page 85: "Act
786# 90...At 2 o'clock ante meridian of the last Sunday in April of each
787# year, the standard time of this Territory shall be advanced one
788# hour...This Act shall take effect upon its approval. Approved this 26th
789# day of April, A. D. 1933. LAWRENCE M JUDD, Governor of the Territory of
790# Hawaii." Page 172: "Act 163...Act 90 of the Session Laws of 1933 is
791# hereby repealed...This Act shall take effect upon its approval, upon
792# which date the standard time of this Territory shall be restored to
793# that existing immediately prior to the taking effect of said Act 90.
794# Approved this 21st day of May, A. D. 1933. LAWRENCE M. JUDD, Governor
795# of the Territory of Hawaii."
796#
797# Note that 1933-05-21 was a Sunday.
798# We're left to guess the time of day when Act 163 was approved; guess noon.

815# <http://www.dlapr.lib.az.us/links/daylight.htm> (2002-01-23)
816# maintained by the Arizona State Library, Archives and Public Records.
817# Between 1944-01-01 and 1944-04-01 the State of Arizona used standard
818# time, but by federal law railroads, airlines, bus lines, military
819# personnel, and some engaged in interstate commerce continued to
820# observe war (i.e., daylight saving) time.  The 1944-03-17 Phoenix
821# Gazette says that was the date the law changed, and that 04-01 was
822# the date the state's clocks would change.  In 1945 the State of
823# Arizona used standard time all year, again with exceptions only as
824# mandated by federal law.  Arizona observed DST in 1967, but Arizona
825# Laws 1968, ch. 183 (effective 1968-03-21) repealed DST.
826#

870# A brief but entertaining history of time in Indiana describes a 1949 debate
871# in the Indiana House where city legislators (who favored "fast time")
872# tussled with farm legislators (who didn't) over a bill to outlaw DST:
873#  "Lacking enough votes, the city faction tries to filibuster until time runs
874#   out on the session at midnight, but rural champion Rep. Herbert Copeland,
875#   R-Madison, leans over the gallery railing and forces the official clock
876#   back to 9 p.m., breaking it in the process.  The clock sticks on 9 as the
877#   debate rages on into the night.  The filibuster finally dies out and the
878#   bill passes, while outside the chamber, clocks read 3:30 a.m.  In the end,
879#   it doesn't matter which side won.  The law has no enforcement powers and
880#   is simply ignored by fast-time communities."

885# From Paul Eggert (2007-08-17):
886# Since 1970, most of Indiana has been like America/Indiana/Indianapolis,
887# with the following exceptions:
888#
889# - Gibson, Jasper, Lake, LaPorte, Newton, Porter, Posey, Spencer,
890#   Vanderburgh, and Warrick counties have been like America/Chicago.
891#
892# - Dearborn and Ohio counties have been like America/New_York.
893#
894# - Clark, Floyd, and Harrison counties have been like
895#   America/Kentucky/Louisville.
896#
897# - Crawford, Daviess, Dubois, Knox, Martin, Perry, Pike, Pulaski, Starke,
898#   and Switzerland counties have their own time zone histories as noted below.
899#
900# Shanks partitioned Indiana into 345 regions, each with its own time history,
901# and wrote "Even newspaper reports present contradictory information."
902# Those Hoosiers!  Such a flighty and changeable people!
903# Fortunately, most of the complexity occurred before our cutoff date of 1970.
904#
905# Other than Indianapolis, the Indiana place names are so nondescript
906# that they would be ambiguous if we left them at the 'America' level.
907# So we reluctantly put them all in a subdirectory 'America/Indiana'.
908
909# From Paul Eggert (2014-06-26):
910# https://www.federalregister.gov/articles/2006/01/20/06-563/standard-time-zone-boundary-in-the-state-of-indiana
911# says "DOT is relocating the time zone boundary in Indiana to move Starke,
912# Pulaski, Knox, Daviess, Martin, Pike, Dubois, and Perry Counties from the

914# this rule is 2 a.m. EST Sunday, April 2, 2006, which is the
915# changeover date from standard time to Daylight Saving Time."
916# Strictly speaking, this meant the affected counties changed their
917# clocks twice that night, but this obviously was in error.  The intent
918# was that 01:59:59 EST be followed by 02:00:00 CDT.

1067# From Paul Eggert (2018-03-20):
1068# The Louisville & Nashville Railroad's 1883-11-18 change occurred at
1069# 10:00 old local time; train were supposed to come to a standstill
1070# for precisely 18 minutes.  See Bartky Fig. 1 (page 50).  It is not
1071# clear how this matched civil time in Louisville, so for now continue
1072# to assume Louisville switched at noon new local time, like New York.
1073#
1074# From Michael Deckers (2019-08-06):
1075# From the contemporary source given by Alois Treindl,

1077# From Paul Eggert (2019-08-26):
1078# That source was the Louisville Courier-Journal, 1946-04-27, p 4.

1107#
1108# From Lake Cumberland LIFE
1109# http://www.lake-cumberland.com/life/archive/news990129time.shtml
1110# (1999-01-29) via WKYM-101.7:
1111# Clinton County has joined Wayne County in asking the DoT to change from
1112# the Central to the Eastern time zone....  The Wayne County government made
1113# the same request in December.  And while Russell County officials have not
1114# taken action, the majority of respondents to a poll conducted there in
1115# August indicated they would like to change to "fast time" also.
1116# The three Lake Cumberland counties are the farthest east of any U.S.
1117# location in the Central time zone.
1118#
1119# From Rich Wales (2000-08-29):
1120# After prolonged debate, and despite continuing deep differences of opinion,
1121# Wayne County (central Kentucky) is switching from Central (-0600) to Eastern
1122# (-0500) time.  They won't "fall back" this year.  See Sara Shipley,
1123# The difference an hour makes, Nando Times (2000-08-29 15:33 -0400).
1124#
1125# From Paul Eggert (2001-07-16):
1126# The final rule was published in the
1127# Federal Register 65, 160 (2000-08-17), pp 50154-50158.

1137# From Rives McDow (2000-08-30):
1138# Here ... are all the changes in the US since 1985.
1139# Kearny County, KS (put all of county on central;
1140#	previously split between MST and CST) ... 1990-10
1141# Starke County, IN (from CST to EST) ... 1991-10
1142# Oliver County, ND (from MST to CST) ... 1992-10
1143# West Wendover, NV (from PST TO MST) ... 1999-10
1144# Wayne County, KY (from CST to EST) ... 2000-10
1145#
1146# From Paul Eggert (2001-07-17):
1147# We don't know where the line used to be within Kearny County, KS,
1148# so omit that change for now.
1149# See America/Indiana/Knox for the Starke County, IN change.
1150# See America/North_Dakota/Center for the Oliver County, ND change.
1151# West Wendover, NV officially switched from Pacific to mountain time on
1152# 1999-10-31.  See the
1153# Federal Register 64, 203 (1999-10-21), pp 56705-56707.
1154# https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-1999-10-21/html/99-27240.htm
1155# However, the Federal Register says that West Wendover already operated
1156# on mountain time, and the rule merely made this official;
1157# hence a separate tz entry is not needed.
1158
1159# Michigan
1160#
1161# From Bob Devine (1988-01-28):
1162# Michigan didn't observe DST from 1968 to 1973.
1163#
1164# From Paul Eggert (1999-03-31):
1165# Shanks writes that Michigan started using standard time on 1885-09-18,
1166# but Howse writes (pp 124-125, referring to Popular Astronomy, 1901-01)
1167# that Detroit kept
1168#
1169#	local time until 1900 when the City Council decreed that clocks should
1170#	be put back twenty-eight minutes to Central Standard Time.  Half the
1171#	city obeyed, half refused.  After considerable debate, the decision
1172#	was rescinded and the city reverted to Sun time.  A derisive offer to
1173#	erect a sundial in front of the city hall was referred to the
1174#	Committee on Sewers.  Then, in 1905, Central time was adopted
1175#	by city vote.
1176#
1177# This story is too entertaining to be false, so go with Howse over Shanks.
1178#
1179# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-06):
1180# Garland (1927) writes "Cleveland and Detroit advanced their clocks
1181# one hour in 1914."  This change is not in Shanks.  We have no more
1182# info, so omit this for now.
1183#
1184# From Paul Eggert (2019-07-06):
1185# Due to a complicated set of legal maneuvers, in 1967 Michigan did
1186# not start daylight saving time when the rest of the US did.
1187# Instead, it began DST on Jun 14 at 00:01.  This was big news:
1188# the Detroit Free Press reported it at the top of Page 1 on
1189# 1967-06-14, in an article "State Adjusting to Switch to Fast Time"
1190# by Gary Blonston, above an article about Thurgood Marshall's
1191# confirmation to the US Supreme Court.  Although Shanks says Detroit
1192# observed DST until 1967-10-29 00:01, that time of day seems to be
1193# incorrect, as the Free Press later said DST ended in Michigan at the
1194# same time as the rest of the US.  Also, although Shanks reports no DST in
1195# Detroit in 1968, it did observe DST that year; in the November 1968
1196# election Michigan voters narrowly repealed DST, effective 1969.
1197#
1198# Most of Michigan observed DST from 1973 on, but was a bit late in 1975.

1491# From Brian Inglis (2015-07-20):
1492# From the historical weather station records available at:
1493# https://weatherspark.com/history/28351/1971/Sydney-Nova-Scotia-Canada
1494# Sydney shares the same time history as Glace Bay, so was
1495# likely to be the same across the island....
1496# Sydney, as the capital and most populous location, or Cape Breton, would
1497# have been better names for the zone had we known this in 1996.
1498
1499# From Paul Eggert (2015-07-20):
1500# Shanks & Pottenger write that since 1970 most of this region has been like
1501# Halifax.  Many locales did not observe peacetime DST until 1972;
1502# the Cape Breton area, represented by Glace Bay, is the largest we know of
1503# (Glace Bay was perhaps not the best name choice but no point changing now).
1504# Shanks & Pottenger also write that Liverpool, NS was the only town
1505# in Canada to observe DST in 1971 but not 1970; for now we'll assume
1506# this is a typo.
1507
1508# From Jeffery Nichols (2020-01-09):
1509# America/Halifax ... also applies to ��les-de-la-Madeleine and the Listuguj
1510# reserve in Quebec. Officially, this came into effect on January 1, 2007
1511# (Legal Time Act, CQLR c T-5.1), but the legislative debates surrounding that
1512# bill say that it is "accommodating the customs and practices" of those
1513# regions, which suggests that they have always been in-line with Halifax.

1753# From Rob Douglas (2006-04-06):
1754# the old Manitoba Time Act - as amended by Bill 2, assented to
1755# March 27, 1987 ... said ...
1756# "between two o'clock Central Standard Time in the morning of
1757# the first Sunday of April of each year and two o'clock Central
1758# Standard Time in the morning of the last Sunday of October next
1759# following, one hour in advance of Central Standard Time."...
1760# I believe that the English legislation [of the old time act] had
1761# been assented to (March 22, 1967)....
1762# Also, as far as I can tell, there was no order-in-council varying
1763# the time of Daylight Saving Time for 2005 and so the provisions of
1764# the 1987 version would apply - the changeover was at 2:00 Central

1803# Saskatchewan
1804
1805# From Mark Brader (2003-07-26):
1806# The first actual adoption of DST in Canada was at the municipal
1807# level.  As the [Toronto] Star put it (1912-06-07), "While people
1808# elsewhere have long been talking of legislation to save daylight,
1809# the city of Moose Jaw [Saskatchewan] has acted on its own hook."
1810# DST in Moose Jaw began on Saturday, 1912-06-01 (no time mentioned:
1811# presumably late evening, as below), and would run until "the end of
1812# the summer".  The discrepancy between municipal time and railroad
1813# time was noted.
1814
1815# From Paul Eggert (2003-07-27):
1816# Willett (1914-03) notes that DST "has been in operation ... in the
1817# City of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, for one year."
1818
1819# From Paul Eggert (2019-07-25):
1820# Pearce's book says Regina observed DST in 1914-1917.  No dates and times,
1821# unfortunately.  It also says that in 1914 Saskatoon observed DST
1822# from 1 June to 6 July, and that DST was also tried out in Davidson,
1823# Melfort, and Prince Albert.
1824
1825# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
1826# Shanks & Pottenger say that since 1970 this region has mostly been as Regina.
1827# Some western towns (e.g. Swift Current) switched from MST/MDT to CST in 1972.
1828# Other western towns (e.g. Lloydminster) are like Edmonton.
1829# Matthews and Vincent (1998) write that Denare Beach and Creighton
1830# are like Winnipeg, in violation of Saskatchewan law.
1831
1832# From W. Jones (1992-11-06):
1833# The. . .below is based on information I got from our law library, the
1834# provincial archives, and the provincial Community Services department.
1835# A precise history would require digging through newspaper archives, and
1836# since you didn't say what you wanted, I didn't bother.
1837#
1838# Saskatchewan is split by a time zone meridian (105W) and over the years
1839# the boundary became pretty ragged as communities near it reevaluated
1840# their affiliations in one direction or the other.  In 1965 a provincial
1841# referendum favoured legislating common time practices.
1842#
1843# On 15 April 1966 the Time Act (c. T-14, Revised Statutes of
1844# Saskatchewan 1978) was proclaimed, and established that the eastern
1845# part of Saskatchewan would use CST year round, that districts in
1846# northwest Saskatchewan would by default follow CST but could opt to
1847# follow Mountain Time rules (thus 1 hour difference in the winter and
1848# zero in the summer), and that districts in southwest Saskatchewan would
1849# by default follow MT but could opt to follow CST.
1850#
1851# It took a few years for the dust to settle (I know one story of a town
1852# on one time zone having its school in another, such that a mom had to
1853# serve her family lunch in two shifts), but presently it seems that only
1854# a few towns on the border with Alberta (e.g. Lloydminster) follow MT
1855# rules any more; all other districts appear to have used CST year round
1856# since sometime in the 1960s.
1857
1858# From Chris Walton (2006-06-26):
1859# The Saskatchewan time act which was last updated in 1996 is about 30 pages
1860# long and rather painful to read.

2044# I tried to trace the history of Yukon time and found the following
2045# regulations, giving the reference title and URL if found, regulation name,
2046# and relevant quote if available.  Each regulation specifically revokes its
2047# predecessor.  The final reference is to the current Interpretation Act
2048# authorizing and resulting from these regulatory changes.

2050# Only recent regulations were retrievable via Yukon government site search or

2161
2162# From Paul Eggert (2000-10-02):
2163# Matthews and Vincent (1998) say the following, but we lack histories
2164# for these potential new Zones.
2165#
2166# The Canadian Forces station at Alert uses Eastern Time while the
2167# handful of residents at the Eureka weather station [in the Central
2168# zone] skip daylight savings.  Baffin Island, which is crossed by the
2169# Central, Eastern and Atlantic Time zones only uses Eastern Time.
2170# Gjoa Haven, Taloyoak and Pelly Bay all use Mountain instead of
2171# Central Time and Southampton Island [in the Central zone] is not
2172# required to use daylight savings.
2173
2174# From <http://www.nunatsiaqonline.ca/archives/nunavut001130/nvt21110_02.html>
2175# Nunavut now has two time zones (2000-11-10):
2176# The Nunavut government would allow its employees in Kugluktuk and
2177# Cambridge Bay to operate on central time year-round, putting them
2178# one hour behind the rest of Nunavut for six months during the winter.
2179# At the end of October the two communities had rebelled against
2180# Nunavut's unified time zone, refusing to shift to eastern time with
2181# the rest of the territory for the winter.  Cambridge Bay remained on
2182# central time, while Kugluktuk, even farther west, reverted to
2183# mountain time, which they had used before the advent of Nunavut's
2184# unified time zone in 1999.
2185#
2186# From Rives McDow (2001-01-20), quoting the Nunavut government:

2190# Let's just keep track of the official times for now.
2191
2192# From Rives McDow (2001-03-07):
2193# The premier of Nunavut has issued a ministerial statement advising
2194# that effective 2001-04-01, the territory of Nunavut will revert
2195# back to three time zones (mountain, central, and eastern).  Of the
2196# cities in Nunavut, Coral Harbor is the only one that I know of that
2197# has said it will not observe dst, staying on EST year round.  I'm
2198# checking for more info, and will get back to you if I come up with

2201
2202# From Gwillim Law (2005-05-21):
2203# According to ...
2204# http://www.canadiangeographic.ca/Magazine/SO98/geomap.asp
2205# (from a 1998 Canadian Geographic article), the de facto and de jure time
2206# for Southampton Island (at the north end of Hudson Bay) is UTC-5 all year
2207# round.  Using Google, it's easy to find other websites that confirm this.
2208# I wasn't able to find how far back this time regimen goes, but since it
2209# predates the creation of Nunavut, it probably goes back many years....
2210# The Inuktitut name of Coral Harbour is Sallit, but it's rarely used.
2211#
2212# From Paul Eggert (2014-10-17):
2213# For lack of better information, assume that Southampton Island observed
2214# daylight saving only during wartime.  Gwillim Law's email also
2215# mentioned maps now maintained by National Research Council Canada;
2216# see above for an up-to-date link.
2217
2218# From Chris Walton (2007-03-01):
2219# ... the community of Resolute (located on Cornwallis Island in
2220# Nunavut) moved from Central Time to Eastern Time last November.
2221# Basically the community did not change its clocks at the end of
2222# daylight saving....
2223# http://www.nnsl.com/frames/newspapers/2006-11/nov13_06none.html
2224
2225# From Chris Walton (2011-03-21):
2226# Back in 2007 I initiated the creation of a new "zone file" for Resolute
2227# Bay. Resolute Bay is a small community located about 900km north of
2228# the Arctic Circle. The zone file was required because Resolute Bay had
2229# decided to use UTC-5 instead of UTC-6 for the winter of 2006-2007.
2230#
2231# According to new information which I received last week, Resolute Bay
2232# went back to using UTC-6 in the winter of 2007-2008...
2233#
2234# On March 11/2007 most of Canada went onto daylight saving. On March
2235# 14/2007 I phoned the Resolute Bay hamlet office to do a "time check." I
2236# talked to somebody that was both knowledgeable and helpful. I was able
2237# to confirm that Resolute Bay was still operating on UTC-5. It was
2238# explained to me that Resolute Bay had been on the Eastern Time zone
2239# (EST) in the winter, and was now back on the Central Time zone (CDT).
2240# i.e. the time zone had changed twice in the last year but the clocks
2241# had not moved. The residents had to know which time zone they were in
2242# so they could follow the correct TV schedule...
2243#
2244# On Nov 02/2008 most of Canada went onto standard time. On Nov 03/2008 I
2245# phoned the Resolute Bay hamlet office...[D]ue to the challenging nature
2246# of the phone call, I decided to seek out an alternate source of
2247# information. I found an e-mail address for somebody by the name of
2248# Stephanie Adams whose job was listed as "Inns North Support Officer for
2249# Arctic Co-operatives." I was under the impression that Stephanie lived
2250# and worked in Resolute Bay...
2251#
2252# On March 14/2011 I phoned the hamlet office again. I was told that
2253# Resolute Bay had been using Central Standard Time over the winter of
2254# 2010-2011 and that the clocks had therefore been moved one hour ahead
2255# on March 13/2011. The person I talked to was aware that Resolute Bay
2256# had previously experimented with Eastern Standard Time but he could not
2257# tell me when the practice had stopped.
2258#
2259# On March 17/2011 I searched the Web to find an e-mail address of
2260# somebody that might be able to tell me exactly when Resolute Bay went
2261# off Eastern Standard Time. I stumbled on the name "Aziz Kheraj." Aziz
2262# used to be the mayor of Resolute Bay and he apparently owns half the
2263# businesses including "South Camp Inn." This website has some info on
2264# Aziz:
2265# http://www.uphere.ca/node/493
2266#
2267# I sent Aziz an e-mail asking when Resolute Bay had stopped using
2268# Eastern Standard Time.
2269#
2270# Aziz responded quickly with this: "hi, The time was not changed for the
2271# 1 year only, the following year, the community went back to the old way
2272# of "spring ahead-fall behind" currently we are zulu plus 5 hrs and in
2273# the winter Zulu plus 6 hrs"
2274#
2275# This of course conflicted with everything I had ascertained in November 2008.
2276#
2277# I sent Aziz a copy of my 2008 e-mail exchange with Stephanie. Aziz
2278# responded with this: "Hi, Stephanie lives in Winnipeg. I live here, You
2279# may want to check with the weather office in Resolute Bay or do a
2280# search on the weather through Env. Canada. web site"
2281#
2282# If I had realized the Stephanie did not live in Resolute Bay I would
2283# never have contacted her.  I now believe that all the information I
2284# obtained in November 2008 should be ignored...
2285# I apologize for reporting incorrect information in 2008.
2286
2287# From Tim Parenti (2020-03-05):
2288# The government of Yukon announced [yesterday] the cessation of seasonal time

2290# will remain on [UTC-07].  ... [The government] found 93 per cent of

2371# From Paul Eggert (2014-12-07):
2372# The Investigation and Analysis Service of the
2373# Mexican Library of Congress (MLoC) has published a
2374# history of Mexican local time (in Spanish)
2375# http://www.diputados.gob.mx/bibliot/publica/inveyana/polisoc/horver/index.htm
2376#
2377# Here are the discrepancies between Shanks & Pottenger (S&P) and the MLoC.
2378# (In all cases we go with the MLoC.)
2379# S&P report that Baja was at -8:00 in 1922/1923.
2380# S&P say the 1930 transition in Baja was 1930-11-16.
2381# S&P report no DST during summer 1931.
2382# S&P report a transition at 1932-03-30 23:00, not 1932-04-01.
2383
2384# From Gwillim Law (2001-02-20):
2385# There are some other discrepancies between the Decrees page and the
2386# tz database.  I think they can best be explained by supposing that
2387# the researchers who prepared the Decrees page failed to find some of
2388# the relevant documents.
2389
2390# From Alan Perry (1996-02-15):
2391# A guy from our Mexico subsidiary finally found the Presidential Decree
2392# outlining the timezone changes in Mexico.
2393#
2394# ------------- Begin Forwarded Message -------------
2395#
2396# I finally got my hands on the Official Presidential Decree that sets up the
2397# rules for the DST changes. The rules are:
2398#
2399# 1. The country is divided in 3 timezones:
2400#    - Baja California Norte (the Mexico/BajaNorte TZ)
2401#    - Baja California Sur, Nayarit, Sinaloa and Sonora (the Mexico/BajaSur TZ)
2402#    - The rest of the country (the Mexico/General TZ)
2403#
2404# 2. From the first Sunday in April at 2:00 AM to the last Sunday in October
2405#    at 2:00 AM, the times in each zone are as follows:
2406#    BajaNorte: GMT+7
2407#    BajaSur:   GMT+6
2408#    General:   GMT+5
2409#
2410# 3. The rest of the year, the times are as follows:
2411#    BajaNorte: GMT+8
2412#    BajaSur:   GMT+7
2413#    General:   GMT+6
2414#
2415# The Decree was published in Mexico's Official Newspaper on January 4th.

2422
2423# From Rives McDow (1998-10-08):
2424# The State of Quintana Roo has reverted back to central STD and DST times
2425# (i.e. UTC -0600 and -0500 as of 1998-08-02).
2426
2427# From Rives McDow (2000-01-10):
2428# Effective April 4, 1999 at 2:00 AM local time, Sonora changed to the time
2429# zone 5 hours from the International Date Line, and will not observe daylight
2430# savings time so as to stay on the same time zone as the southern part of
2431# Arizona year round.
2432
2433# From Jesper N��rgaard, translating
2434# <http://www.reforma.com/nacional/articulo/064327/> (2001-01-17):
2435# In Oaxaca, the 55.000 teachers from the Section 22 of the National
2436# Syndicate of Education Workers, refuse to apply daylight saving each
2437# year, so that the more than 10,000 schools work at normal hour the
2438# whole year.
2439
2440# From Gwillim Law (2001-01-19):
2441# <http://www.reforma.com/negocios_y_dinero/articulo/064481/> ... says
2442# (translated):...
2443# January 17, 2000 - The Energy Secretary, Ernesto Martens, announced

2450# From Arthur David Olson (2001-01-25):
2451# The 2001-01-24 traditional Washington Post contained the page one
2452# story "Timely Issue Divides Mexicans."...
2453# http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A37383-2001Jan23.html
2454# ... Mexico City Mayor L��pez Obrador "...is threatening to keep
2455# Mexico City and its 20 million residents on a different time than
2456# the rest of the country..." In particular, L��pez Obrador would abolish
2457# observation of Daylight Saving Time.
2458
2459# Official statute published by the Energy Department
2460# http://www.conae.gob.mx/ahorro/decretohorver2001.html#decre
2461# (2001-02-01) shows Baja and Chihauhua as still using US DST rules,
2462# and Sonora with no DST.  This was reported by Jesper N��rgaard (2001-02-03).

2464# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-03):
2465#
2466# https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2001-mar-03-mn-32561-story.html
2467# James F. Smith writes in today's LA Times
2468# * Sonora will continue to observe standard time.
2469# * Last week Mexico City's mayor Andr��s Manuel L��pez Obrador decreed that
2470#   the Federal District will not adopt DST.
2471# * 4 of 16 district leaders announced they'll ignore the decree.
2472# * The decree does not affect federal-controlled facilities including
2473#   the airport, banks, hospitals, and schools.
2474#
2475# For now we'll assume that the Federal District will bow to federal rules.
2476
2477# From Jesper N��rgaard (2001-04-01):
2478# I found some references to the Mexican application of daylight
2479# saving, which modifies what I had already sent you, stating earlier
2480# that a number of northern Mexican states would go on daylight
2481# saving. The modification reverts this to only cover Baja California
2482# (Norte), while all other states (except Sonora, who has no daylight
2483# saving all year) will follow the original decree of president
2484# Vicente Fox, starting daylight saving May 6, 2001 and ending
2485# September 30, 2001.

2488
2489# From Reuters (2001-09-04):
2490# Mexico's Supreme Court on Tuesday declared that daylight savings was
2491# unconstitutional in Mexico City, creating the possibility the
2492# capital will be in a different time zone from the rest of the nation
2493# next year....  The Supreme Court's ruling takes effect at 2:00
2494# a.m. (0800 GMT) on Sept. 30, when Mexico is scheduled to revert to
2495# standard time. "This is so residents of the Federal District are not
2496# subject to unexpected time changes," a statement from the court said.
2497
2498# From Jesper N��rgaard Welen (2002-03-12):
2499# ... consulting my local grocery store(!) and my coworkers, they all insisted
2500# that a new decision had been made to reinstate US style DST in Mexico....
2501# http://www.conae.gob.mx/ahorro/horaver2001_m1_2002.html (2002-02-20)
2502# confirms this.  Sonora as usual is the only state where DST is not applied.

2767# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
2768# Formerly there was an America/Ensenada zone, which differed from
2769# America/Tijuana only in that it did not observe DST from 1976
2770# through 1995.  This was as per Shanks (1999).  But Shanks & Pottenger say
2771# Ensenada did not observe DST from 1948 through 1975.  Guy Harris reports
2772# that the 1987 OAG says "Only Ensenada, Mexicali, San Felipe and
2773# Tijuana observe DST," which agrees with Shanks & Pottenger but implies that
2774# DST-observance was a town-by-town matter back then.  This concerns
2775# data after 1970 so most likely there should be at least one Zone
2776# other than America/Tijuana for Baja, but it's not clear yet what its
2777# name or contents should be.
2778#
2779# From Paul Eggert (2015-10-08):
2780# Formerly there was an America/Santa_Isabel zone, but this appears to
2781# have come from a misreading of
2782# http://dof.gob.mx/nota_detalle.php?codigo=5127480&fecha=06/01/2010
2783# It has been moved to the 'backward' file.
2784#
2785# From Paul Eggert (2022-10-28):
2786# Today's new law states that the entire state of Baja California
2787# follows US DST rules, which agrees with simplifications noted above.

3002# in March, until the first Sunday in November.  And, after the Time Zone
3003# (Seasonal Variation) Bill 2006 was passed in the House of Assembly on
3004# Friday, the same thing will happen in Bermuda.

3070# From Arthur David Olson (1999-03-29):
3071# The 1999-03-28 exhibition baseball game held in Havana, Cuba, between
3072# the Cuban National Team and the Baltimore Orioles was carried live on
3073# the Orioles Radio Network, including affiliate WTOP in Washington, DC.
3074# During the game, play-by-play announcer Jim Hunter noted that
3075# "We'll be losing two hours of sleep...Cuba switched to Daylight Saving
3076# Time today."  (The "two hour" remark referred to losing one hour of
3077# sleep on 1999-03-28 - when the announcers were in Cuba as it switched
3078# to DST - and one more hour on 1999-04-04 - when the announcers will have
3079# returned to Baltimore, which switches on that date.)

3131# From Arthur David Olson (2008-03-09):
3132# I'm in Maryland which is now observing United States Eastern Daylight
3133# Time. At 9:44 local time I used RealPlayer to listen to
3134# http://media.enet.cu/radioreloj
3135# a Cuban information station, and heard
3136# the time announced as "ocho cuarenta y cuatro" ("eight forty-four"),
3137# indicating that Cuba is still on standard time.
3138
3139# From Steffen Thorsen (2008-03-12):
3140# It seems that Cuba will start DST on Sunday, 2007-03-16...
3141# It was announced yesterday, according to this source (in Spanish):
3142# http://www.nnc.cubaweb.cu/marzo-2008/cien-1-11-3-08.htm
3143#
3144# Some more background information is posted here:
3145# https://www.timeanddate.com/news/time/cuba-starts-dst-march-16.html
3146#
3147# The article also says that Cuba has been observing DST since 1963,
3148# while Shanks (and tzdata) has 1965 as the first date (except in the
3149# 1940's). Many other web pages in Cuba also claim that it has been
3150# observed since 1963, but with the exception of 1970 - an exception
3151# which is not present in tzdata/Shanks. So there is a chance we need to
3152# change some historic records as well.
3153#
3154# One example:

3160# http://www.granma.cubaweb.cu/2008/03/13/nacional/artic10.html
3161#
3162# Basically as expected after Steffen Thorsen's information, the change
3163# will take place midnight between Saturday and Sunday.

3337# Diario Co Latino, at

3339# says in an article dated 2006-04-19 that the Guatemalan government had

3361# Haiti
3362# From Gwillim Law (2005-04-15):
3363# Risto O. Nyk��nen wrote me that Haiti is now on DST.
3364# I searched for confirmation, and I found a press release
3365# on the Web page of the Haitian Consulate in Chicago (2005-03-31),
3366# <http://www.haitianconsulate.org/time.doc>.  Translated from French, it says:
3367#
3368#  "The Prime Minister's Communication Office notifies the public in general
3369#   and the press in particular that, following a decision of the Interior
3370#   Ministry and the Territorial Collectivities [I suppose that means the
3371#   provinces], Haiti will move to Eastern Daylight Time in the night from next
3372#   Saturday the 2nd to Sunday the 3rd.
3373#
3374#  "Consequently, the Prime Minister's Communication Office wishes to inform
3375#   the population that the country's clocks will be set forward one hour
3376#   starting at midnight.  This provision will hold until the last Saturday in
3377#   October 2005.
3378#
3379#  "Port-au-Prince, March 31, 2005"
3380#
3381# From Steffen Thorsen (2006-04-04):
3382# I have been informed by users that Haiti observes DST this year like
3383# last year, so the current "only" rule for 2005 might be changed to a
3384# "max" rule or to last until 2006. (Who knows if they will observe DST
3385# next year or if they will extend their DST like US/Canada next year).
3386#
3387# I have found this article about it (in French):
3388# http://www.haitipressnetwork.com/news.cfm?articleID=7612
3389#
3390# The reason seems to be an energy crisis.

3392# From Stephen Colebourne (2007-02-22):
3393# Some IATA info: Haiti won't be having DST in 2007.
3394
3395# From Steffen Thorsen (2012-03-11):
3396# According to several news sources, Haiti will observe DST this year,
3397# apparently using the same start and end date as USA/Canada.
3398# So this means they have already changed their time.

3407

3674# From Tim Parenti (2020-12-05):
3675# Although L.N. 31/2017 reads that it "shall come into operation at 2:00 a.m.
3676# on 11th March 2018", a precise interpretation here poses some problems.  The
3677# order states that "the standard time to be observed throughout the Turks and
3678# Caicos Islands shall be the same time zone as the Eastern United States of
3679# America" and further clarifies "[f]or the avoidance of doubt" that it
3680# "applies to the Eastern Standard Time as well as any changes thereto for
3681# Daylight Saving Time."  However, as clocks in Turks and Caicos approached
3682# 02:00 -04, and thus the declared implementation time, it was still 01:00 EST
3683# (-05), as DST in the Eastern US would not start until an hour later.
3684#
3685# Since it is unlikely that those on the islands switched their clocks twice in
3686# the span of an hour, we assume instead that the adoption of EDT actually took
3687# effect once clocks in the Eastern US had sprung forward, from 03:00 -04.
3688# This discrepancy only affects the time zone abbreviation and DST flag for the
3689# intervening hour, not wall clock times, as -04 was maintained throughout.
