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.

88# (Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, 1927).
89# http://www.clpgh.org/exhibit/dst.html
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 Arthur David Olson:
97# US Daylight Saving Time ended on the last Sunday of *October* in 1974.
98# See, for example, the front page of the Saturday, 1974-10-26
99# and Sunday, 1974-10-27 editions of the Washington Post.
100
101# From Arthur David Olson:
102# Before the Uniform Time Act of 1966 took effect in 1967, observance of
103# Daylight Saving Time in the US was by local option, except during wartime.
104
105# From Arthur David Olson (2000-09-25):
106# Last night I heard part of a rebroadcast of a 1945 Arch Oboler radio drama.
107# In the introduction, Oboler spoke of "Eastern Peace Time."
108# An AltaVista search turned up:
109# https://web.archive.org/web/20000926032210/http://rowayton.org/rhs/hstaug45.html
110# "When the time is announced over the radio now, it is 'Eastern Peace
111# Time' instead of the old familiar 'Eastern War Time.'  Peace is wonderful."
112# (August 1945) by way of confirmation.
113#
114# From Paul Eggert (2017-09-23):
115# This was the V-J Day issue of the Clamdigger, a Rowayton, CT newsletter.
116
117# From Joseph Gallant citing
118# George H. Douglas, _The Early Days of Radio Broadcasting_ (1987):
119# At 7 P.M. (Eastern War Time) [on 1945-08-14], the networks were set
120# to switch to London for Attlee's address, but the American people
121# never got to hear his speech live. According to one press account,
122# CBS' Bob Trout was first to announce the word of Japan's surrender,
123# but a few seconds later, NBC, ABC and Mutual also flashed the word
124# of surrender, all of whom interrupting the bells of Big Ben in
125# London which were to precede Mr. Attlee's speech.
126
127# From Paul Eggert (2003-02-09): It was Robert St John, not Bob Trout.  From
128# Myrna Oliver's obituary of St John on page B16 of today's Los Angeles Times:
129#
130# ... a war-weary U.S. clung to radios, awaiting word of Japan's surrender.
131# Any announcement from Asia would reach St. John's New York newsroom on a
132# wire service teletype machine, which had prescribed signals for major news.
133# Associated Press, for example, would ring five bells before spewing out
134# typed copy of an important story, and 10 bells for news "of transcendental
135# importance."
136#
137# On Aug. 14, stalling while talking steadily into the NBC networks' open
138# microphone, St. John heard five bells and waited only to hear a sixth bell,
139# before announcing confidently: "Ladies and gentlemen, World War II is over.
140# The Japanese have agreed to our surrender terms."
141#
142# He had scored a 20-second scoop on other broadcasters.
143
144# From Arthur David Olson (2005-08-22):
145# Paul has been careful to use the "US" rules only in those locations
146# that are part of the United States; this reflects the real scope of
147# U.S. government action.  So even though the "US" rules have changed
148# in the latest release, other countries won't be affected.

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

247# and "Alaska", in practice "Standard" was placed just before "Time",
248# as codified in 1966.  In practice, Alaska time was abbreviated "AST"
249# before 1968.  Summarizing the 1967 name changes:

357# their time signals from the Allegheny Observatory, the Madison Observatory,

447# Eventually the federal government gave in and changed the law on
448# 1970-04-10 to match what El Paso was actually doing.  Although
449# that's slightly after our 1970 cutoff, there is no need to create a

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

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

490#
491# In response:
492#
493#   Governor Warren received a torrent of objecting mail, and it is not too much
494#   to speculate that the objections to Daylight Saving Time were one important
495#   factor in the defeat of the Dewey-Warren Presidential ticket in California.
496#     -- Ross, p 25
497#
498# On December 8 the governor exercised the option, setting the date to January 1
499# (LA Times 1948-12-09).  The transition time was 02:00 (LA Times 1949-01-01).
500#
501# Despite the controversy, in 1949 California voters approved Proposition 12,
502# which established DST from April's last Sunday at 01:00 until September's
503# last Sunday at 02:00. This was amended by 1962's Proposition 6, which changed

521# AK%sT is the modern abbreviation for -09 per USNO.
522#
523# From Paul Eggert (2017-06-15):
524# Howse writes that Alaska switched from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar,
525# and from east-of-GMT to west-of-GMT days, when the US bought it from Russia.
526# On Friday, 1867-10-18 (Gregorian), at precisely 15:30 local time, the
527# Russian forts and fleet at Sitka fired salutes to mark the ceremony of
528# formal transfer.  See the Sacramento Daily Union (1867-11-14), p 3, col 2.
529# https://cdnc.ucr.edu/cgi-bin/cdnc?a=d&d=SDU18671114.2.12.1
530# Sitka workers did not change their calendars until Sunday, 1867-10-20,
531# and so celebrated two Sundays that week.  See: Ahllund T (tr Hallamaa P).
532# From the memoirs of a Finnish workman. Alaska History. 2006 Fall;21(2):1-25.
533# http://alaskahistoricalsociety.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Ahllund-2006-Memoirs-of-a-Finnish-Workman.pdf
534# Include only the time zone part of this transition, ignoring the switch
535# from Julian to Gregorian, since we can't represent the Julian calendar.
536#
537# As far as we know, of the locations mentioned below only Sitka was
538# permanently inhabited in 1867 by anyone using either calendar.
539# (Yakutat was colonized by the Russians in 1799, but the settlement was
540# destroyed in 1805 by a Yakutat-kon war party.)  Many of Alaska's inhabitants
541# were unaware of the US acquisition of Alaska, much less of any calendar or
542# time change.  However, the Russian-influenced part of Alaska did observe
543# Russian time, and it is more accurate to model this than to ignore it.
544# The database format requires an exact transition time; use the Russian
545# salute as a somewhat-arbitrary time for the formal transfer of control for
546# all of Alaska.  Sitka's UTC offset is -9:01:13; adjust its 15:30 to the
547# local times of other Alaskan locations so that they change simultaneously.
548
549# From Paul Eggert (2014-07-18):
550# One opinion of the early-1980s turmoil in Alaska over time zones and
551# daylight saving time appeared as graffiti on a Juneau airport wall:
552# "Welcome to Juneau.  Please turn your watch back to the 19th century."

561# From Arthur David Olson (2011-02-01):
562# Here's database-relevant material from the 2001 "Alaska History" article:
563#
564# On September 20 [1979]...DOT...officials decreed that on April 27,
565# 1980, Juneau and other nearby communities would move to Yukon Time.
566# Sitka, Petersburg, Wrangell, and Ketchikan, however, would remain on
567# Pacific Time.
568#
569# ...on September 22, 1980, DOT Secretary Neil E. Goldschmidt rescinded the
570# Department's September 1979 decision. Juneau and other communities in
571# northern Southeast reverted to Pacific Time on October 26.
572#
573# On October 28 [1983]...the Metlakatla Indian Community Council voted
574# unanimously to keep the reservation on Pacific Time.
575#
576# According to DOT official Joanne Petrie, Indian reservations are not
577# bound to follow time zones imposed by neighboring jurisdictions.
578#
579# (The last is consistent with how the database now handles the Navajo
580# Nation.)
581
582# From Arthur David Olson (2011-02-09):
583# I just spoke by phone with a staff member at the Metlakatla Indian
584# Community office (using contact information available at
585# http://www.commerce.state.ak.us/dca/commdb/CIS.cfm?Comm_Boro_name=Metlakatla
586# It's shortly after 1:00 here on the east coast of the United States;
587# the staffer said it was shortly after 10:00 there. When I asked whether
588# that meant they were on Pacific time, they said no - they were on their
589# own time. I asked about daylight saving; they said it wasn't used. I
590# did not inquire about practices in the past.
591
592# From Arthur David Olson (2011-08-17):
593# For lack of better information, assume that Metlakatla's
594# abandonment of use of daylight saving resulted from the 1983 vote.
595
596# From Steffen Thorsen (2015-11-09):
597# It seems Metlakatla did go off PST on Sunday, November 1, changing
598# their time to AKST and are going to follow Alaska's DST, switching
599# between AKST and AKDT from now on....

733# The information in the rest of this paragraph is derived from the
734# Daylight Saving Time web page
735# <http://www.dlapr.lib.az.us/links/daylight.htm> (2002-01-23)
736# maintained by the Arizona State Library, Archives and Public Records.
737# Between 1944-01-01 and 1944-04-01 the State of Arizona used standard
738# time, but by federal law railroads, airlines, bus lines, military
739# personnel, and some engaged in interstate commerce continued to
740# observe war (i.e., daylight saving) time.  The 1944-03-17 Phoenix
741# Gazette says that was the date the law changed, and that 04-01 was
742# the date the state's clocks would change.  In 1945 the State of
743# Arizona used standard time all year, again with exceptions only as
744# mandated by federal law.  Arizona observed DST in 1967, but Arizona
745# Laws 1968, ch. 183 (effective 1968-03-21) repealed DST.
746#
747# Shanks says the 1944 experiment came to an end on 1944-03-17.

787#
788# From Paul Eggert (2007-08-17):
789# Since 1970, most of Indiana has been like America/Indiana/Indianapolis,
790# with the following exceptions:
791#
792# - Gibson, Jasper, Lake, LaPorte, Newton, Porter, Posey, Spencer,
793#   Vanderburgh, and Warrick counties have been like America/Chicago.
794#
795# - Dearborn and Ohio counties have been like America/New_York.
796#
797# - Clark, Floyd, and Harrison counties have been like
798#   America/Kentucky/Louisville.
799#
800# - Crawford, Daviess, Dubois, Knox, Martin, Perry, Pike, Pulaski, Starke,
801#   and Switzerland counties have their own time zone histories as noted below.
802#
803# Shanks partitioned Indiana into 345 regions, each with its own time history,
804# and wrote "Even newspaper reports present contradictory information."
805# Those Hoosiers!  Such a flighty and changeable people!
806# Fortunately, most of the complexity occurred before our cutoff date of 1970.
807#
808# Other than Indianapolis, the Indiana place names are so nondescript
809# that they would be ambiguous if we left them at the 'America' level.
810# So we reluctantly put them all in a subdirectory 'America/Indiana'.
811
812# From Paul Eggert (2014-06-26):
813# https://www.federalregister.gov/articles/2006/01/20/06-563/standard-time-zone-boundary-in-the-state-of-indiana
814# says "DOT is relocating the time zone boundary in Indiana to move Starke,
815# Pulaski, Knox, Daviess, Martin, Pike, Dubois, and Perry Counties from the
816# Eastern Time Zone to the Central Time Zone.... The effective date of
817# this rule is 2 a.m. EST Sunday, April 2, 2006, which is the
818# changeover date from standard time to Daylight Saving Time."
819# Strictly speaking, this meant the affected counties changed their
820# clocks twice that night, but this obviously was in error.  The intent
821# was that 01:59:59 EST be followed by 02:00:00 CDT.
822
823# From Gwillim Law (2007-02-10):

1051# Michigan
1052#
1053# From Bob Devine (1988-01-28):
1054# Michigan didn't observe DST from 1968 to 1973.
1055#
1056# From Paul Eggert (1999-03-31):
1057# Shanks writes that Michigan started using standard time on 1885-09-18,
1058# but Howse writes (pp 124-125, referring to Popular Astronomy, 1901-01)
1059# that Detroit kept
1060#
1061#	local time until 1900 when the City Council decreed that clocks should
1062#	be put back twenty-eight minutes to Central Standard Time.  Half the
1063#	city obeyed, half refused.  After considerable debate, the decision
1064#	was rescinded and the city reverted to Sun time.  A derisive offer to
1065#	erect a sundial in front of the city hall was referred to the
1066#	Committee on Sewers.  Then, in 1905, Central time was adopted
1067#	by city vote.
1068#
1069# This story is too entertaining to be false, so go with Howse over Shanks.
1070#
1071# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-06):
1072# Garland (1927) writes "Cleveland and Detroit advanced their clocks
1073# one hour in 1914."  This change is not in Shanks.  We have no more
1074# info, so omit this for now.
1075#
1076# From Paul Eggert (2017-07-26):
1077# Although Shanks says Detroit observed DST in 1967 from 06-14 00:01
1078# until 10-29 00:01, I now see multiple reports that this is incorrect.
1079# For example, according to a 50-year anniversary report about the 1967
1080# Detroit riots and a major-league doubleheader on 1967-07-23, "By the time
1081# the last fly ball of the doubleheader settled into the glove of leftfielder
1082# Lenny Green, it was after 7 p.m.  Detroit did not observe daylight saving
1083# time, so light was already starting to fail.  Twilight was made even deeper
1084# by billowing columns of smoke that ascended in an unbroken wall north of the
1085# ballpark."  See: Dow B. Detroit '67: As violence unfolded, Tigers played two
1086# at home vs. Yankees. Detroit Free Press 2017-07-23.

1088#
1089# Most of Michigan observed DST from 1973 on, but was a bit late in 1975.

1514# [According to the Toronto Star] Orillia, Ontario, adopted DST
1515# effective Saturday, 1912-06-22, 22:00; the article mentions that
1516# Port Arthur (now part of Thunder Bay, Ontario) as well as Moose Jaw
1517# have already done so.  In Orillia DST was to run until Saturday,
1518# 1912-08-31 (no time mentioned), but it was met with considerable
1519# hostility from certain segments of the public, and was revoked after
1520# only two weeks - I copied it as Saturday, 1912-07-07, 22:00, but
1521# presumably that should be -07-06.  (1912-06-19, -07-12; also letters

1531# From Paul Eggert (1997-10-17):
1532# Mark Brader writes that an article in the 1997-10-14 Toronto Star
1533# says that Atikokan, Ontario currently does not observe DST,
1534# but will vote on 11-10 whether to use EST/EDT.
1535# He also writes that the Ontario Time Act (1990, Chapter T.9)
1536# http://www.gov.on.ca/MBS/english/publications/statregs/conttext.html
1537# says that Ontario east of 90W uses EST/EDT, and west of 90W uses CST/CDT.
1538# Officially Atikokan is therefore on CST/CDT, and most likely this report
1539# concerns a non-official time observed as a matter of local practice.
1540#
1541# From Paul Eggert (2000-10-02):
1542# Matthews and Vincent (1998) write that Atikokan, Pickle Lake, and
1543# New Osnaburgh observe CST all year, that Big Trout Lake observes
1544# CST/CDT, and that Upsala and Shebandowan observe EST/EDT, all in
1545# violation of the official Ontario rules.
1546#
1547# From Paul Eggert (2006-07-09):
1548# Chris Walton (2006-07-06) mentioned an article by Stephanie MacLellan in the
1549# 2005-07-21 Chronicle-Journal, which said:
1550#
1551#	The clocks in Atikokan stay set on standard time year-round.
1552#	This means they spend about half the time on central time and
1553#	the other half on eastern time.
1554#
1555#	For the most part, the system works, Mayor Dennis Brown said.
1556#
1557#	"The majority of businesses in Atikokan deal more with Eastern
1558#	Canada, but there are some that deal with Western Canada," he
1559#	said.  "I don't see any changes happening here."
1560#
1561# Walton also writes "Supposedly Pickle Lake and Mishkeegogamang
1562# [New Osnaburgh] follow the same practice."
1563
1564# From Garry McKinnon (2006-07-14) via Chris Walton:
1565# I chatted with a member of my board who has an outstanding memory
1566# and a long history in Atikokan (and in the telecom industry) and he
1567# can say for certain that Atikokan has been practicing the current
1568# time keeping since 1952, at least.
1569
1570# From Paul Eggert (2006-07-17):
1571# Shanks & Pottenger say that Atikokan has agreed with Rainy River
1572# ever since standard time was introduced, but the information from
1573# McKinnon sounds more authoritative.  For now, assume that Atikokan
1574# switched to EST immediately after WWII era daylight saving time
1575# ended.  This matches the old (less-populous) America/Coral_Harbour
1576# entry since our cutoff date of 1970, so we can move
1577# America/Coral_Harbour to the 'backward' file.

1591#
1592# In the (Toronto) Globe and Mail for Saturday, 1955-09-24, in the bottom
1593# right corner of page 1, it says that Toronto will return to standard

1595#
1596#     The one-hour setback will go into effect throughout most of Ontario,
1597#     except in areas like Windsor which remains on standard time all year.
1598#
1599# Windsor is, of course, a lot larger than Nipigon.
1600#
1601# I only came across this incidentally.  I don't know if Windsor began
1602# observing DST when Detroit did, or in 1974, or on some other date.
1603#
1604# By the way, the article continues by noting that:

1740# Manitoba
1741
1742# From Rob Douglas (2006-04-06):
1743# the old Manitoba Time Act - as amended by Bill 2, assented to
1744# March 27, 1987 ... said ...
1745# "between two o'clock Central Standard Time in the morning of
1746# the first Sunday of April of each year and two o'clock Central
1747# Standard Time in the morning of the last Sunday of October next
1748# following, one hour in advance of Central Standard Time."...
1749# I believe that the English legislation [of the old time act] had
1750# been assented to (March 22, 1967)....
1751# Also, as far as I can tell, there was no order-in-council varying
1752# the time of Daylight Saving Time for 2005 and so the provisions of
1753# the 1987 version would apply - the changeover was at 2:00 Central
1754# Standard Time (i.e. not until 3:00 Central Daylight Time).
1755
1756# From Paul Eggert (2006-04-10):
1757# Shanks & Pottenger say Manitoba switched at 02:00 (not 02:00s)
1758# starting 1966.  Since 02:00s is clearly correct for 1967 on, assume

1792# Saskatchewan
1793
1794# From Mark Brader (2003-07-26):
1795# The first actual adoption of DST in Canada was at the municipal
1796# level.  As the [Toronto] Star put it (1912-06-07), "While people
1797# elsewhere have long been talking of legislation to save daylight,
1798# the city of Moose Jaw [Saskatchewan] has acted on its own hook."
1799# DST in Moose Jaw began on Saturday, 1912-06-01 (no time mentioned:
1800# presumably late evening, as below), and would run until "the end of
1801# the summer".  The discrepancy between municipal time and railroad
1802# time was noted.
1803
1804# From Paul Eggert (2003-07-27):
1805# Willett (1914-03) notes that DST "has been in operation ... in the
1806# City of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, for one year."
1807
1808# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
1809# Shanks & Pottenger say that since 1970 this region has mostly been as Regina.
1810# Some western towns (e.g. Swift Current) switched from MST/MDT to CST in 1972.
1811# Other western towns (e.g. Lloydminster) are like Edmonton.
1812# Matthews and Vincent (1998) write that Denare Beach and Creighton
1813# are like Winnipeg, in violation of Saskatchewan law.
1814
1815# From W. Jones (1992-11-06):
1816# The. . .below is based on information I got from our law library, the
1817# provincial archives, and the provincial Community Services department.
1818# A precise history would require digging through newspaper archives, and
1819# since you didn't say what you wanted, I didn't bother.
1820#
1821# Saskatchewan is split by a time zone meridian (105W) and over the years
1822# the boundary became pretty ragged as communities near it reevaluated
1823# their affiliations in one direction or the other.  In 1965 a provincial
1824# referendum favoured legislating common time practices.
1825#
1826# On 15 April 1966 the Time Act (c. T-14, Revised Statutes of
1827# Saskatchewan 1978) was proclaimed, and established that the eastern
1828# part of Saskatchewan would use CST year round, that districts in
1829# northwest Saskatchewan would by default follow CST but could opt to
1830# follow Mountain Time rules (thus 1 hour difference in the winter and
1831# zero in the summer), and that districts in southwest Saskatchewan would
1832# by default follow MT but could opt to follow CST.
1833#
1834# It took a few years for the dust to settle (I know one story of a town
1835# on one time zone having its school in another, such that a mom had to
1836# serve her family lunch in two shifts), but presently it seems that only
1837# a few towns on the border with Alberta (e.g. Lloydminster) follow MT
1838# rules any more; all other districts appear to have used CST year round
1839# since sometime in the 1960s.
1840
1841# From Chris Walton (2006-06-26):
1842# The Saskatchewan time act which was last updated in 1996 is about 30 pages
1843# long and rather painful to read.

1909# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
1910# Shanks & Pottenger write that since 1970 most of this region has
1911# been like Vancouver.
1912# Dawson Creek uses MST.  Much of east BC is like Edmonton.
1913# Matthews and Vincent (1998) write that Creston is like Dawson Creek.
1914
1915# It seems though that (re: Creston) is not entirely correct:
1916
1917# From Chris Walton (2011-12-01):
1918# There are two areas within the Canadian province of British Columbia
1919# that do not currently observe daylight saving:
1920# a) The Creston Valley (includes the town of Creston and surrounding area)
1921# b) The eastern half of the Peace River Regional District
1922# (includes the cities of Dawson Creek and Fort St. John)
1923
1924# Earlier this year I stumbled across a detailed article about the time
1925# keeping history of Creston; it was written by Tammy Hardwick who is the
1926# manager of the Creston & District Museum. The article was written in May 2009.
1927# http://www.ilovecreston.com/?p=articles&t=spec&ar=260
1928# According to the article, Creston has not changed its clocks since June 1918.
1929# i.e. Creston has been stuck on UT-7 for 93 years.
1930# Dawson Creek, on the other hand, changed its clocks as recently as April 1972.
1931
1932# Unfortunately the exact date for the time change in June 1918 remains
1933# unknown and will be difficult to ascertain.  I e-mailed Tammy a few months
1934# ago to ask if Sunday June 2 was a reasonable guess.  She said it was just
1935# as plausible as any other date (in June).  She also said that after writing
1936# the article she had discovered another time change in 1916; this is the
1937# subject of another article which she wrote in October 2010.
1938# http://www.creston.museum.bc.ca/index.php?module=comments&uop=view_comment&cm+id=56
1939
1940# Here is a summary of the three clock change events in Creston's history:
1941# 1. 1884 or 1885: adoption of Mountain Standard Time (GMT-7)
1942# Exact date unknown
1943# 2. Oct 1916: switch to Pacific Standard Time (GMT-8)
1944# Exact date in October unknown; Sunday October 1 is a reasonable guess.
1945# 3. June 1918: switch to Pacific Daylight Time (GMT-7)
1946# Exact date in June unknown; Sunday June 2 is a reasonable guess.
1947# note 1:
1948# On Oct 27/1918 when daylight saving ended in the rest of Canada,
1949# Creston did not change its clocks.
1950# note 2:
1951# During WWII when the Federal Government legislated a mandatory clock change,
1952# Creston did not oblige.
1953# note 3:
1954# There is no guarantee that Creston will remain on Mountain Standard Time
1955# (UTC-7) forever.
1956# The subject was debated at least once this year by the town Council.
1957# http://www.bclocalnews.com/kootenay_rockies/crestonvalleyadvance/news/116760809.html
1958
1959# During a period WWII, summer time (Daylight saying) was mandatory in Canada.
1960# In Creston, that was handled by shifting the area to PST (-8:00) then applying
1961# summer time to cause the offset to be -7:00, the same as it had been before
1962# the change.  It can be argued that the timezone abbreviation during this
1963# period should be PDT rather than MST, but that doesn't seem important enough
1964# (to anyone) to further complicate the rules.
1965
1966# The transition dates (and times) are guesses.
1967
1968# From Matt Johnson (2015-09-21):
1969# Fort Nelson, BC, Canada will cancel DST this year.  So while previously they
1970# were aligned with America/Vancouver, they're now aligned with
1971# America/Dawson_Creek.

1973#
1974# From Tim Parenti (2015-09-23):
1975# This requires a new zone for the Northern Rockies Regional Municipality,
1976# America/Fort_Nelson.  The resolution of 2014-12-08 was reached following a
1977# 2014-11-15 poll with nearly 75% support.  Effectively, the municipality has
1978# been on MST (-0700) like Dawson Creek since it advanced its clocks on
1979# 2015-03-08.
1980#
1981# From Paul Eggert (2015-09-23):

2134# From Antoine Leca (1999-09-06):
2135# We then need to create a new timezone for the Kitikmeot region of Nunavut
2136# to differentiate it from the Yellowknife region.
2137
2138# From Paul Eggert (1999-09-20):
2139# Basic Facts: The New Territory
2140# http://www.nunavut.com/basicfacts/english/basicfacts_1territory.html
2141# (1999) reports that Pangnirtung operates on eastern time,
2142# and that Coral Harbour does not observe DST.  We don't know when
2143# Pangnirtung switched to eastern time; we'll guess 1995.
2144
2145# From Rives McDow (1999-11-08):
2146# On October 31, when the rest of Nunavut went to Central time,
2147# Pangnirtung wobbled.  Here is the result of their wobble:
2148#
2149# The following businesses and organizations in Pangnirtung use Central Time:
2150#
2151#	First Air, Power Corp, Nunavut Construction, Health Center, RCMP,
2152#	Eastern Arctic National Parks, A & D Specialist
2153#
2154# The following businesses and organizations in Pangnirtung use Eastern Time:
2155#
2156#	Hamlet office, All other businesses, Both schools, Airport operator
2157#
2158# This has made for an interesting situation there, which warranted the news.
2159# No one there that I spoke with seems concerned, or has plans to
2160# change the local methods of keeping time, as it evidently does not
2161# really interfere with any activities or make things difficult locally.
2162# They plan to celebrate New Year's turn-over twice, one hour apart,
2163# so it appears that the situation will last at least that long.
2164# The Nunavut Intergovernmental Affairs hopes that they will "come to
2165# their senses", but the locals evidently don't see any problem with
2166# the current state of affairs.
2167
2168# From Michaela Rodrigue, writing in the
2169# Nunatsiaq News (1999-11-19):
2170# http://www.nunatsiaqonline.ca/archives/nunavut991130/nvt91119_17.html
2171# Clyde River, Pangnirtung and Sanikiluaq now operate with two time zones,
2172# central - or Nunavut time - for government offices, and eastern time
2173# for municipal offices and schools....  Igloolik [was similar but then]
2174# made the switch to central time on Saturday, Nov. 6.
2175
2176# From Paul Eggert (2000-10-02):
2177# Matthews and Vincent (1998) say the following, but we lack histories
2178# for these potential new Zones.
2179#
2180# The Canadian Forces station at Alert uses Eastern Time while the
2181# handful of residents at the Eureka weather station [in the Central
2182# zone] skip daylight savings.  Baffin Island, which is crossed by the
2183# Central, Eastern and Atlantic Time zones only uses Eastern Time.
2184# Gjoa Haven, Taloyoak and Pelly Bay all use Mountain instead of
2185# Central Time and Southampton Island [in the Central zone] is not
2186# required to use daylight savings.
2187
2188# From <http://www.nunatsiaqonline.ca/archives/nunavut001130/nvt21110_02.html>
2189# Nunavut now has two time zones (2000-11-10):
2190# The Nunavut government would allow its employees in Kugluktuk and
2191# Cambridge Bay to operate on central time year-round, putting them
2192# one hour behind the rest of Nunavut for six months during the winter.
2193# At the end of October the two communities had rebelled against
2194# Nunavut's unified time zone, refusing to shift to eastern time with
2195# the rest of the territory for the winter.  Cambridge Bay remained on
2196# central time, while Kugluktuk, even farther west, reverted to
2197# mountain time, which they had used before the advent of Nunavut's
2198# unified time zone in 1999.
2199#
2200# From Rives McDow (2001-01-20), quoting the Nunavut government:
2201# The preceding decision came into effect at midnight, Saturday Nov 4, 2000.
2202
2203# From Paul Eggert (2000-12-04):
2204# Let's just keep track of the official times for now.
2205
2206# From Rives McDow (2001-03-07):
2207# The premier of Nunavut has issued a ministerial statement advising
2208# that effective 2001-04-01, the territory of Nunavut will revert
2209# back to three time zones (mountain, central, and eastern).  Of the
2210# cities in Nunavut, Coral Harbor is the only one that I know of that
2211# has said it will not observe dst, staying on EST year round.  I'm
2212# checking for more info, and will get back to you if I come up with
2213# more.

2215
2216# From Gwillim Law (2005-05-21):
2217# According to ...
2218# http://www.canadiangeographic.ca/Magazine/SO98/geomap.asp
2219# (from a 1998 Canadian Geographic article), the de facto and de jure time
2220# for Southampton Island (at the north end of Hudson Bay) is UTC-5 all year
2221# round.  Using Google, it's easy to find other websites that confirm this.
2222# I wasn't able to find how far back this time regimen goes, but since it
2223# predates the creation of Nunavut, it probably goes back many years....
2224# The Inuktitut name of Coral Harbour is Sallit, but it's rarely used.
2225#
2226# From Paul Eggert (2014-10-17):
2227# For lack of better information, assume that Southampton Island observed
2228# daylight saving only during wartime.  Gwillim Law's email also
2229# mentioned maps now maintained by National Research Council Canada;
2230# see above for an up-to-date link.
2231
2232# From Chris Walton (2007-03-01):
2233# ... the community of Resolute (located on Cornwallis Island in
2234# Nunavut) moved from Central Time to Eastern Time last November.
2235# Basically the community did not change its clocks at the end of
2236# daylight saving....
2237# http://www.nnsl.com/frames/newspapers/2006-11/nov13_06none.html
2238
2239# From Chris Walton (2011-03-21):
2240# Back in 2007 I initiated the creation of a new "zone file" for Resolute
2241# Bay. Resolute Bay is a small community located about 900km north of
2242# the Arctic Circle. The zone file was required because Resolute Bay had
2243# decided to use UTC-5 instead of UTC-6 for the winter of 2006-2007.
2244#
2245# According to new information which I received last week, Resolute Bay
2246# went back to using UTC-6 in the winter of 2007-2008...
2247#
2248# On March 11/2007 most of Canada went onto daylight saving. On March
2249# 14/2007 I phoned the Resolute Bay hamlet office to do a "time check." I
2250# talked to somebody that was both knowledgeable and helpful. I was able
2251# to confirm that Resolute Bay was still operating on UTC-5. It was
2252# explained to me that Resolute Bay had been on the Eastern Time zone
2253# (EST) in the winter, and was now back on the Central Time zone (CDT).
2254# i.e. the time zone had changed twice in the last year but the clocks
2255# had not moved. The residents had to know which time zone they were in
2256# so they could follow the correct TV schedule...
2257#
2258# On Nov 02/2008 most of Canada went onto standard time. On Nov 03/2008 I
2259# phoned the Resolute Bay hamlet office...[D]ue to the challenging nature
2260# of the phone call, I decided to seek out an alternate source of
2261# information. I found an e-mail address for somebody by the name of
2262# Stephanie Adams whose job was listed as "Inns North Support Officer for
2263# Arctic Co-operatives." I was under the impression that Stephanie lived
2264# and worked in Resolute Bay...
2265#
2266# On March 14/2011 I phoned the hamlet office again. I was told that
2267# Resolute Bay had been using Central Standard Time over the winter of
2268# 2010-2011 and that the clocks had therefore been moved one hour ahead
2269# on March 13/2011. The person I talked to was aware that Resolute Bay
2270# had previously experimented with Eastern Standard Time but he could not
2271# tell me when the practice had stopped.
2272#
2273# On March 17/2011 I searched the Web to find an e-mail address of
2274# somebody that might be able to tell me exactly when Resolute Bay went
2275# off Eastern Standard Time. I stumbled on the name "Aziz Kheraj." Aziz
2276# used to be the mayor of Resolute Bay and he apparently owns half the
2277# businesses including "South Camp Inn." This website has some info on
2278# Aziz:
2279# http://www.uphere.ca/node/493
2280#
2281# I sent Aziz an e-mail asking when Resolute Bay had stopped using
2282# Eastern Standard Time.
2283#
2284# Aziz responded quickly with this: "hi, The time was not changed for the
2285# 1 year only, the following year, the community went back to the old way
2286# of "spring ahead-fall behind" currently we are zulu plus 5 hrs and in
2287# the winter Zulu plus 6 hrs"
2288#
2289# This of course conflicted with everything I had ascertained in November 2008.
2290#
2291# I sent Aziz a copy of my 2008 e-mail exchange with Stephanie. Aziz
2292# responded with this: "Hi, Stephanie lives in Winnipeg. I live here, You
2293# may want to check with the weather office in Resolute Bay or do a
2294# search on the weather through Env. Canada. web site"
2295#
2296# If I had realized the Stephanie did not live in Resolute Bay I would
2297# never have contacted her.  I now believe that all the information I
2298# obtained in November 2008 should be ignored...
2299# I apologize for reporting incorrect information in 2008.

2366# From Paul Eggert (2014-12-07):
2367# The Investigation and Analysis Service of the
2368# Mexican Library of Congress (MLoC) has published a
2369# history of Mexican local time (in Spanish)
2370# http://www.diputados.gob.mx/bibliot/publica/inveyana/polisoc/horver/index.htm
2371#
2372# Here are the discrepancies between Shanks & Pottenger (S&P) and the MLoC.
2373# (In all cases we go with the MLoC.)
2374# S&P report that Baja was at -8:00 in 1922/1923.
2375# S&P say the 1930 transition in Baja was 1930-11-16.
2376# S&P report no DST during summer 1931.
2377# S&P report a transition at 1932-03-30 23:00, not 1932-04-01.
2378
2379# From Gwillim Law (2001-02-20):
2380# There are some other discrepancies between the Decrees page and the
2381# tz database.  I think they can best be explained by supposing that
2382# the researchers who prepared the Decrees page failed to find some of
2383# the relevant documents.
2384
2385# From Alan Perry (1996-02-15):
2386# A guy from our Mexico subsidiary finally found the Presidential Decree
2387# outlining the timezone changes in Mexico.
2388#
2389# ------------- Begin Forwarded Message -------------
2390#
2391# I finally got my hands on the Official Presidential Decree that sets up the
2392# rules for the DST changes. The rules are:
2393#
2394# 1. The country is divided in 3 timezones:
2395#    - Baja California Norte (the Mexico/BajaNorte TZ)
2396#    - Baja California Sur, Nayarit, Sinaloa and Sonora (the Mexico/BajaSur TZ)
2397#    - The rest of the country (the Mexico/General TZ)
2398#
2399# 2. From the first Sunday in April at 2:00 AM to the last Sunday in October
2400#    at 2:00 AM, the times in each zone are as follows:
2401#    BajaNorte: GMT+7
2402#    BajaSur:   GMT+6
2403#    General:   GMT+5
2404#

2745# Ensenada did not observe DST from 1948 through 1975.  Guy Harris reports
2746# that the 1987 OAG says "Only Ensenada, Mexicali, San Felipe and

2748# DST-observance was a town-by-town matter back then.  This concerns

3142# Haiti
3143# From Gwillim Law (2005-04-15):
3144# Risto O. Nykänen wrote me that Haiti is now on DST.
3145# I searched for confirmation, and I found a press release
3146# on the Web page of the Haitian Consulate in Chicago (2005-03-31),
3147# <http://www.haitianconsulate.org/time.doc>.  Translated from French, it says:
3148#
3149#  "The Prime Minister's Communication Office notifies the public in general
3150#   and the press in particular that, following a decision of the Interior
3151#   Ministry and the Territorial Collectivities [I suppose that means the
3152#   provinces], Haiti will move to Eastern Daylight Time in the night from next
3153#   Saturday the 2nd to Sunday the 3rd.
3154#
3155#  "Consequently, the Prime Minister's Communication Office wishes to inform
3156#   the population that the country's clocks will be set forward one hour
3157#   starting at midnight.  This provision will hold until the last Saturday in
3158#   October 2005.
3159#
3160#  "Port-au-Prince, March 31, 2005"
3161#
3162# From Steffen Thorsen (2006-04-04):
3163# I have been informed by users that Haiti observes DST this year like
3164# last year, so the current "only" rule for 2005 might be changed to a
3165# "max" rule or to last until 2006. (Who knows if they will observe DST
3166# next year or if they will extend their DST like US/Canada next year).
3167#
3168# I have found this article about it (in French):
3169# http://www.haitipressnetwork.com/news.cfm?articleID=7612
3170#
3171# The reason seems to be an energy crisis.

3173# From Stephen Colebourne (2007-02-22):
3174# Some IATA info: Haiti won't be having DST in 2007.
3175

3177# According to several news sources, Haiti will observe DST this year,
3178# apparently using the same start and end date as USA/Canada.
3179# So this means they have already changed their time.

3187# Assume a US-style fall back as well.
3188
3189# From Steffen Thorsen (2013-03-10):
3190# It appears that Haiti is observing DST this year as well, same rules
