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

90#
91# Shanks says that DST was called "War Time" in the US in 1918 and 1919.
92# However, DST was imposed by the Standard Time Act of 1918, which
93# was the first nationwide legal time standard, and apparently
94# time was just called "Standard Time" or "Daylight Saving Time".
95
96# From Paul Eggert (2019-06-04):
97# Here is the legal basis for the US federal rules.
98# * Public Law 65-106 (1918-03-19) implemented standard and daylight saving
99#   time for the first time across the US, springing forward on March's last
100#   Sunday and falling back on October's last Sunday.
101#   https://www.loc.gov/law/help/statutes-at-large/65th-congress/session-2/c65s2ch24.pdf
102# * Public Law 66-40 (1919-08-20) repealed DST on October 1919's last Sunday.
103#   https://www.loc.gov/law/help/statutes-at-large/66th-congress/session-1/c66s1ch51.pdf
104# * Public Law 77-403 (1942-01-20) started wartime DST on 1942-02-09.
105#   https://www.loc.gov/law/help/statutes-at-large/77th-congress/session-2/c77s2ch7.pdf
106# * Public Law 79-187 (1945-09-25) ended wartime DST on 1945-09-30.
107#   https://www.loc.gov/law/help/statutes-at-large/79th-congress/session-1/c79s1ch388.pdf
108# * Public Law 89-387 (1966-04-13) reinstituted a national standard for DST,
109#   from April's last Sunday to October's last Sunday, effective 1967.
110#   https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/STATUTE-80/pdf/STATUTE-80-Pg107.pdf
111# * Public Law 93-182 (1973-12-15) moved the 1974 spring-forward to 01-06.
112#   https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/STATUTE-87/pdf/STATUTE-87-Pg707.pdf
113# * Public Law 93-434 (1974-10-05) moved the 1975 spring-forward to
114#   February's last Sunday.
115#   https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/STATUTE-88/pdf/STATUTE-88-Pg1209.pdf
116# * Public Law 99-359 (1986-07-08) moved the spring-forward to April's first

119# * Public Law 109-58 (2005-08-08), effective 2007, moved the spring-forward

122# All transitions are at 02:00 local time.
123
124# From Arthur David Olson:
125# Before the Uniform Time Act of 1966 took effect in 1967, observance of
126# Daylight Saving Time in the US was by local option, except during wartime.
127
128# From Arthur David Olson (2000-09-25):
129# Last night I heard part of a rebroadcast of a 1945 Arch Oboler radio drama.
130# In the introduction, Oboler spoke of "Eastern Peace Time."
131# An AltaVista search turned up:
132# https://web.archive.org/web/20000926032210/http://rowayton.org/rhs/hstaug45.html
133# "When the time is announced over the radio now, it is 'Eastern Peace
134# Time' instead of the old familiar 'Eastern War Time.'  Peace is wonderful."
135# (August 1945) by way of confirmation.
136#
137# From Paul Eggert (2017-09-23):
138# This was the V-J Day issue of the Clamdigger, a Rowayton, CT newsletter.
139
140# From Joseph Gallant citing
141# George H. Douglas, _The Early Days of Radio Broadcasting_ (1987):
142# At 7 P.M. (Eastern War Time) [on 1945-08-14], the networks were set
143# to switch to London for Attlee's address, but the American people
144# never got to hear his speech live. According to one press account,
145# CBS' Bob Trout was first to announce the word of Japan's surrender,
146# but a few seconds later, NBC, ABC and Mutual also flashed the word
147# of surrender, all of whom interrupting the bells of Big Ben in
148# London which were to precede Mr. Attlee's speech.
149
150# From Paul Eggert (2003-02-09): It was Robert St John, not Bob Trout.  From
151# Myrna Oliver's obituary of St John on page B16 of today's Los Angeles Times:
152#
153# ... a war-weary U.S. clung to radios, awaiting word of Japan's surrender.
154# Any announcement from Asia would reach St. John's New York newsroom on a
155# wire service teletype machine, which had prescribed signals for major news.
156# Associated Press, for example, would ring five bells before spewing out
157# typed copy of an important story, and 10 bells for news "of transcendental
158# importance."
159#
160# On Aug. 14, stalling while talking steadily into the NBC networks' open
161# microphone, St. John heard five bells and waited only to hear a sixth bell,
162# before announcing confidently: "Ladies and gentlemen, World War II is over.
163# The Japanese have agreed to our surrender terms."
164#
165# He had scored a 20-second scoop on other broadcasters.
166
167# From Arthur David Olson (2005-08-22):
168# Paul has been careful to use the "US" rules only in those locations
169# that are part of the United States; this reflects the real scope of
170# U.S. government action.  So even though the "US" rules have changed
171# in the latest release, other countries won't be affected.

268# Although the 1918 names were officially "United States Standard

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

757# Hawaii
758
759# From Arthur David Olson (2010-12-09):
760# "Hawaiian Time" by Robert C. Schmitt and Doak C. Cox appears on pages 207-225
761# of volume 26 of The Hawaiian Journal of History (1992). As of 2010-12-09,
762# the article is available at
763# https://evols.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/bitstream/10524/239/2/JL26215.pdf
764# and indicates that standard time was adopted effective noon, January
765# 13, 1896 (page 218), that in "1933, the Legislature decreed daylight
766# saving for the period between the last Sunday of each April and the
767# last Sunday of each September, but less than a month later repealed the
768# act," (page 220), that year-round daylight saving time was in effect
769# from 1942-02-09 to 1945-09-30 (page 221, with no time of day given for
770# when clocks changed) and that clocks were changed by 30 minutes
771# effective the second Sunday of June, 1947 (page 219, with no time of
772# day given for when clocks changed). A footnote for the 1933 changes
773# cites Session Laws of Hawaii 1933, "Act. 90 (approved 26 Apr. 1933)
774# and Act 163 (approved 21 May 1933)."
775
776# From Arthur David Olson (2011-01-19):
777# The following is from "Laws of the Territory of Hawaii Passed by the
778# Seventeenth Legislature: Regular Session 1933," available (as of
779# 2011-01-19) at American University's Pence Law Library. Page 85: "Act
780# 90...At 2 o'clock ante meridian of the last Sunday in April of each
781# year, the standard time of this Territory shall be advanced one
782# hour...This Act shall take effect upon its approval. Approved this 26th
783# day of April, A. D. 1933. LAWRENCE M JUDD, Governor of the Territory of
784# Hawaii." Page 172: "Act 163...Act 90 of the Session Laws of 1933 is
785# hereby repealed...This Act shall take effect upon its approval, upon
786# which date the standard time of this Territory shall be restored to
787# that existing immediately prior to the taking effect of said Act 90.
788# Approved this 21st day of May, A. D. 1933. LAWRENCE M. JUDD, Governor
789# of the Territory of Hawaii."
790#
791# Note that 1933-05-21 was a Sunday.
792# We're left to guess the time of day when Act 163 was approved; guess noon.

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

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

879# From Paul Eggert (2007-08-17):
880# Since 1970, most of Indiana has been like America/Indiana/Indianapolis,
881# with the following exceptions:
882#
883# - Gibson, Jasper, Lake, LaPorte, Newton, Porter, Posey, Spencer,
884#   Vanderburgh, and Warrick counties have been like America/Chicago.
885#
886# - Dearborn and Ohio counties have been like America/New_York.
887#
888# - Clark, Floyd, and Harrison counties have been like
889#   America/Kentucky/Louisville.
890#
891# - Crawford, Daviess, Dubois, Knox, Martin, Perry, Pike, Pulaski, Starke,
892#   and Switzerland counties have their own time zone histories as noted below.
893#
894# Shanks partitioned Indiana into 345 regions, each with its own time history,
895# and wrote "Even newspaper reports present contradictory information."
896# Those Hoosiers!  Such a flighty and changeable people!
897# Fortunately, most of the complexity occurred before our cutoff date of 1970.
898#
899# Other than Indianapolis, the Indiana place names are so nondescript
900# that they would be ambiguous if we left them at the 'America' level.
901# So we reluctantly put them all in a subdirectory 'America/Indiana'.

904# https://www.federalregister.gov/articles/2006/01/20/06-563/standard-time-zone-boundary-in-the-state-of-indiana
905# says "DOT is relocating the time zone boundary in Indiana to move Starke,
906# Pulaski, Knox, Daviess, Martin, Pike, Dubois, and Perry Counties from the

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

1061# From Paul Eggert (2018-03-20):
1062# The Louisville & Nashville Railroad's 1883-11-18 change occurred at
1063# 10:00 old local time; train were supposed to come to a standstill
1064# for precisely 18 minutes.  See Bartky Fig. 1 (page 50).  It is not
1065# clear how this matched civil time in Louisville, so for now continue
1066# to assume Louisville switched at noon new local time, like New York.
1067#
1068# From Michael Deckers (2019-08-06):
1069# From the contemporary source given by Alois Treindl,
1070# the switch in Louisville on 1946-04-28 was on 00:01
1071# From Paul Eggert (2019-08-26):
1072# That source was the Louisville Courier-Journal, 1946-04-27, p 4.
1073# Shanks gives 02:00 for all 20th-century transition times in Louisville.
1074# Evidently this is wrong for spring 1946.  Although also likely wrong

1101#
1102# From Lake Cumberland LIFE
1103# http://www.lake-cumberland.com/life/archive/news990129time.shtml
1104# (1999-01-29) via WKYM-101.7:
1105# Clinton County has joined Wayne County in asking the DoT to change from
1106# the Central to the Eastern time zone....  The Wayne County government made
1107# the same request in December.  And while Russell County officials have not
1108# taken action, the majority of respondents to a poll conducted there in
1109# August indicated they would like to change to "fast time" also.
1110# The three Lake Cumberland counties are the farthest east of any U.S.
1111# location in the Central time zone.
1112#
1113# From Rich Wales (2000-08-29):
1114# After prolonged debate, and despite continuing deep differences of opinion,
1115# Wayne County (central Kentucky) is switching from Central (-0600) to Eastern
1116# (-0500) time.  They won't "fall back" this year.  See Sara Shipley,
1117# The difference an hour makes, Nando Times (2000-08-29 15:33 -0400).
1118#
1119# From Paul Eggert (2001-07-16):
1120# The final rule was published in the
1121# Federal Register 65, 160 (2000-08-17), pp 50154-50158.

1131# From Rives McDow (2000-08-30):
1132# Here ... are all the changes in the US since 1985.
1133# Kearny County, KS (put all of county on central;
1134#	previously split between MST and CST) ... 1990-10
1135# Starke County, IN (from CST to EST) ... 1991-10
1136# Oliver County, ND (from MST to CST) ... 1992-10
1137# West Wendover, NV (from PST TO MST) ... 1999-10
1138# Wayne County, KY (from CST to EST) ... 2000-10
1139#
1140# From Paul Eggert (2001-07-17):
1141# We don't know where the line used to be within Kearny County, KS,
1142# so omit that change for now.
1143# See America/Indiana/Knox for the Starke County, IN change.
1144# See America/North_Dakota/Center for the Oliver County, ND change.
1145# West Wendover, NV officially switched from Pacific to mountain time on
1146# 1999-10-31.  See the
1147# Federal Register 64, 203 (1999-10-21), pp 56705-56707.
1148# https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-1999-10-21/html/99-27240.htm
1149# However, the Federal Register says that West Wendover already operated
1150# on mountain time, and the rule merely made this official;
1151# hence a separate tz entry is not needed.
1152
1153# Michigan
1154#
1155# From Bob Devine (1988-01-28):
1156# Michigan didn't observe DST from 1968 to 1973.
1157#
1158# From Paul Eggert (1999-03-31):
1159# Shanks writes that Michigan started using standard time on 1885-09-18,
1160# but Howse writes (pp 124-125, referring to Popular Astronomy, 1901-01)
1161# that Detroit kept
1162#
1163#	local time until 1900 when the City Council decreed that clocks should
1164#	be put back twenty-eight minutes to Central Standard Time.  Half the
1165#	city obeyed, half refused.  After considerable debate, the decision
1166#	was rescinded and the city reverted to Sun time.  A derisive offer to
1167#	erect a sundial in front of the city hall was referred to the
1168#	Committee on Sewers.  Then, in 1905, Central time was adopted
1169#	by city vote.
1170#
1171# This story is too entertaining to be false, so go with Howse over Shanks.
1172#
1173# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-06):
1174# Garland (1927) writes "Cleveland and Detroit advanced their clocks
1175# one hour in 1914."  This change is not in Shanks.  We have no more
1176# info, so omit this for now.
1177#
1178# From Paul Eggert (2019-07-06):
1179# Due to a complicated set of legal maneuvers, in 1967 Michigan did
1180# not start daylight saving time when the rest of the US did.
1181# Instead, it began DST on Jun 14 at 00:01.  This was big news:
1182# the Detroit Free Press reported it at the top of Page 1 on
1183# 1967-06-14, in an article "State Adjusting to Switch to Fast Time"
1184# by Gary Blonston, above an article about Thurgood Marshall's
1185# confirmation to the US Supreme Court.  Although Shanks says Detroit
1186# observed DST until 1967-10-29 00:01, that time of day seems to be
1187# incorrect, as the Free Press later said DST ended in Michigan at the
1188# same time as the rest of the US.  Also, although Shanks reports no DST in
1189# Detroit in 1968, it did observe DST that year; in the November 1968
1190# election Michigan voters narrowly repealed DST, effective 1969.
1191#
1192# Most of Michigan observed DST from 1973 on, but was a bit late in 1975.

1371# '... The daylight saving scheme was dropped all over Canada at the same time,'
1372# These statements refer to a transition from daylight time to standard time

1481# From Brian Inglis (2015-07-20):
1482# From the historical weather station records available at:
1483# https://weatherspark.com/history/28351/1971/Sydney-Nova-Scotia-Canada
1484# Sydney shares the same time history as Glace Bay, so was
1485# likely to be the same across the island....
1486# Sydney, as the capital and most populous location, or Cape Breton, would
1487# have been better names for the zone had we known this in 1996.
1488
1489# From Paul Eggert (2015-07-20):
1490# Shanks & Pottenger write that since 1970 most of this region has been like
1491# Halifax.  Many locales did not observe peacetime DST until 1972;
1492# the Cape Breton area, represented by Glace Bay, is the largest we know of
1493# (Glace Bay was perhaps not the best name choice but no point changing now).
1494# Shanks & Pottenger also write that Liverpool, NS was the only town
1495# in Canada to observe DST in 1971 but not 1970; for now we'll assume
1496# this is a typo.
1497
1498# From Jeffery Nichols (2020-01-09):
1499# America/Halifax ... also applies to Îles-de-la-Madeleine and the Listuguj
1500# reserve in Quebec. Officially, this came into effect on January 1, 2007
1501# (Legal Time Act, CQLR c T-5.1), but the legislative debates surrounding that
1502# bill say that it is "accommodating the customs and practices" of those
1503# regions, which suggests that they have always been in-line with Halifax.

1606# [According to the Toronto Star] Orillia, Ontario, adopted DST
1607# effective Saturday, 1912-06-22, 22:00; the article mentions that
1608# Port Arthur (now part of Thunder Bay, Ontario) as well as Moose Jaw
1609# have already done so.  In Orillia DST was to run until Saturday,
1610# 1912-08-31 (no time mentioned), but it was met with considerable
1611# hostility from certain segments of the public, and was revoked after
1612# only two weeks - I copied it as Saturday, 1912-07-07, 22:00, but
1613# presumably that should be -07-06.  (1912-06-19, -07-12; also letters

1624#
1625# In the (Toronto) Globe and Mail for Saturday, 1955-09-24, in the bottom
1626# right corner of page 1, it says that Toronto will return to standard
1627# time at 2 am Sunday morning (which agrees with the database), and that:
1628#
1629#     The one-hour setback will go into effect throughout most of Ontario,
1630#     except in areas like Windsor which remains on standard time all year.
1631#
1632# ... I don't know if Windsor began observing DST when Detroit did,
1633# or in 1974, or on some other date.
1634#
1635# By the way, the article continues by noting that:
1636#
1637#     Some cities in the United States have pushed the deadline back
1638#     three weeks and will change over from daylight saving in October.

1650#   A list of the places in Canada using daylight saving time would
1651# require yearly revision. From information kindly furnished by
1652# the provincial governments and by the postmasters in many cities
1653# and towns, it is found that the following places used daylight sav-
1654# ing in 1930. The information for the province of Quebec is definite,
1655# for the other provinces only approximate:
1656#
1657#	Province	Daylight saving time used
1658# Prince Edward Island	Not used.
1659# Nova Scotia		In Halifax only.
1660# New Brunswick		In St. John only.

1669#			Longueuil	Greenfield Park
1670#			Arvida		Waterloo
1671#			Chambly-Canton	Beaulieu
1672#			Melbourne	La Tuque
1673#			St. Théophile	Buckingham
1674# Ontario		Used generally in the cities and towns along

1676#			used in the northwesterly part.
1677# Manitoba		Not used.
1678# Saskatchewan		In Regina only.
1679# Alberta		Not used.
1680# British Columbia	Not used.
1681#
1682#   With some exceptions, the use of daylight saving may be said to be limited
1683# to those cities and towns lying between Quebec city and Windsor, Ont.

1730# the old Manitoba Time Act - as amended by Bill 2, assented to
1731# March 27, 1987 ... said ...
1732# "between two o'clock Central Standard Time in the morning of

1734# Standard Time in the morning of the last Sunday of October next

1736# I believe that the English legislation [of the old time act] had

1738# Also, as far as I can tell, there was no order-in-council varying
1739# the time of Daylight Saving Time for 2005 and so the provisions of

1779# Saskatchewan
1780
1781# From Mark Brader (2003-07-26):
1782# The first actual adoption of DST in Canada was at the municipal
1783# level.  As the [Toronto] Star put it (1912-06-07), "While people
1784# elsewhere have long been talking of legislation to save daylight,
1785# the city of Moose Jaw [Saskatchewan] has acted on its own hook."
1786# DST in Moose Jaw began on Saturday, 1912-06-01 (no time mentioned:
1787# presumably late evening, as below), and would run until "the end of
1788# the summer".  The discrepancy between municipal time and railroad
1789# time was noted.
1790
1791# From Paul Eggert (2003-07-27):
1792# Willett (1914-03) notes that DST "has been in operation ... in the
1793# City of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, for one year."
1794
1795# From Paul Eggert (2019-07-25):
1796# Pearce's book says Regina observed DST in 1914-1917.  No dates and times,
1797# unfortunately.  It also says that in 1914 Saskatoon observed DST
1798# from 1 June to 6 July, and that DST was also tried out in Davidson,
1799# Melfort, and Prince Albert.
1800
1801# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
1802# Shanks & Pottenger say that since 1970 this region has mostly been as Regina.
1803# Some western towns (e.g. Swift Current) switched from MST/MDT to CST in 1972.
1804# Other western towns (e.g. Lloydminster) are like Edmonton.
1805# Matthews and Vincent (1998) write that Denare Beach and Creighton
1806# are like Winnipeg, in violation of Saskatchewan law.
1807
1808# From W. Jones (1992-11-06):
1809# The. . .below is based on information I got from our law library, the
1810# provincial archives, and the provincial Community Services department.
1811# A precise history would require digging through newspaper archives, and
1812# since you didn't say what you wanted, I didn't bother.
1813#
1814# Saskatchewan is split by a time zone meridian (105W) and over the years
1815# the boundary became pretty ragged as communities near it reevaluated
1816# their affiliations in one direction or the other.  In 1965 a provincial
1817# referendum favoured legislating common time practices.
1818#
1819# On 15 April 1966 the Time Act (c. T-14, Revised Statutes of
1820# Saskatchewan 1978) was proclaimed, and established that the eastern
1821# part of Saskatchewan would use CST year round, that districts in
1822# northwest Saskatchewan would by default follow CST but could opt to
1823# follow Mountain Time rules (thus 1 hour difference in the winter and
1824# zero in the summer), and that districts in southwest Saskatchewan would
1825# by default follow MT but could opt to follow CST.
1826#
1827# It took a few years for the dust to settle (I know one story of a town
1828# on one time zone having its school in another, such that a mom had to
1829# serve her family lunch in two shifts), but presently it seems that only
1830# a few towns on the border with Alberta (e.g. Lloydminster) follow MT
1831# rules any more; all other districts appear to have used CST year round
1832# since sometime in the 1960s.
1833
1834# From Chris Walton (2006-06-26):
1835# The Saskatchewan time act which was last updated in 1996 is about 30 pages
1836# long and rather painful to read.

2014# From Brian Inglis (2015-04-14):
2015#
2016# I tried to trace the history of Yukon time and found the following
2017# regulations, giving the reference title and URL if found, regulation name,
2018# and relevant quote if available.  Each regulation specifically revokes its
2019# predecessor.  The final reference is to the current Interpretation Act
2020# authorizing and resulting from these regulatory changes.
2021#
2022# Only recent regulations were retrievable via Yukon government site search or
2023# index, and only some via Canadian legal sources.  Other sources used include
2024# articles titled "Standard Time and Time Zones in Canada" from JRASC via ADS
2025# Abstracts, cited by ADO for 1932 ..., and updated versions from 1958 and
2026# 1970 quoted below; each article includes current extracts from provincial
2027# and territorial ST and DST regulations at the end, summaries and details of
2028# standard times and daylight saving time at many locations across Canada,
2029# with time zone maps, tables and calculations for Canadian Sunrise, Sunset,
2030# and LMST; they also cover many countries and global locations, with a chart
2031# and table showing current Universal Time offsets, and may be useful as
2032# another source of information for 1970 and earlier.

2136# (1999) reports that ... Coral Harbour does not observe DST.
2137
2138# From Paul Eggert (2000-10-02):
2139# Matthews and Vincent (1998) say the following, but we lack histories
2140# for these potential new Zones.
2141#
2142# The Canadian Forces station at Alert uses Eastern Time while the
2143# handful of residents at the Eureka weather station [in the Central
2144# zone] skip daylight savings.  Baffin Island, which is crossed by the
2145# Central, Eastern and Atlantic Time zones only uses Eastern Time.
2146# Gjoa Haven, Taloyoak and Pelly Bay all use Mountain instead of
2147# Central Time and Southampton Island [in the Central zone] is not
2148# required to use daylight savings.
2149
2150# From <http://www.nunatsiaqonline.ca/archives/nunavut001130/nvt21110_02.html>
2151# Nunavut now has two time zones (2000-11-10):
2152# The Nunavut government would allow its employees in Kugluktuk and
2153# Cambridge Bay to operate on central time year-round, putting them
2154# one hour behind the rest of Nunavut for six months during the winter.
2155# At the end of October the two communities had rebelled against
2156# Nunavut's unified time zone, refusing to shift to eastern time with
2157# the rest of the territory for the winter.  Cambridge Bay remained on
2158# central time, while Kugluktuk, even farther west, reverted to
2159# mountain time, which they had used before the advent of Nunavut's
2160# unified time zone in 1999.
2161#
2162# From Rives McDow (2001-01-20), quoting the Nunavut government:
2163# The preceding decision came into effect at midnight, Saturday Nov 4, 2000.
2164
2165# From Paul Eggert (2000-12-04):
2166# Let's just keep track of the official times for now.
2167
2168# From Rives McDow (2001-03-07):
2169# The premier of Nunavut has issued a ministerial statement advising
2170# that effective 2001-04-01, the territory of Nunavut will revert
2171# back to three time zones (mountain, central, and eastern).  Of the
2172# cities in Nunavut, Coral Harbor is the only one that I know of that
2173# has said it will not observe dst, staying on EST year round.  I'm
2174# checking for more info, and will get back to you if I come up with
2175# more.
2176# [Also see <http://www.nunatsiaq.com/nunavut/nvt10309_06.html> (2001-03-09).]
2177
2178# From Gwillim Law (2005-05-21):
2179# According to ...
2180# http://www.canadiangeographic.ca/Magazine/SO98/geomap.asp
2181# (from a 1998 Canadian Geographic article), the de facto and de jure time
2182# for Southampton Island (at the north end of Hudson Bay) is UTC-5 all year
2183# round.  Using Google, it's easy to find other websites that confirm this.
2184# I wasn't able to find how far back this time regimen goes, but since it
2185# predates the creation of Nunavut, it probably goes back many years....
2186# The Inuktitut name of Coral Harbour is Sallit, but it's rarely used.
2187#
2188# From Paul Eggert (2014-10-17):
2189# For lack of better information, assume that Southampton Island observed
2190# daylight saving only during wartime.  Gwillim Law's email also
2191# mentioned maps now maintained by National Research Council Canada;
2192# see above for an up-to-date link.
2193
2194# From Chris Walton (2007-03-01):
2195# ... the community of Resolute (located on Cornwallis Island in
2196# Nunavut) moved from Central Time to Eastern Time last November.
2197# Basically the community did not change its clocks at the end of
2198# daylight saving....
2199# http://www.nnsl.com/frames/newspapers/2006-11/nov13_06none.html
2200
2201# From Chris Walton (2011-03-21):
2202# Back in 2007 I initiated the creation of a new "zone file" for Resolute
2203# Bay. Resolute Bay is a small community located about 900km north of
2204# the Arctic Circle. The zone file was required because Resolute Bay had
2205# decided to use UTC-5 instead of UTC-6 for the winter of 2006-2007.
2206#
2207# According to new information which I received last week, Resolute Bay
2208# went back to using UTC-6 in the winter of 2007-2008...
2209#
2210# On March 11/2007 most of Canada went onto daylight saving. On March
2211# 14/2007 I phoned the Resolute Bay hamlet office to do a "time check." I
2212# talked to somebody that was both knowledgeable and helpful. I was able
2213# to confirm that Resolute Bay was still operating on UTC-5. It was
2214# explained to me that Resolute Bay had been on the Eastern Time zone
2215# (EST) in the winter, and was now back on the Central Time zone (CDT).
2216# i.e. the time zone had changed twice in the last year but the clocks
2217# had not moved. The residents had to know which time zone they were in
2218# so they could follow the correct TV schedule...
2219#
2220# On Nov 02/2008 most of Canada went onto standard time. On Nov 03/2008 I
2221# phoned the Resolute Bay hamlet office...[D]ue to the challenging nature
2222# of the phone call, I decided to seek out an alternate source of
2223# information. I found an e-mail address for somebody by the name of
2224# Stephanie Adams whose job was listed as "Inns North Support Officer for
2225# Arctic Co-operatives." I was under the impression that Stephanie lived
2226# and worked in Resolute Bay...
2227#
2228# On March 14/2011 I phoned the hamlet office again. I was told that
2229# Resolute Bay had been using Central Standard Time over the winter of
2230# 2010-2011 and that the clocks had therefore been moved one hour ahead
2231# on March 13/2011. The person I talked to was aware that Resolute Bay
2232# had previously experimented with Eastern Standard Time but he could not
2233# tell me when the practice had stopped.
2234#
2235# On March 17/2011 I searched the Web to find an e-mail address of
2236# somebody that might be able to tell me exactly when Resolute Bay went
2237# off Eastern Standard Time. I stumbled on the name "Aziz Kheraj." Aziz
2238# used to be the mayor of Resolute Bay and he apparently owns half the
2239# businesses including "South Camp Inn." This website has some info on
2240# Aziz:
2241# http://www.uphere.ca/node/493
2242#
2243# I sent Aziz an e-mail asking when Resolute Bay had stopped using
2244# Eastern Standard Time.
2245#
2246# Aziz responded quickly with this: "hi, The time was not changed for the
2247# 1 year only, the following year, the community went back to the old way
2248# of "spring ahead-fall behind" currently we are zulu plus 5 hrs and in
2249# the winter Zulu plus 6 hrs"
2250#
2251# This of course conflicted with everything I had ascertained in November 2008.
2252#
2253# I sent Aziz a copy of my 2008 e-mail exchange with Stephanie. Aziz
2254# responded with this: "Hi, Stephanie lives in Winnipeg. I live here, You
2255# may want to check with the weather office in Resolute Bay or do a
2256# search on the weather through Env. Canada. web site"
2257#
2258# If I had realized the Stephanie did not live in Resolute Bay I would
2259# never have contacted her.  I now believe that all the information I
2260# obtained in November 2008 should be ignored...
2261# I apologize for reporting incorrect information in 2008.
2262
2263# From Tim Parenti (2020-03-05):
2264# The government of Yukon announced [yesterday] the cessation of seasonal time
2265# changes.  "After clocks are pushed ahead one hour on March 8, the territory
2266# will remain on [UTC-07].  ... [The government] found 93 per cent of
2267# respondents wanted to end seasonal time changes and, of that group, 70 per
2268# cent wanted 'permanent Pacific Daylight Saving Time.'"

2270#
2271# Although the government press release prefers PDT, we prefer MST for
2272# consistency with nearby Dawson Creek, Creston, and Fort Nelson.
2273# https://yukon.ca/en/news/yukon-end-seasonal-time-change
2274
2275# From Andrew G. Smith (2020-09-24):
2276# Yukon has completed its regulatory change to be on UTC -7 year-round....
2277# http://www.gov.yk.ca/legislation/regs/oic2020_125.pdf

2281#
2282# From Paul Eggert (2020-09-24):
2283# tzdb uses the obsolete YST abbreviation for standard time in Yukon through
2284# about 1970, and uses PST for standard time in Yukon since then.  Consistent
2285# with that, use MST for -07, the new standard time in Yukon effective Nov. 1.

2375# I finally got my hands on the Official Presidential Decree that sets up the
2376# rules for the DST changes. The rules are:
2377#
2378# 1. The country is divided in 3 timezones:
2379#    - Baja California Norte (the Mexico/BajaNorte TZ)
2380#    - Baja California Sur, Nayarit, Sinaloa and Sonora (the Mexico/BajaSur TZ)
2381#    - The rest of the country (the Mexico/General TZ)
2382#
2383# 2. From the first Sunday in April at 2:00 AM to the last Sunday in October
2384#    at 2:00 AM, the times in each zone are as follows:
2385#    BajaNorte: GMT+7
2386#    BajaSur:   GMT+6
2387#    General:   GMT+5
2388#
2389# 3. The rest of the year, the times are as follows:
2390#    BajaNorte: GMT+8
2391#    BajaSur:   GMT+7
2392#    General:   GMT+6
2393#

2745# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
2746# Formerly there was an America/Ensenada zone, which differed from
2747# America/Tijuana only in that it did not observe DST from 1976
2748# through 1995.  This was as per Shanks (1999).  But Shanks & Pottenger say
2749# Ensenada did not observe DST from 1948 through 1975.  Guy Harris reports
2750# that the 1987 OAG says "Only Ensenada, Mexicali, San Felipe and
2751# Tijuana observe DST," which agrees with Shanks & Pottenger but implies that
2752# DST-observance was a town-by-town matter back then.  This concerns
2753# data after 1970 so most likely there should be at least one Zone
2754# other than America/Tijuana for Baja, but it's not clear yet what its
2755# name or contents should be.
2756#
2757# From Paul Eggert (2015-10-08):
2758# Formerly there was an America/Santa_Isabel zone, but this appears to
2759# have come from a misreading of

2761# It has been moved to the 'backward' file.
2762#
2763# From Paul Eggert (2022-10-28):
2764# Today's new law states that the entire state of Baja California
2765# follows US DST rules, which agrees with simplifications noted above.

3014# The 1999-03-28 exhibition baseball game held in Havana, Cuba, between
3015# the Cuban National Team and the Baltimore Orioles was carried live on
3016# the Orioles Radio Network, including affiliate WTOP in Washington, DC.
3017# During the game, play-by-play announcer Jim Hunter noted that
3018# "We'll be losing two hours of sleep...Cuba switched to Daylight Saving
3019# Time today."  (The "two hour" remark referred to losing one hour of
3020# sleep on 1999-03-28 - when the announcers were in Cuba as it switched
3021# to DST - and one more hour on 1999-04-04 - when the announcers will have

3094# which is not present in tzdata/Shanks. So there is a chance we need to

3287# on the Web page of the Haitian Consulate in Chicago (2005-03-31),
3288# <http://www.haitianconsulate.org/time.doc>.  Translated from French, it says:
3289#
3290#  "The Prime Minister's Communication Office notifies the public in general
3291#   and the press in particular that, following a decision of the Interior
3292#   Ministry and the Territorial Collectivities [I suppose that means the
3293#   provinces], Haiti will move to Eastern Daylight Time in the night from next
3294#   Saturday the 2nd to Sunday the 3rd.
3295#
3296#  "Consequently, the Prime Minister's Communication Office wishes to inform
3297#   the population that the country's clocks will be set forward one hour
3298#   starting at midnight.  This provision will hold until the last Saturday in
3299#   October 2005.

3302#
3303# From Steffen Thorsen (2006-04-04):
3304# I have been informed by users that Haiti observes DST this year like
3305# last year, so the current "only" rule for 2005 might be changed to a
3306# "max" rule or to last until 2006. (Who knows if they will observe DST
3307# next year or if they will extend their DST like US/Canada next year).
3308#
3309# I have found this article about it (in French):

3589# http://online.fliphtml5.com/fizd/dmcu/#p=2
3590#
3591# From Tim Parenti (2020-12-05):
3592# Although L.N. 31/2017 reads that it "shall come into operation at 2:00 a.m.
3593# on 11th March 2018", a precise interpretation here poses some problems.  The
3594# order states that "the standard time to be observed throughout the Turks and
3595# Caicos Islands shall be the same time zone as the Eastern United States of
3596# America" and further clarifies "[f]or the avoidance of doubt" that it
3597# "applies to the Eastern Standard Time as well as any changes thereto for
3598# Daylight Saving Time."  However, as clocks in Turks and Caicos approached
3599# 02:00 -04, and thus the declared implementation time, it was still 01:00 EST
3600# (-05), as DST in the Eastern US would not start until an hour later.
3601#
3602# Since it is unlikely that those on the islands switched their clocks twice in
3603# the span of an hour, we assume instead that the adoption of EDT actually took
3604# effect once clocks in the Eastern US had sprung forward, from 03:00 -04.
3605# This discrepancy only affects the time zone abbreviation and DST flag for the
3606# intervening hour, not wall clock times, as -04 was maintained throughout.
