16# From Paul Eggert (1999-03-31):
17# Howse writes (pp 121-125) that time zones were invented by
18# Professor Charles Ferdinand Dowd (1825-1904),
19# Principal of Temple Grove Ladies' Seminary (Saratoga Springs, NY).
20# His pamphlet ``A System of National Time for Railroads'' (1870)
21# was the result of his proposals at the Convention of Railroad Trunk Lines
22# in New York City (1869-10).  His 1870 proposal was based on Washington, DC,
23# but in 1872-05 he moved the proposed origin to Greenwich.
24# His proposal was adopted by the railroads on 1883-11-18 at 12:00,
25# and the most of the country soon followed suit.
26
27# From Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> (1995-12-19):
28# A good source for time zone historical data in the US is
29# Thomas G. Shanks, The American Atlas (5th edition),
30# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (1991).
31# Make sure you have the errata sheet; the book is somewhat useless without it.
32# It is the source for the US and Puerto Rico entries below.
33
34# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-06):
35# Daylight Saving Time was first suggested as a joke by Benjamin Franklin
36# in his whimsical essay ``An Economical Project for Diminishing the Cost
37# of Light'' published in the Journal de Paris (1784-04-26).
38# Not everyone is happy with the results:
39#
40#	I don't really care how time is reckoned so long as there is some
41#	agreement about it, but I object to being told that I am saving
42#	daylight when my reason tells me that I am doing nothing of the kind.
43#	I even object to the implication that I am wasting something
44#	valuable if I stay in bed after the sun has risen.  As an admirer
45#	of moonlight I resent the bossy insistence of those who want to
46#	reduce my time for enjoying it.  At the back of the Daylight Saving
47#	scheme I detect the bony, blue-fingered hand of Puritanism, eager
48#	to push people into bed earlier, and get them up earlier, to make
49#	them healthy, wealthy and wise in spite of themselves.

51#	-- Robertson Davies, The Diary of Samuel Marchbanks (1947), XIX, Sunday

53# For more about the first ten years of DST in the United States, see
54# Robert Garland's <a href="http://www.clpgh.org/exhibit/dst.html">
55# Ten years of daylight saving from the Pittsburgh standpoint
56# (Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, 1927)</a>.
57#
58# Shanks says that DST was called "War Time" in the US in 1918 and 1919.
59# However, DST was imposed by the Standard Time Act of 1918, which
60# was the first nationwide legal time standard, and apparently
61# time was just called "Standard Time" or "Daylight Saving Time".
62
63# From Arthur David Olson:
64# US Daylight Saving Time ended on the last Sunday of *October* in 1974.
65# See, for example, the front page of the Saturday, 1974-10-26
66# and Sunday, 1974-10-27 editions of the Washington Post.
67
68# From Arthur David Olson:
69# Before the Uniform Time Act of 1966 took effect in 1967, observance of
70# Daylight Saving Time in the US was by local option, except during wartime.
71
72# From Arthur David Olson (2000-09-25):
73# Last night I heard part of a rebroadcast of a 1945 Arch Oboler radio drama.
74# In the introduction, Oboler spoke of "Eastern Peace Time."
75# An AltaVista search turned up
76# <a href="http://rowayton.org/rhs/hstaug45.html">:
77# "When the time is announced over the radio now, it is 'Eastern Peace
78# Time' instead of the old familiar 'Eastern War Time.'  Peace is wonderful."
79# </a> (August 1945) by way of confirmation.
80
81# From Joseph Gallant <notquite@hotmail.com>, citing
82# George H. Douglas, _The Early Days of Radio Broadcasting_ (1987):
83# At 7 P.M. (Eastern War Time) [on 1945-08-14], the networks were set
84# to switch to London for Attlee's address, but the American people
85# never got to hear his speech live. According to one press account,
86# CBS' Bob Trout was first to announce the word of Japan's surrender,
87# but a few seconds later, NBC, ABC and Mutual also flashed the word
88# of surrender, all of whom interrupting the bells of Big Ben in
89# London which were to precede Mr. Attlee's speech.
90
91# From Paul Eggert (2003-02-09): It was Robert St John, not Bob Trout.  From
92# Myrna Oliver's obituary of St John on page B16 of today's Los Angeles Times:
93#
94# ... a war-weary U.S. clung to radios, awaiting word of Japan's surrender.
95# Any announcement from Asia would reach St. John's New York newsroom on a
96# wire service teletype machine, which had prescribed signals for major news.
97# Associated Press, for example, would ring five bells before spewing out
98# typed copy of an important story, and 10 bells for news "of transcendental
99# importance."
100#
101# On Aug. 14, stalling while talking steadily into the NBC networks' open
102# microphone, St. John heard five bells and waited only to hear a sixth bell,
103# before announcing confidently: "Ladies and gentlemen, World War II is over.
104# The Japanese have agreed to our surrender terms."
105#
106# He had scored a 20-second scoop on other broadcasters.

297# Alaska
298# AK%sT is the modern abbreviation for -9:00 per USNO.
299#
300# From Paul Eggert (2001-05-30):
301# Howse writes that Alaska switched from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar,
302# and from east-of-GMT to west-of-GMT days, when the US bought it from Russia.
303# This was on 1867-10-18, a Friday; the previous day was 1867-10-06 Julian,
304# also a Friday.  Include only the time zone part of this transition,
305# ignoring the switch from Julian to Gregorian, since we can't represent
306# the Julian calendar.
307#
308# As far as we know, none of the exact locations mentioned below were
309# permanently inhabited in 1867 by anyone using either calendar.
310# (Yakutat was colonized by the Russians in 1799, but the settlement
311# was destroyed in 1805 by a Yakutat-kon war party.)  However, there
312# were nearby inhabitants in some cases and for our purposes perhaps
313# it's best to simply use the official transition.

385#
386# The information in the rest of this paragraph is derived from the
387# <a href="http://www.dlapr.lib.az.us/links/daylight.htm">
388# Daylight Saving Time web page (2002-01-23)</a> maintained by the
389# Arizona State Library, Archives and Public Records.
390# Between 1944-01-01 and 1944-04-01 the State of Arizona used standard
391# time, but by federal law railroads, airlines, bus lines, military
392# personnel, and some engaged in interstate commerce continued to
393# observe war (i.e., daylight saving) time.  The 1944-03-17 Phoenix
394# Gazette says that was the date the law changed, and that 04-01 was
395# the date the state's clocks would change.  In 1945 the State of
396# Arizona used standard time all year, again with exceptions only as
397# mandated by federal law.  Arizona observed DST in 1967, but Arizona
398# Laws 1968, ch. 183 (effective 1968-03-21) repealed DST.
399#
400# Shanks says the 1944 experiment came to an end on 1944-03-17.
401# Go with the Arizona State Library instead.

439#
440# From Paul Eggert (1995-12-19):
441# Indiana generally observes either EST all year, or CST/CDT,
442# but areas near Cincinnati and Louisville use those cities' timekeeping
443# and in 1969 and 1970 the whole state observed daylight time;
444# and there are other exceptions as noted below.
445# Shanks partitions Indiana into 345 regions, each with its own time history,
446# and writes ``Even newspaper reports present contradictory information.''
447# Fortunately, most of the complexity occurred before our cutoff date of 1970.
448#
449# Since 1970, EST-only Indiana has been like America/Indianapolis,
450# with exceptions noted below for Crawford, Starke, and Switzerland counties.
451# The parts of Indiana not listed below have been like America/Chicago,
452# America/Louisville, or America/New_York.
453#
454# Other than Indianapolis, the Indiana place names are so nondescript
455# that they would be ambiguous if we left them at the `America' level.
456# So we reluctantly put them all in a subdirectory `America/Indiana'.
457#
458# Most of EST-only Indiana last observed DST in 1970.
459
460# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-06), following a tip by Markus Kuhn:
461# Pam Belluck reported in the New York Times (2001-01-31) that the
462# Indiana Legislature is considering a bill to adopt DST statewide.
463# Her article mentioned Vevay, whose post office observes a different

610# From Paul Eggert (1999-03-31):
611# Shanks writes that Michigan started using standard time on 1885-09-18,
612# but Howse writes (pp 124-125, referring to Popular Astronomy, 1901-01)
613# that Detroit kept
614#
615#	local time until 1900 when the City Council decreed that clocks should
616#	be put back twenty-eight minutes to Central Standard Time.  Half the
617#	city obeyed, half refused.  After considerable debate, the decision
618#	was rescinded and the city reverted to Sun time.  A derisive offer to
619#	erect a sundial in front of the city hall was referred to the
620#	Committee on Sewers.  Then, in 1905, Central time was adopted
621#	by city vote.
622#
623# This story is too entertaining to be false, so go with Howse over Shanks.
624#
625# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-06):
626# Garland (1927) writes ``Cleveland and Detroit advanced their clocks

904# Ontario, Quebec
905
906# From Paul Eggert (1996-06-12):
907# Shanks writes that since 1970 most of Ontario has been like Toronto,
908# and most of Quebec has been like Montreal.
909# Thunder Bay skipped DST in 1973.
910# Many smaller locales did not observe peacetime DST until 1974;
911# Nipigon (EST) and Rainy River (CST) are the largest that we know of.
912# Far west Ontario is like Winnipeg; far east Quebec is like Halifax.
913
914# From Mark Brader (2003-07-26):
915# [According to the Toronto Star] Orillia, Ontario, adopted DST
916# effective Saturday, 1912-06-22, 22:00; the article mentions that
917# Port Arthur (now part of Thunder Bay, Ontario) as well as Moose Jaw
918# have already done so.  In Orillia DST was to run until Saturday,
919# 1912-08-31 (no time mentioned), but it was met with considerable
920# hostility from certain segments of the public, and was revoked after
921# only two weeks -- I copied it as Saturday, 1912-07-07, 22:00, but
922# presumably that should be -07-06.  (1912-06-19, -07-12; also letters
923# earlier in June).
924#
925# Kenora, Ontario, was to abandon DST on 1914-06-01 (-05-21).
926
927# From Paul Eggert (1997-10-17):
928# Mark Brader writes that an article in the 1997-10-14 Toronto Star
929# says that Atikokan, Ontario currently does not observe DST,
930# but will vote on 11-10 whether to use EST/EDT.
931# He also writes that the
932# <a href="http://www.gov.on.ca/MBS/english/publications/statregs/conttext.html">
933# Ontario Time Act (1990, Chapter T.9)
934# </a>
935# says that Ontario east of 90W uses EST/EDT, and west of 90W uses CST/CDT.
936# Officially Atikokan is therefore on CST/CDT, and most likely this report
937# concerns a non-official time observed as a matter of local practice.
938# For what it's worth, Shanks says that Atikokan has agreed with
939# Rainy River ever since standard time was introduced.
940
941# From Paul Eggert (2000-10-02):
942# Matthews and Vincent (1998) write that Atikokan, Pickle Lake, and
943# New Osnaburgh observe CST all year, that Big Trout Lake observes
944# CST/CDT, and that Upsala and Shebandowan observe EST/EDT, all in
945# violation of the official Ontario rules.
946# They also write that Quebec east of the -63 meridian is supposed to
947# observe AST, but residents as far east as Natashquan use EST/EDT,
948# and residents east of Natashquan use AST.
949# We probably need Zones for far east Quebec and for Atikokan,
950# but we don't know when their practices started.

1103# Saskatchewan
1104
1105# From Mark Brader (2003-07-26):
1106# The first actual adoption of DST in Canada was at the municipal
1107# level.  As the [Toronto] Star put it (1912-06-07), "While people
1108# elsewhere have long been talking of legislation to save daylight,
1109# the city of Moose Jaw [Saskatchewan] has acted on its own hook."
1110# DST in Moose Jaw began on Saturday, 1912-06-01 (no time mentioned:
1111# presumably late evening, as below), and would run until "the end of
1112# the summer".  The discrepancy between municipal time and railroad
1113# time was noted.
1114
1115# From Paul Eggert (2003-07-27):
1116# Willett (1914-03) notes that DST "has been in operation ... in the
1117# City of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, for one year."
1118
1119# From Paul Eggert (2000-10-02):
1120# Shanks writes that since 1970 most of this region has been like Regina.
1121# Some western towns (e.g. Swift Current) switched from MST/MDT to CST in 1972.
1122# Other western towns (e.g. Lloydminster) are like Edmonton.
1123# Matthews and Vincent (1998) write that Denare Beach and Creighton
1124# are like Winnipeg, in violation of Saskatchewan law.
1125
1126# From W. Jones <jones@skdad.usask.ca> (1992-11-06):
1127# The. . .below is based on information I got from our law library, the
1128# provincial archives, and the provincial Community Services department.
1129# A precise history would require digging through newspaper archives, and
1130# since you didn't say what you wanted, I didn't bother.
1131#
1132# Saskatchewan is split by a time zone meridian (105W) and over the years
1133# the boundary became pretty ragged as communities near it reevaluated
1134# their affiliations in one direction or the other.  In 1965 a provincial
1135# referendum favoured legislating common time practices.
1136#
1137# On 15 April 1966 the Time Act (c. T-14, Revised Statutes of
1138# Saskatchewan 1978) was proclaimed, and established that the eastern
1139# part of Saskatchewan would use CST year round, that districts in
1140# northwest Saskatchewan would by default follow CST but could opt to
1141# follow Mountain Time rules (thus 1 hour difference in the winter and
1142# zero in the summer), and that districts in southwest Saskatchewan would
1143# by default follow MT but could opt to follow CST.
1144#
1145# It took a few years for the dust to settle (I know one story of a town
1146# on one time zone having its school in another, such that a mom had to
1147# serve her family lunch in two shifts), but presently it seems that only
1148# a few towns on the border with Alberta (e.g. Lloydminster) follow MT
1149# rules any more; all other districts appear to have used CST year round
1150# since sometime in the 1960s.

1289# They plan to celebrate New Year's turn-over twice, one hour apart,

1395# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-05):
1396# The Investigation and Analysis Service of the
1397# Mexican Library of Congress (MLoC) has published a
1398# <a href="http://www.cddhcu.gob.mx/bibliot/publica/inveyana/polisoc/horver/">
1399# history of Mexican local time (in Spanish)
1400# </a>.
1401#
1402# Here are the discrepancies between Shanks and the MLoC.
1403# (In all cases we go with the MLoC.)
1404# Shanks reports that Baja was at -8:00 in 1922/1923.
1405# Shanks says the 1930 transition in Baja was 1930-11-16.
1406# Shanks reports no DST during summer 1931.
1407# Shanks reports a transition at 1032-03-30 23:00, not 1932-04-01.
1408# Shanks does not report transitions for Baja in 1945 or 1948.
1409# Shanks reports southern Mexico transitions on 1981-12-01, not 12-23.
1410# Shanks says Quintana Roo switched to -6:00 on 1982-12-02, and to -5:00
1411# on 1997-10-26 at 02:00.
1412
1413# From Gwillim Law (2001-02-20):
1414# There are some other discrepancies between the Decrees page and the
1415# tz database.  I think they can best be explained by supposing that
1416# the researchers who prepared the Decrees page failed to find some of
1417# the relevant documents.
1418
1419# From Paul Eggert (2000-07-26):
1420# Shanks gives 1942-04-01 instead of 1942-04-24, and omits the 1981
1421# and 1988 DST experiments.  Go with spin.com.mx.
1422
1423# From Alan Perry <alan.perry@eng.sun.com> (1996-02-15):
1424# A guy from our Mexico subsidiary finally found the Presidential Decree
1425# outlining the timezone changes in Mexico.
1426#
1427# ------------- Begin Forwarded Message -------------
1428#
1429# I finally got my hands on the Official Presidential Decree that sets up the
1430# rules for the DST changes. The rules are:
1431#
1432# 1. The country is divided in 3 timezones:
1433#    - Baja California Norte (the Mexico/BajaNorte TZ)
1434#    - Baja California Sur, Nayarit, Sinaloa and Sonora (the Mexico/BajaSur TZ)
1435#    - The rest of the country (the Mexico/General TZ)
1436#
1437# 2. From the first Sunday in April at 2:00 AM to the last Sunday in October
1438#    at 2:00 AM, the times in each zone are as follows:
1439#    BajaNorte: GMT+7
1440#    BajaSur:   GMT+6
1441#    General:   GMT+5
1442#
1443# 3. The rest of the year, the times are as follows:
1444#    BajaNorte: GMT+8
1445#    BajaSur:   GMT+7
1446#    General:   GMT+6
1447#
1448# The Decree was published in Mexico's Official Newspaper on January 4th.

1457# From Rives McDow (1998-10-08):
1458# The State of Quintana Roo has reverted back to central STD and DST times
1459# (i.e. UTC -0600 and -0500 as of 1998-08-02).
1460
1461# From Rives McDow (2000-01-10):
1462# Effective April 4, 1999 at 2:00 AM local time, Sonora changed to the time
1463# zone 5 hours from the International Date Line, and will not observe daylight
1464# savings time so as to stay on the same time zone as the southern part of
1465# Arizona year round.
1466
1467# From Jesper Norgaard, translating
1468# <http://www.reforma.com/nacional/articulo/064327/> (2001-01-17):
1469# In Oaxaca, the 55.000 teachers from the Section 22 of the National
1470# Syndicate of Education Workers, refuse to apply daylight saving each
1471# year, so that the more than 10,000 schools work at normal hour the
1472# whole year.

1474# From Gwillim Law (2001-01-19):
1475# <http://www.reforma.com/negocios_y_dinero/articulo/064481/> ... says
1476# (translated):...
1477# January 17, 2000 - The Energy Secretary, Ernesto Martens, announced

1484# From Arthur David Olson (2001-01-25):
1485# The 2001-01-24 traditional Washington Post contained the page one
1486# story "Timely Issue Divides Mexicans."...
1487# http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A37383-2001Jan23.html
1488# ... Mexico City Mayor Lopez Obrador "...is threatening to keep
1489# Mexico City and its 20 million residents on a different time than

1492
1493# <a href="http://www.conae.gob.mx/ahorro/decretohorver2001.html#decre">
1494# Official statute published by the Energy Department
1495# </a> (2001-02-01) shows Baja and Chihauhua as still using US DST rules,
1496# and Sonora with no DST.  This was reported by Jesper Norgaard (2001-02-03).
1497
1498# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-03):
1499#
1500# <a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/nation/20010303/t000018766.html">
1501# James F. Smith writes in today's LA Times
1502# </a>
1503# * Sonora will continue to observe standard time.
1504# * Last week Mexico City's mayor Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador decreed that
1505#   the Federal District will not adopt DST.
1506# * 4 of 16 district leaders announced they'll ignore the decree.
1507# * The decree does not affect federal-controlled facilities including
1508#   the airport, banks, hospitals, and schools.
1509#
1510# For now we'll assume that the Federal District will bow to federal rules.
1511
1512# From Jesper Norgaard (2001-04-01):
1513# I found some references to the Mexican application of daylight
1514# saving, which modifies what I had already sent you, stating earlier
1515# that a number of northern Mexican states would go on daylight
1516# saving. The modification reverts this to only cover Baja California
1517# (Norte), while all other states (except Sonora, who has no daylight
1518# saving all year) will follow the original decree of president
1519# Vicente Fox, starting daylight saving May 6, 2001 and ending
1520# September 30, 2001.

1523
1524# From Reuters (2001-09-04):
1525# Mexico's Supreme Court on Tuesday declared that daylight savings was
1526# unconstitutional in Mexico City, creating the possibility the
1527# capital will be in a different time zone from the rest of the nation
1528# next year....  The Supreme Court's ruling takes effect at 2:00
1529# a.m. (0800 GMT) on Sept. 30, when Mexico is scheduled to revert to
1530# standard time. "This is so residents of the Federal District are not
1531# subject to unexpected time changes," a statement from the court said.
1532
1533# From Jesper Norgaard Welen (2002-03-12):
1534# ... consulting my local grocery store(!) and my coworkers, they all insisted
1535# that a new decision had been made to reinstate US style DST in Mexico....
1536# http://www.conae.gob.mx/ahorro/horaver2001_m1_2002.html (2002-02-20)
1537# confirms this.  Sonora as usual is the only state where DST is not applied.

1632# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-05):
1633# Formerly there was an America/Ensenada zone, which differed from
1634# America/Tijuana only in that it did not observe DST from 1976
1635# through 1995.  This was as per Shanks.  However, Guy Harris reports
1636# that the 1987 OAG says "Only Ensenada, Mexicale, San Felipe and
1637# Tijuana observe DST," which contradicts Shanks but does imply that
1638# DST-observance was a town-by-town matter back then.  This concerns
1639# data after 1970 so most likely there should be at least one Zone
1640# other than America/Tijuana for Baja, but it's not clear yet what its
1641# name or contents should be.

1723# From Arthur David Olson (1999-03-29):
1724# The 1999-03-28 exhibition baseball game held in Havana, Cuba, between
1725# the Cuban National Team and the Baltimore Orioles was carried live on
1726# the Orioles Radio Network, including affiliate WTOP in Washington, DC.
1727# During the game, play-by-play announcer Jim Hunter noted that
1728# "We'll be losing two hours of sleep...Cuba switched to Daylight Saving
1729# Time today."  (The "two hour" remark referred to losing one hour of
1730# sleep on 1999-03-28--when the announcers were in Cuba as it switched
1731# to DST--and one more hour on 1999-04-04--when the announcers will have
1732# returned to Baltimore, which switches on that date.)
