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.
116#   https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/STATUTE-88/pdf/STATUTE-88-Pg1209.pdf

123# All transitions are at 02:00 local time.
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.

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

400# From an email administrator of the City of Fort Pierre, SD (2015-12-21):
401# Fort Pierre is technically located in the Mountain time zone as is
402# the rest of Stanley County.  Most of Stanley County and Fort Pierre
403# uses the Central time zone due to doing most of their business in
404# Pierre so it simplifies schedules.  I have lived in Stanley County
405# all my life and it has been that way since I can remember.  (43 years!)
406#
407# From Paul Eggert (2015-12-25):
408# Assume this practice predates 1970, so Fort Pierre can use America/Chicago.

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

529# causing electric clocks to lose six minutes per day.  (This did not change

535# In another measure to save electricity, DST was instituted from 1948-03-14
536# at 02:01 to 1949-01-16 at 02:00, with the governor having the option to move
537# the fallback transition earlier.  See pages 3-4 of:

539#
540# In response:
541#
542#   Governor Warren received a torrent of objecting mail, and it is not too much
543#   to speculate that the objections to Daylight Saving Time were one important
544#   factor in the defeat of the Dewey-Warren Presidential ticket in California.
545#     -- Ross, p 25
546#
547# On December 8 the governor exercised the option, setting the date to January 1
548# (LA Times 1948-12-09).  The transition time was 02:00 (LA Times 1949-01-01).
549#
550# Despite the controversy, in 1949 California voters approved Proposition 12,
551# which established DST from April's last Sunday at 01:00 until September's
552# last Sunday at 02:00. This was amended by 1962's Proposition 6, which changed

573# Howse writes that Alaska switched from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar,
574# and from east-of-GMT to west-of-GMT days, when the US bought it from Russia.
575# On Friday, 1867-10-18 (Gregorian), at precisely 15:30 local time, the
576# Russian forts and fleet at Sitka fired salutes to mark the ceremony of
577# formal transfer.  See the Sacramento Daily Union (1867-11-14), p 3, col 2.
578# https://cdnc.ucr.edu/cgi-bin/cdnc?a=d&d=SDU18671114.2.12.1
579# Sitka workers did not change their calendars until Sunday, 1867-10-20,
580# and so celebrated two Sundays that week.  See: Ahllund T (tr Hallamaa P).
581# From the memoirs of a Finnish workman. Alaska History. 2006 Fall;21(2):1-25.

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

735# Shanks writes that part of southwest Alaska (e.g. Aniak)
736# switched from -11:00 to -10:00 on 1968-09-22 at 02:00,

740# In e-mail, 2004-11-02, Ray Hudson, historian/liaison to the Unalaska
741# Historic Preservation Commission, provided this information, which
742# suggests that Unalaska deviated from statutory time from early 1967
743# possibly until 1983:
744#
745#  Minutes of the Unalaska City Council Meeting, January 10, 1967:
746#  "Except for St. Paul and Akutan, Unalaska is the only important
747#  location not on Alaska Standard Time.  The following resolution was
748#  made by William Robinson and seconded by Henry Swanson: Be it
749#  resolved that the City of Unalaska hereby goes to Alaska Standard
750#  Time as of midnight Friday, January 13, 1967 (1 A.M. Saturday,
751#  January 14, Alaska Standard Time.)  This resolution was passed with
752#  three votes for and one against."

754# Hawaii
755
756# From Arthur David Olson (2010-12-09):
757# "Hawaiian Time" by Robert C. Schmitt and Doak C. Cox appears on pages 207-225
758# of volume 26 of The Hawaiian Journal of History (1992). As of 2010-12-09,
759# the article is available at
760# https://evols.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/bitstream/10524/239/2/JL26215.pdf
761# and indicates that standard time was adopted effective noon, January
762# 13, 1896 (page 218), that in "1933, the Legislature decreed daylight
763# saving for the period between the last Sunday of each April and the
764# last Sunday of each September, but less than a month later repealed the
765# act," (page 220), that year-round daylight saving time was in effect
766# from 1942-02-09 to 1945-09-30 (page 221, with no time of day given for
767# when clocks changed) and that clocks were changed by 30 minutes
768# effective the second Sunday of June, 1947 (page 219, with no time of
769# day given for when clocks changed). A footnote for the 1933 changes
770# cites Session Laws of Hawaii 1933, "Act. 90 (approved 26 Apr. 1933)
771# and Act 163 (approved 21 May 1933)."
772
773# From Arthur David Olson (2011-01-19):
774# The following is from "Laws of the Territory of Hawaii Passed by the
775# Seventeenth Legislature: Regular Session 1933," available (as of
776# 2011-01-19) at American University's Pence Law Library. Page 85: "Act
777# 90...At 2 o'clock ante meridian of the last Sunday in April of each
778# year, the standard time of this Territory shall be advanced one
779# hour...This Act shall take effect upon its approval. Approved this 26th
780# day of April, A. D. 1933. LAWRENCE M JUDD, Governor of the Territory of
781# Hawaii." Page 172: "Act 163...Act 90 of the Session Laws of 1933 is
782# hereby repealed...This Act shall take effect upon its approval, upon
783# which date the standard time of this Territory shall be restored to
784# that existing immediately prior to the taking effect of said Act 90.

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

859# From Paul Eggert (2018-11-30):
860# A brief but entertaining history of time in Indiana describes a 1949 debate
861# in the Indiana House where city legislators (who favored "fast time")
862# tussled with farm legislators (who didn't) over a bill to outlaw DST:
863#  "Lacking enough votes, the city faction tries to filibuster until time runs
864#   out on the session at midnight, but rural champion Rep. Herbert Copeland,
865#   R-Madison, leans over the gallery railing and forces the official clock
866#   back to 9 p.m., breaking it in the process.  The clock sticks on 9 as the
867#   debate rages on into the night.  The filibuster finally dies out and the
868#   bill passes, while outside the chamber, clocks read 3:30 a.m.  In the end,
869#   it doesn't matter which side won.  The law has no enforcement powers and
870#   is simply ignored by fast-time communities."

875# From Paul Eggert (2007-08-17):
876# Since 1970, most of Indiana has been like America/Indiana/Indianapolis,
877# with the following exceptions:
878#
879# - Gibson, Jasper, Lake, LaPorte, Newton, Porter, Posey, Spencer,
880#   Vanderburgh, and Warrick counties have been like America/Chicago.
881#
882# - Dearborn and Ohio counties have been like America/New_York.
883#
884# - Clark, Floyd, and Harrison counties have been like
885#   America/Kentucky/Louisville.
886#
887# - Crawford, Daviess, Dubois, Knox, Martin, Perry, Pike, Pulaski, Starke,
888#   and Switzerland counties have their own time zone histories as noted below.
889#
890# Shanks partitioned Indiana into 345 regions, each with its own time history,
891# and wrote "Even newspaper reports present contradictory information."
892# Those Hoosiers!  Such a flighty and changeable people!
893# Fortunately, most of the complexity occurred before our cutoff date of 1970.
894#
895# Other than Indianapolis, the Indiana place names are so nondescript
896# that they would be ambiguous if we left them at the 'America' level.
897# So we reluctantly put them all in a subdirectory 'America/Indiana'.

906# Strictly speaking, this meant the affected counties changed their

1057# From Paul Eggert (2018-03-20):
1058# The Louisville & Nashville Railroad's 1883-11-18 change occurred at
1059# 10:00 old local time; train were supposed to come to a standstill
1060# for precisely 18 minutes.  See Bartky Fig. 1 (page 50).  It is not
1061# clear how this matched civil time in Louisville, so for now continue
1062# to assume Louisville switched at noon new local time, like New York.

1065# From the contemporary source given by Alois Treindl,

1098# From Lake Cumberland LIFE
1099# http://www.lake-cumberland.com/life/archive/news990129time.shtml
1100# (1999-01-29) via WKYM-101.7:
1101# Clinton County has joined Wayne County in asking the DoT to change from
1102# the Central to the Eastern time zone....  The Wayne County government made
1103# the same request in December.  And while Russell County officials have not
1104# taken action, the majority of respondents to a poll conducted there in
1105# August indicated they would like to change to "fast time" also.
1106# The three Lake Cumberland counties are the farthest east of any U.S.
1107# location in the Central time zone.
1108#
1109# From Rich Wales (2000-08-29):
1110# After prolonged debate, and despite continuing deep differences of opinion,
1111# Wayne County (central Kentucky) is switching from Central (-0600) to Eastern
1112# (-0500) time.  They won't "fall back" this year.  See Sara Shipley,
1113# The difference an hour makes, Nando Times (2000-08-29 15:33 -0400).
1114#
1115# From Paul Eggert (2001-07-16):
1116# The final rule was published in the

1127# From Rives McDow (2000-08-30):
1128# Here ... are all the changes in the US since 1985.
1129# Kearny County, KS (put all of county on central;
1130#	previously split between MST and CST) ... 1990-10

1134# Wayne County, KY (from CST to EST) ... 2000-10
1135#
1136# From Paul Eggert (2001-07-17):
1137# We don't know where the line used to be within Kearny County, KS,
1138# so omit that change for now.
1139# See America/Indiana/Knox for the Starke County, IN change.
1140# See America/North_Dakota/Center for the Oliver County, ND change.
1141# West Wendover, NV officially switched from Pacific to mountain time on
1142# 1999-10-31.  See the
1143# Federal Register 64, 203 (1999-10-21), pp 56705-56707.
1144# https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-1999-10-21/html/99-27240.htm
1145# However, the Federal Register says that West Wendover already operated
1146# on mountain time, and the rule merely made this official;
1147# hence a separate tz entry is not needed.

1149# Michigan
1150#
1151# From Bob Devine (1988-01-28):
1152# Michigan didn't observe DST from 1968 to 1973.
1153#
1154# From Paul Eggert (1999-03-31):
1155# Shanks writes that Michigan started using standard time on 1885-09-18,
1156# but Howse writes (pp 124-125, referring to Popular Astronomy, 1901-01)
1157# that Detroit kept
1158#
1159#	local time until 1900 when the City Council decreed that clocks should
1160#	be put back twenty-eight minutes to Central Standard Time.  Half the
1161#	city obeyed, half refused.  After considerable debate, the decision
1162#	was rescinded and the city reverted to Sun time.  A derisive offer to
1163#	erect a sundial in front of the city hall was referred to the
1164#	Committee on Sewers.  Then, in 1905, Central time was adopted
1165#	by city vote.
1166#
1167# This story is too entertaining to be false, so go with Howse over Shanks.
1168#
1169# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-06):
1170# Garland (1927) writes "Cleveland and Detroit advanced their clocks
1171# one hour in 1914."  This change is not in Shanks.  We have no more
1172# info, so omit this for now.
1173#
1174# From Paul Eggert (2019-07-06):
1175# Due to a complicated set of legal maneuvers, in 1967 Michigan did
1176# not start daylight saving time when the rest of the US did.
1177# Instead, it began DST on Jun 14 at 00:01.  This was big news:
1178# the Detroit Free Press reported it at the top of Page 1 on
1179# 1967-06-14, in an article "State Adjusting to Switch to Fast Time"
1180# by Gary Blonston, above an article about Thurgood Marshall's
1181# confirmation to the US Supreme Court.  Although Shanks says Detroit
1182# observed DST until 1967-10-29 00:01, that time of day seems to be
1183# incorrect, as the Free Press later said DST ended in Michigan at the
1184# same time as the rest of the US.  Also, although Shanks reports no DST in
1185# Detroit in 1968, it did observe DST that year; in the November 1968
1186# election Michigan voters narrowly repealed DST, effective 1969.
1187#
1188# Most of Michigan observed DST from 1973 on, but was a bit late in 1975.

1367# '... The daylight saving scheme was dropped all over Canada at the same time,'
1368# These statements refer to a transition from daylight time to standard time

1478# From the historical weather station records available at:
1479# https://weatherspark.com/history/28351/1971/Sydney-Nova-Scotia-Canada
1480# Sydney shares the same time history as Glace Bay, so was
1481# likely to be the same across the island....
1482# Sydney, as the capital and most populous location, or Cape Breton, would
1483# have been better names for the zone had we known this in 1996.
1484
1485# From Paul Eggert (2015-07-20):
1486# Shanks & Pottenger write that since 1970 most of this region has been like
1487# Halifax.  Many locales did not observe peacetime DST until 1972;
1488# the Cape Breton area, represented by Glace Bay, is the largest we know of
1489# (Glace Bay was perhaps not the best name choice but no point changing now).
1490# Shanks & Pottenger also write that Liverpool, NS was the only town
1491# in Canada to observe DST in 1971 but not 1970; for now we'll assume
1492# this is a typo.
1493
1494# From Jeffery Nichols (2020-01-09):
1495# America/Halifax ... also applies to Îles-de-la-Madeleine and the Listuguj
1496# reserve in Quebec. Officially, this came into effect on January 1, 2007
1497# (Legal Time Act, CQLR c T-5.1), but the legislative debates surrounding that
1498# bill say that it is "accommodating the customs and practices" of those
1499# regions, which suggests that they have always been in-line with Halifax.

1597#
1598# Matthews and Vincent (1998) also write that Quebec east of the -63

1622# Many smaller locales did not observe peacetime DST until 1974;
1623# Nipigon (EST) and Rainy River (CST) are the largest that we know of.
1624# Far west Ontario is like Winnipeg; far east Quebec is like Halifax.
1625
1626# From Jeffery Nichols (2020-02-06):
1627# According to the [Shanks] atlas, those western Ontario zones are huge,
1628# covering most of Ontario northwest of Sault Ste Marie and Timmins.
1629# The zones seem to include towns bigger than the ones they're named after,
1630# like Dryden in America/Rainy_River and Wawa (and maybe Attawapiskat) in
1631# America/Nipigon.  I assume it's too much trouble to change the name of the

1634
1635# From Mark Brader (2003-07-26):
1636# [According to the Toronto Star] Orillia, Ontario, adopted DST

1638# Port Arthur (now part of Thunder Bay, Ontario) as well as Moose Jaw
1639# have already done so.  In Orillia DST was to run until Saturday,
1640# 1912-08-31 (no time mentioned), but it was met with considerable
1641# hostility from certain segments of the public, and was revoked after
1642# only two weeks - I copied it as Saturday, 1912-07-07, 22:00, but
1643# presumably that should be -07-06.  (1912-06-19, -07-12; also letters

1646# Kenora, Ontario, was to abandon DST on 1914-06-01 (-05-21).

1653# From Paul Eggert (1997-10-17):
1654# Mark Brader writes that an article in the 1997-10-14 Toronto Star
1655# says that Atikokan, Ontario currently does not observe DST,
1656# but will vote on 11-10 whether to use EST/EDT.
1657# He also writes that the Ontario Time Act (1990, Chapter T.9)
1658# http://www.gov.on.ca/MBS/english/publications/statregs/conttext.html
1659# says that Ontario east of 90W uses EST/EDT, and west of 90W uses CST/CDT.
1660# Officially Atikokan is therefore on CST/CDT, and most likely this report
1661# concerns a non-official time observed as a matter of local practice.
1662#
1663# From Paul Eggert (2000-10-02):
1664# Matthews and Vincent (1998) write that Atikokan, Pickle Lake, and
1665# New Osnaburgh observe CST all year, that Big Trout Lake observes
1666# CST/CDT, and that Upsala and Shebandowan observe EST/EDT, all in
1667# violation of the official Ontario rules.
1668#
1669# From Paul Eggert (2006-07-09):
1670# Chris Walton (2006-07-06) mentioned an article by Stephanie MacLellan in the
1671# 2005-07-21 Chronicle-Journal, which said:
1672#
1673#	The clocks in Atikokan stay set on standard time year-round.
1674#	This means they spend about half the time on central time and
1675#	the other half on eastern time.
1676#
1677#	For the most part, the system works, Mayor Dennis Brown said.
1678#
1679#	"The majority of businesses in Atikokan deal more with Eastern
1680#	Canada, but there are some that deal with Western Canada," he
1681#	said.  "I don't see any changes happening here."
1682#
1683# Walton also writes "Supposedly Pickle Lake and Mishkeegogamang
1684# [New Osnaburgh] follow the same practice."
1685
1686# From Garry McKinnon (2006-07-14) via Chris Walton:
1687# I chatted with a member of my board who has an outstanding memory
1688# and a long history in Atikokan (and in the telecom industry) and he
1689# can say for certain that Atikokan has been practicing the current
1690# time keeping since 1952, at least.
1691
1692# From Paul Eggert (2006-07-17):
1693# Shanks & Pottenger say that Atikokan has agreed with Rainy River
1694# ever since standard time was introduced, but the information from

1706#
1707# # From Paul Eggert (2006-07-09):
1708# # Shanks & Pottenger write that since 1970 most of Ontario has been like
1709# # Toronto.
1710# # Thunder Bay skipped DST in 1973.
1711# # Many smaller locales did not observe peacetime DST until 1974;
1712# # Nipigon (EST) and Rainy River (CST) are the largest that we know of.
1713#
1714# In the (Toronto) Globe and Mail for Saturday, 1955-09-24, in the bottom
1715# right corner of page 1, it says that Toronto will return to standard
1716# time at 2 am Sunday morning (which agrees with the database), and that:
1717#
1718#     The one-hour setback will go into effect throughout most of Ontario,
1719#     except in areas like Windsor which remains on standard time all year.
1720#
1721# Windsor is, of course, a lot larger than Nipigon.
1722#
1723# I only came across this incidentally.  I don't know if Windsor began
1724# observing DST when Detroit did, or in 1974, or on some other date.
1725#
1726# By the way, the article continues by noting that:
1727#
1728#     Some cities in the United States have pushed the deadline back
1729#     three weeks and will change over from daylight saving in October.

1741#   A list of the places in Canada using daylight saving time would
1742# require yearly revision. From information kindly furnished by
1743# the provincial governments and by the postmasters in many cities
1744# and towns, it is found that the following places used daylight sav-

1746# for the other provinces only approximate:
1747#
1748#	Province	Daylight saving time used
1749# Prince Edward Island	Not used.
1750# Nova Scotia		In Halifax only.
1751# New Brunswick		In St. John only.
1752# Quebec		In the following places:
1753#			Montreal	Lachine
1754#			Quebec		Mont-Royal
1755#			Lévis		Iberville
1756#			St. Lambert	Cap de la Madelèine

1760#			Longueuil	Greenfield Park
1761#			Arvida		Waterloo
1762#			Chambly-Canton	Beaulieu
1763#			Melbourne	La Tuque
1764#			St. Théophile	Buckingham
1765# Ontario		Used generally in the cities and towns along
1766#			the southerly part of the province. Not
1767#			used in the northwesterly part.
1768# Manitoba		Not used.
1769# Saskatchewan		In Regina only.
1770# Alberta		Not used.
1771# British Columbia	Not used.
1772#
1773#   With some exceptions, the use of daylight saving may be said to be limited
1774# to those cities and towns lying between Quebec city and Windsor, Ont.

1855# From Rob Douglas (2006-04-06):
1856# the old Manitoba Time Act - as amended by Bill 2, assented to
1857# March 27, 1987 ... said ...
1858# "between two o'clock Central Standard Time in the morning of
1859# the first Sunday of April of each year and two o'clock Central
1860# Standard Time in the morning of the last Sunday of October next
1861# following, one hour in advance of Central Standard Time."...
1862# I believe that the English legislation [of the old time act] had
1863# been assented to (March 22, 1967)....
1864# Also, as far as I can tell, there was no order-in-council varying
1865# the time of Daylight Saving Time for 2005 and so the provisions of
1866# the 1987 version would apply - the changeover was at 2:00 Central

1905# Saskatchewan
1906
1907# From Mark Brader (2003-07-26):
1908# The first actual adoption of DST in Canada was at the municipal
1909# level.  As the [Toronto] Star put it (1912-06-07), "While people
1910# elsewhere have long been talking of legislation to save daylight,
1911# the city of Moose Jaw [Saskatchewan] has acted on its own hook."
1912# DST in Moose Jaw began on Saturday, 1912-06-01 (no time mentioned:
1913# presumably late evening, as below), and would run until "the end of
1914# the summer".  The discrepancy between municipal time and railroad
1915# time was noted.
1916
1917# From Paul Eggert (2003-07-27):
1918# Willett (1914-03) notes that DST "has been in operation ... in the
1919# City of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, for one year."
1920
1921# From Paul Eggert (2019-07-25):
1922# Pearce's book says Regina observed DST in 1914-1917.  No dates and times,
1923# unfortunately.  It also says that in 1914 Saskatoon observed DST
1924# from 1 June to 6 July, and that DST was also tried out in Davidson,
1925# Melfort, and Prince Albert.
1926
1927# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
1928# Shanks & Pottenger say that since 1970 this region has mostly been as Regina.
1929# Some western towns (e.g. Swift Current) switched from MST/MDT to CST in 1972.
1930# Other western towns (e.g. Lloydminster) are like Edmonton.
1931# Matthews and Vincent (1998) write that Denare Beach and Creighton
1932# are like Winnipeg, in violation of Saskatchewan law.
1933
1934# From W. Jones (1992-11-06):
1935# The. . .below is based on information I got from our law library, the
1936# provincial archives, and the provincial Community Services department.
1937# A precise history would require digging through newspaper archives, and
1938# since you didn't say what you wanted, I didn't bother.
1939#
1940# Saskatchewan is split by a time zone meridian (105W) and over the years
1941# the boundary became pretty ragged as communities near it reevaluated
1942# their affiliations in one direction or the other.  In 1965 a provincial
1943# referendum favoured legislating common time practices.
1944#
1945# On 15 April 1966 the Time Act (c. T-14, Revised Statutes of
1946# Saskatchewan 1978) was proclaimed, and established that the eastern
1947# part of Saskatchewan would use CST year round, that districts in
1948# northwest Saskatchewan would by default follow CST but could opt to
1949# follow Mountain Time rules (thus 1 hour difference in the winter and
1950# zero in the summer), and that districts in southwest Saskatchewan would
1951# by default follow MT but could opt to follow CST.
1952#
1953# It took a few years for the dust to settle (I know one story of a town
1954# on one time zone having its school in another, such that a mom had to
1955# serve her family lunch in two shifts), but presently it seems that only
1956# a few towns on the border with Alberta (e.g. Lloydminster) follow MT
1957# rules any more; all other districts appear to have used CST year round
1958# since sometime in the 1960s.
1959
1960# From Chris Walton (2006-06-26):
1961# The Saskatchewan time act which was last updated in 1996 is about 30 pages
1962# long and rather painful to read.

2037# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
2038# Shanks & Pottenger write that since 1970 most of this region has
2039# been like Vancouver.
2040# Dawson Creek uses MST.  Much of east BC is like Edmonton.
2041# Matthews and Vincent (1998) write that Creston is like Dawson Creek.
2042
2043# It seems though that (re: Creston) is not entirely correct:
2044
2045# From Chris Walton (2011-12-01):
2046# There are two areas within the Canadian province of British Columbia
2047# that do not currently observe daylight saving:
2048# a) The Creston Valley (includes the town of Creston and surrounding area)
2049# b) The eastern half of the Peace River Regional District
2050# (includes the cities of Dawson Creek and Fort St. John)
2051
2052# Earlier this year I stumbled across a detailed article about the time
2053# keeping history of Creston; it was written by Tammy Hardwick who is the
2054# manager of the Creston & District Museum. The article was written in May 2009.
2055# http://www.ilovecreston.com/?p=articles&t=spec&ar=260
2056# According to the article, Creston has not changed its clocks since June 1918.
2057# i.e. Creston has been stuck on UT-7 for 93 years.
2058# Dawson Creek, on the other hand, changed its clocks as recently as April 1972.
2059
2060# Unfortunately the exact date for the time change in June 1918 remains
2061# unknown and will be difficult to ascertain.  I e-mailed Tammy a few months
2062# ago to ask if Sunday June 2 was a reasonable guess.  She said it was just
2063# as plausible as any other date (in June).  She also said that after writing
2064# the article she had discovered another time change in 1916; this is the
2065# subject of another article which she wrote in October 2010.
2066# http://www.creston.museum.bc.ca/index.php?module=comments&uop=view_comment&cm+id=56
2067
2068# Here is a summary of the three clock change events in Creston's history:
2069# 1. 1884 or 1885: adoption of Mountain Standard Time (GMT-7)
2070# Exact date unknown
2071# 2. Oct 1916: switch to Pacific Standard Time (GMT-8)
2072# Exact date in October unknown; Sunday October 1 is a reasonable guess.
2073# 3. June 1918: switch to Pacific Daylight Time (GMT-7)
2074# Exact date in June unknown; Sunday June 2 is a reasonable guess.
2075# note 1:
2076# On Oct 27/1918 when daylight saving ended in the rest of Canada,
2077# Creston did not change its clocks.
2078# note 2:
2079# During WWII when the Federal Government legislated a mandatory clock change,
2080# Creston did not oblige.
2081# note 3:
2082# There is no guarantee that Creston will remain on Mountain Standard Time
2083# (UTC-7) forever.
2084# The subject was debated at least once this year by the town Council.
2085# http://www.bclocalnews.com/kootenay_rockies/crestonvalleyadvance/news/116760809.html
2086
2087# During a period WWII, summer time (Daylight saying) was mandatory in Canada.
2088# In Creston, that was handled by shifting the area to PST (-8:00) then applying
2089# summer time to cause the offset to be -7:00, the same as it had been before
2090# the change.  It can be argued that the timezone abbreviation during this
2091# period should be PDT rather than MST, but that doesn't seem important enough
2092# (to anyone) to further complicate the rules.
2093
2094# The transition dates (and times) are guesses.
2095
2096# From Matt Johnson (2015-09-21):
2097# Fort Nelson, BC, Canada will cancel DST this year.  So while previously they
2098# were aligned with America/Vancouver, they're now aligned with
2099# America/Dawson_Creek.
2100# http://www.northernrockies.ca/EN/meta/news/archives/2015/northern-rockies-time-change.html
2101#
2102# From Tim Parenti (2015-09-23):
2103# This requires a new zone for the Northern Rockies Regional Municipality,
2104# America/Fort_Nelson.  The resolution of 2014-12-08 was reached following a
2105# 2014-11-15 poll with nearly 75% support.  Effectively, the municipality has
2106# been on MST (-0700) like Dawson Creek since it advanced its clocks on
2107# 2015-03-08.
2108#
2109# From Paul Eggert (2019-07-25):
2110# Shanks says Fort Nelson did not observe DST in 1946, unlike Vancouver.
2111# Alois Triendl confirmed this on 07-22, citing the 1946-04-27 Vancouver Daily
2112# Province.  He also cited the 1946-09-28 Victoria Daily Times, which said
2113# that Vancouver, Victoria, etc. "change at midnight Saturday"; for now,
2114# guess they meant 02:00 Sunday since 02:00 was common practice in Vancouver.
2115#
2116# Early Vancouver, Volume Four, by Major J.S. Matthews, V.D., 2011 edition
2117# says that a 1922 plebiscite adopted DST, but a 1923 plebiscite rejected it.
2118# http://former.vancouver.ca/ctyclerk/archives/digitized/EarlyVan/SearchEarlyVan/Vol4pdf/MatthewsEarlyVancouverVol4_DaylightSavings.pdf
2119# A catalog entry for a newspaper clipping seems to indicate that Vancouver
2120# observed DST in 1941 from 07-07 through 09-27; see

2279# Basic Facts: The New Territory

2281# (1999) reports that Pangnirtung operates on eastern time,

2283# Pangnirtung switched to eastern time; we'll guess 1995.
2284
2285# From Rives McDow (1999-11-08):
2286# On October 31, when the rest of Nunavut went to Central time,
2287# Pangnirtung wobbled.  Here is the result of their wobble:
2288#
2289# The following businesses and organizations in Pangnirtung use Central Time:
2290#
2291#	First Air, Power Corp, Nunavut Construction, Health Center, RCMP,
2292#	Eastern Arctic National Parks, A & D Specialist
2293#
2294# The following businesses and organizations in Pangnirtung use Eastern Time:
2295#
2296#	Hamlet office, All other businesses, Both schools, Airport operator
2297#
2298# This has made for an interesting situation there, which warranted the news.
2299# No one there that I spoke with seems concerned, or has plans to
2300# change the local methods of keeping time, as it evidently does not
2301# really interfere with any activities or make things difficult locally.
2302# They plan to celebrate New Year's turn-over twice, one hour apart,
2303# so it appears that the situation will last at least that long.
2304# The Nunavut Intergovernmental Affairs hopes that they will "come to

2313# for municipal offices and schools....  Igloolik [was similar but then]
2314# made the switch to central time on Saturday, Nov. 6.
2315
2316# From Paul Eggert (2000-10-02):
2317# Matthews and Vincent (1998) say the following, but we lack histories
2318# for these potential new Zones.
2319#
2320# The Canadian Forces station at Alert uses Eastern Time while the
2321# handful of residents at the Eureka weather station [in the Central
2322# zone] skip daylight savings.  Baffin Island, which is crossed by the
2323# Central, Eastern and Atlantic Time zones only uses Eastern Time.
2324# Gjoa Haven, Taloyoak and Pelly Bay all use Mountain instead of
2325# Central Time and Southampton Island [in the Central zone] is not
2326# required to use daylight savings.
2327
2328# From <http://www.nunatsiaqonline.ca/archives/nunavut001130/nvt21110_02.html>
2329# Nunavut now has two time zones (2000-11-10):
2330# The Nunavut government would allow its employees in Kugluktuk and
2331# Cambridge Bay to operate on central time year-round, putting them
2332# one hour behind the rest of Nunavut for six months during the winter.
2333# At the end of October the two communities had rebelled against
2334# Nunavut's unified time zone, refusing to shift to eastern time with
2335# the rest of the territory for the winter.  Cambridge Bay remained on
2336# central time, while Kugluktuk, even farther west, reverted to
2337# mountain time, which they had used before the advent of Nunavut's
2338# unified time zone in 1999.
2339#
2340# From Rives McDow (2001-01-20), quoting the Nunavut government:

2357# According to ...
2358# http://www.canadiangeographic.ca/Magazine/SO98/geomap.asp
2359# (from a 1998 Canadian Geographic article), the de facto and de jure time
2360# for Southampton Island (at the north end of Hudson Bay) is UTC-5 all year
2361# round.  Using Google, it's easy to find other websites that confirm this.
2362# I wasn't able to find how far back this time regimen goes, but since it
2363# predates the creation of Nunavut, it probably goes back many years....
2364# The Inuktitut name of Coral Harbour is Sallit, but it's rarely used.
2365#
2366# From Paul Eggert (2014-10-17):
2367# For lack of better information, assume that Southampton Island observed
2368# daylight saving only during wartime.  Gwillim Law's email also
2369# mentioned maps now maintained by National Research Council Canada;
2370# see above for an up-to-date link.
2371
2372# From Chris Walton (2007-03-01):
2373# ... the community of Resolute (located on Cornwallis Island in

2375# Basically the community did not change its clocks at the end of
2376# daylight saving....

2378
2379# From Chris Walton (2011-03-21):
2380# Back in 2007 I initiated the creation of a new "zone file" for Resolute
2381# Bay. Resolute Bay is a small community located about 900km north of
2382# the Arctic Circle. The zone file was required because Resolute Bay had
2383# decided to use UTC-5 instead of UTC-6 for the winter of 2006-2007.
2384#
2385# According to new information which I received last week, Resolute Bay
2386# went back to using UTC-6 in the winter of 2007-2008...
2387#
2388# On March 11/2007 most of Canada went onto daylight saving. On March
2389# 14/2007 I phoned the Resolute Bay hamlet office to do a "time check." I
2390# talked to somebody that was both knowledgeable and helpful. I was able
2391# to confirm that Resolute Bay was still operating on UTC-5. It was
2392# explained to me that Resolute Bay had been on the Eastern Time zone
2393# (EST) in the winter, and was now back on the Central Time zone (CDT).
2394# i.e. the time zone had changed twice in the last year but the clocks
2395# had not moved. The residents had to know which time zone they were in
2396# so they could follow the correct TV schedule...
2397#
2398# On Nov 02/2008 most of Canada went onto standard time. On Nov 03/2008 I
2399# phoned the Resolute Bay hamlet office...[D]ue to the challenging nature
2400# of the phone call, I decided to seek out an alternate source of
2401# information. I found an e-mail address for somebody by the name of
2402# Stephanie Adams whose job was listed as "Inns North Support Officer for
2403# Arctic Co-operatives." I was under the impression that Stephanie lived
2404# and worked in Resolute Bay...
2405#
2406# On March 14/2011 I phoned the hamlet office again. I was told that
2407# Resolute Bay had been using Central Standard Time over the winter of
2408# 2010-2011 and that the clocks had therefore been moved one hour ahead
2409# on March 13/2011. The person I talked to was aware that Resolute Bay
2410# had previously experimented with Eastern Standard Time but he could not
2411# tell me when the practice had stopped.
2412#
2413# On March 17/2011 I searched the Web to find an e-mail address of
2414# somebody that might be able to tell me exactly when Resolute Bay went
2415# off Eastern Standard Time. I stumbled on the name "Aziz Kheraj." Aziz
2416# used to be the mayor of Resolute Bay and he apparently owns half the
2417# businesses including "South Camp Inn." This website has some info on
2418# Aziz:
2419# http://www.uphere.ca/node/493
2420#
2421# I sent Aziz an e-mail asking when Resolute Bay had stopped using
2422# Eastern Standard Time.
2423#
2424# Aziz responded quickly with this: "hi, The time was not changed for the
2425# 1 year only, the following year, the community went back to the old way
2426# of "spring ahead-fall behind" currently we are zulu plus 5 hrs and in
2427# the winter Zulu plus 6 hrs"
2428#
2429# This of course conflicted with everything I had ascertained in November 2008.
2430#
2431# I sent Aziz a copy of my 2008 e-mail exchange with Stephanie. Aziz
2432# responded with this: "Hi, Stephanie lives in Winnipeg. I live here, You
2433# may want to check with the weather office in Resolute Bay or do a
2434# search on the weather through Env. Canada. web site"
2435#
2436# If I had realized the Stephanie did not live in Resolute Bay I would
2437# never have contacted her.  I now believe that all the information I
2438# obtained in November 2008 should be ignored...
2439# I apologize for reporting incorrect information in 2008.

2441# From Tim Parenti (2020-03-05):
2442# The government of Yukon announced [yesterday] the cessation of seasonal time

2533# The Investigation and Analysis Service of the
2534# Mexican Library of Congress (MLoC) has published a
2535# history of Mexican local time (in Spanish)
2536# http://www.diputados.gob.mx/bibliot/publica/inveyana/polisoc/horver/index.htm
2537#
2538# Here are the discrepancies between Shanks & Pottenger (S&P) and the MLoC.
2539# (In all cases we go with the MLoC.)
2540# S&P report that Baja was at -8:00 in 1922/1923.
2541# S&P say the 1930 transition in Baja was 1930-11-16.
2542# S&P report no DST during summer 1931.
2543# S&P report a transition at 1932-03-30 23:00, not 1932-04-01.
2544
2545# From Gwillim Law (2001-02-20):
2546# There are some other discrepancies between the Decrees page and the
2547# tz database.  I think they can best be explained by supposing that
2548# the researchers who prepared the Decrees page failed to find some of
2549# the relevant documents.

2554#
2555# ------------- Begin Forwarded Message -------------
2556#
2557# I finally got my hands on the Official Presidential Decree that sets up the
2558# rules for the DST changes. The rules are:
2559#
2560# 1. The country is divided in 3 timezones:
2561#    - Baja California Norte (the Mexico/BajaNorte TZ)
2562#    - Baja California Sur, Nayarit, Sinaloa and Sonora (the Mexico/BajaSur TZ)
2563#    - The rest of the country (the Mexico/General TZ)
2564#
2565# 2. From the first Sunday in April at 2:00 AM to the last Sunday in October
2566#    at 2:00 AM, the times in each zone are as follows:
2567#    BajaNorte: GMT+7
2568#    BajaSur:   GMT+6
2569#    General:   GMT+5
2570#
2571# 3. The rest of the year, the times are as follows:
2572#    BajaNorte: GMT+8
2573#    BajaSur:   GMT+7
2574#    General:   GMT+6
2575#

2589# Effective April 4, 1999 at 2:00 AM local time, Sonora changed to the time

2641# that a number of northern Mexican states would go on daylight

2907# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
2908# Formerly there was an America/Ensenada zone, which differed from
2909# America/Tijuana only in that it did not observe DST from 1976
2910# through 1995.  This was as per Shanks (1999).  But Shanks & Pottenger say
2911# Ensenada did not observe DST from 1948 through 1975.  Guy Harris reports
2912# that the 1987 OAG says "Only Ensenada, Mexicali, San Felipe and
2913# Tijuana observe DST," which agrees with Shanks & Pottenger but implies that
2914# DST-observance was a town-by-town matter back then.  This concerns
2915# data after 1970 so most likely there should be at least one Zone
2916# other than America/Tijuana for Baja, but it's not clear yet what its
2917# name or contents should be.

3090# From Arthur David Olson (2008-03-09):
3091# I'm in Maryland which is now observing United States Eastern Daylight
3092# Time. At 9:44 local time I used RealPlayer to listen to
3093# http://media.enet.cu/radioreloj
3094# a Cuban information station, and heard
3095# the time announced as "ocho cuarenta y cuatro" ("eight forty-four"),
3096# indicating that Cuba is still on standard time.
3097
3098# From Steffen Thorsen (2008-03-12):
3099# It seems that Cuba will start DST on Sunday, 2007-03-16...
3100# It was announced yesterday, according to this source (in Spanish):
3101# http://www.nnc.cubaweb.cu/marzo-2008/cien-1-11-3-08.htm
3102#
3103# Some more background information is posted here:
3104# https://www.timeanddate.com/news/time/cuba-starts-dst-march-16.html
3105#
3106# The article also says that Cuba has been observing DST since 1963,
3107# while Shanks (and tzdata) has 1965 as the first date (except in the
3108# 1940's). Many other web pages in Cuba also claim that it has been
3109# observed since 1963, but with the exception of 1970 - an exception
3110# which is not present in tzdata/Shanks. So there is a chance we need to
3111# change some historic records as well.
3112#

3121# Basically as expected after Steffen Thorsen's information, the change
3122# will take place midnight between Saturday and Sunday.

3309# From Gwillim Law (2005-04-15):

3311# I searched for confirmation, and I found a press release
3312# on the Web page of the Haitian Consulate in Chicago (2005-03-31),
3313# <http://www.haitianconsulate.org/time.doc>.  Translated from French, it says:
3314#
3315#  "The Prime Minister's Communication Office notifies the public in general
3316#   and the press in particular that, following a decision of the Interior
3317#   Ministry and the Territorial Collectivities [I suppose that means the
3318#   provinces], Haiti will move to Eastern Daylight Time in the night from next
3319#   Saturday the 2nd to Sunday the 3rd.
3320#
3321#  "Consequently, the Prime Minister's Communication Office wishes to inform
3322#   the population that the country's clocks will be set forward one hour
3323#   starting at midnight.  This provision will hold until the last Saturday in
3324#   October 2005.

3326#  "Port-au-Prince, March 31, 2005"
3327#
3328# From Steffen Thorsen (2006-04-04):
3329# I have been informed by users that Haiti observes DST this year like
3330# last year, so the current "only" rule for 2005 might be changed to a
3331# "max" rule or to last until 2006. (Who knows if they will observe DST
3332# next year or if they will extend their DST like US/Canada next year).
3333#
3334# I have found this article about it (in French):

3336#
3337# The reason seems to be an energy crisis.

3343# According to several news sources, Haiti will observe DST this year,

3492# The northamerica file says that Nicaragua has been on UTC-6 continuously
