His 1870 proposal was based on Washington, DC, 282386db68SMarcel Telka# but in 1872-05 he moved the proposed origin to Greenwich. 292386db68SMarcel Telka 30006fe326SYuri Pankov# From Paul Eggert (2018-03-20): 312386db68SMarcel Telka# Dowd's proposal left many details unresolved, such as where to draw 322386db68SMarcel Telka# lines between time zones. The key individual who made time zones 332386db68SMarcel Telka# work in the US was William Frederick Allen - railway engineer, 342386db68SMarcel Telka# managing editor of the Travelers' Guide, and secretary of the 352386db68SMarcel Telka# General Time Convention, a railway standardization group. Allen 362386db68SMarcel Telka# spent months in dialogs with scientific and railway leaders, 372386db68SMarcel Telka# developed a workable plan to institute time zones, and presented it 382386db68SMarcel Telka# to the General Time Convention on 1883-04-11, saying that his plan 392386db68SMarcel Telka# meant "local time would be practically abolished" - a plus for 402386db68SMarcel Telka# railway scheduling. By the next convention on 1883-10-11 nearly all 41006fe326SYuri Pankov# railroads had agreed and it took effect on 1883-11-18. That Sunday 42006fe326SYuri Pankov# was called the "day of two noons", as some locations observed noon 43006fe326SYuri Pankov# twice. Allen witnessed the transition in New York City, writing: 442386db68SMarcel Telka# 452386db68SMarcel Telka# I heard the bells of St. Paul's strike on the old time. Four 462386db68SMarcel Telka# minutes later, obedient to the electrical signal from the Naval 472386db68SMarcel Telka# Observatory ... the time-ball made its rapid descent, the chimes 482386db68SMarcel Telka# of old Trinity rang twelve measured strokes, and local time was 492386db68SMarcel Telka# abandoned, probably forever. 502386db68SMarcel Telka# 512386db68SMarcel Telka# Most of the US soon followed suit.

Shanks, The American Atlas (5th edition), 622386db68SMarcel Telka# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (1991). 632386db68SMarcel Telka# Make sure you have the errata sheet; the book is somewhat useless without it. 642386db68SMarcel Telka# It is the source for most of the pre-1991 US entries below. 652386db68SMarcel Telka 662386db68SMarcel Telka# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-06): 672386db68SMarcel Telka# Daylight Saving Time was first suggested as a joke by Benjamin Franklin 682386db68SMarcel Telka# in his whimsical essay "An Economical Project for Diminishing the Cost 692386db68SMarcel Telka# of Light" published in the Journal de Paris (1784-04-26). 702386db68SMarcel Telka# Not everyone is happy with the results: 712386db68SMarcel Telka# 722386db68SMarcel Telka# I don't really care how time is reckoned so long as there is some 732386db68SMarcel Telka# agreement about it, but I object to being told that I am saving 742386db68SMarcel Telka# daylight when my reason tells me that I am doing nothing of the kind. 752386db68SMarcel Telka# I even object to the implication that I am wasting something 762386db68SMarcel Telka# valuable if I stay in bed after the sun has risen. As an admirer 772386db68SMarcel Telka# of moonlight I resent the bossy insistence of those who want to 782386db68SMarcel Telka# reduce my time for enjoying it. At the back of the Daylight Saving 792386db68SMarcel Telka# scheme I detect the bony, blue-fingered hand of Puritanism, eager 802386db68SMarcel Telka# to push people into bed earlier, and get them up earlier, to make 812386db68SMarcel Telka# them healthy, wealthy and wise in spite of themselves. 822386db68SMarcel Telka# 832386db68SMarcel Telka# -- Robertson Davies, The diary of Samuel Marchbanks, 842386db68SMarcel Telka# Clarke, Irwin (1947), XIX, Sunday 852386db68SMarcel Telka# 862386db68SMarcel Telka# For more about the first ten years of DST in the United States, see 872386db68SMarcel Telka# Robert Garland, Ten years of daylight saving from the Pittsburgh standpoint 882386db68SMarcel Telka# (Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, 1927). 892386db68SMarcel Telka# http://www.clpgh.org/exhibit/dst.html 902386db68SMarcel Telka# 912386db68SMarcel Telka# Shanks says that DST was called "War Time" in the US in 1918 and 1919. 922386db68SMarcel Telka# However, DST was imposed by the Standard Time Act of 1918, which 932386db68SMarcel Telka# was the first nationwide legal time standard, and apparently 942386db68SMarcel Telka# time was just called "Standard Time" or "Daylight Saving Time". 952386db68SMarcel Telka 962386db68SMarcel Telka# From Arthur David Olson: 972386db68SMarcel Telka# US Daylight Saving Time ended on the last Sunday of *October* in 1974. 982386db68SMarcel Telka# See, for example, the front page of the Saturday, 1974-10-26 992386db68SMarcel Telka# and Sunday, 1974-10-27 editions of the Washington Post. 1002386db68SMarcel Telka 1012386db68SMarcel Telka# From Arthur David Olson: 1022386db68SMarcel Telka# Before the Uniform Time Act of 1966 took effect in 1967, observance of 1032386db68SMarcel Telka# Daylight Saving Time in the US was by local option, except during wartime. 1042386db68SMarcel Telka 1052386db68SMarcel Telka# From Arthur David Olson (2000-09-25): 1062386db68SMarcel Telka# Last night I heard part of a rebroadcast of a 1945 Arch Oboler radio drama. 1072386db68SMarcel Telka# In the introduction, Oboler spoke of "Eastern Peace Time." 1082386db68SMarcel Telka# An AltaVista search turned up: 109f34ea95cSYuri Pankov# https://web.archive.org/web/20000926032210/http://rowayton.org/rhs/hstaug45.html 1102386db68SMarcel Telka# "When the time is announced over the radio now, it is 'Eastern Peace 1112386db68SMarcel Telka# Time' instead of the old familiar 'Eastern War Time.'

Douglas, _The Early Days of Radio Broadcasting_ (1987): 1192386db68SMarcel Telka# At 7 P.M. (Eastern War Time) [on 1945-08-14], the networks were set 1202386db68SMarcel Telka# to switch to London for Attlee's address, but the American people 1212386db68SMarcel Telka# never got to hear his speech live. According to one press account, 1222386db68SMarcel Telka# CBS' Bob Trout was first to announce the word of Japan's surrender, 1232386db68SMarcel Telka# but a few seconds later, NBC, ABC and Mutual also flashed the word 1242386db68SMarcel Telka# of surrender, all of whom interrupting the bells of Big Ben in 1252386db68SMarcel Telka# London which were to precede Mr. Attlee's speech. 1262386db68SMarcel Telka 1272386db68SMarcel Telka# From Paul Eggert (2003-02-09): It was Robert St John, not Bob Trout. From 1282386db68SMarcel Telka# Myrna Oliver's obituary of St John on page B16 of today's Los Angeles Times: 1292386db68SMarcel Telka# 1302386db68SMarcel Telka# ... a war-weary U.S. clung to radios, awaiting word of Japan's surrender. 1312386db68SMarcel Telka# Any announcement from Asia would reach St. John's New York newsroom on a 1322386db68SMarcel Telka# wire service teletype machine, which had prescribed signals for major news. 1332386db68SMarcel Telka# Associated Press, for example, would ring five bells before spewing out 1342386db68SMarcel Telka# typed copy of an important story, and 10 bells for news "of transcendental 1352386db68SMarcel Telka# importance." 1362386db68SMarcel Telka# 1372386db68SMarcel Telka# On Aug. 14, stalling while talking steadily into the NBC networks' open 1382386db68SMarcel Telka# microphone, St. John heard five bells and waited only to hear a sixth bell, 1392386db68SMarcel Telka# before announcing confidently: "Ladies and gentlemen, World War II is over. 1402386db68SMarcel Telka# The Japanese have agreed to our surrender terms." 1412386db68SMarcel Telka# 1422386db68SMarcel Telka# He had scored a 20-second scoop on other broadcasters. 1432386db68SMarcel Telka 1442386db68SMarcel Telka# From Arthur David Olson (2005-08-22): 1452386db68SMarcel Telka# Paul has been careful to use the "US" rules only in those locations 1462386db68SMarcel Telka# that are part of the United States; this reflects the real scope of 1472386db68SMarcel Telka# U.S. government action. So even though the "US" rules have changed 1482386db68SMarcel Telka# in the latest release, other countries won't be affected. 1492386db68SMarcel Telka 1502386db68SMarcel Telka# Rule NAME FROM TO TYPE IN ON AT SAVE LETTER/S 1512386db68SMarcel TelkaRule US 1918 1919 - Mar lastSun 2:00 1:00 D 1522386db68SMarcel TelkaRule US 1918 1919 - Oct lastSun 2:00 0 S 1532386db68SMarcel TelkaRule US 1942 only - Feb 9 2:00 1:00 W # War 1542386db68SMarcel TelkaRule US 1945 only - Aug 14 23:00u 1:00 P # Peace 1552386db68SMarcel TelkaRule US 1945 only - Sep lastSun 2:00 0 S 1562386db68SMarcel TelkaRule US 1967 2006 - Oct lastSun 2:00 0 S 1572386db68SMarcel TelkaRule US 1967 1973 - Apr lastSun 2:00 1:00 D 1582386db68SMarcel TelkaRule US 1974 only - Jan 6 2:00 1:00 D 1592386db68SMarcel TelkaRule US 1975 only - Feb 23 2:00 1:00 D 1602386db68SMarcel TelkaRule US 1976 1986 - Apr lastSun 2:00 1:00 D 1612386db68SMarcel TelkaRule US 1987 2006 - Apr Sun>=1 2:00 1:00 D 1622386db68SMarcel TelkaRule US 2007 max - Mar Sun>=8 2:00 1:00 D 1632386db68SMarcel TelkaRule US 2007 max - Nov Sun>=1 2:00 0 S 1642386db68SMarcel Telka 1652386db68SMarcel Telka# From Arthur David Olson, 2005-12-19 1662386db68SMarcel Telka# We generate the files specified below to guard against old files with 1672386db68SMarcel Telka# obsolete information being left in the time zone binary directory. 1682386db68SMarcel Telka# We limit the list to names that have appeared in previous versions of 1692386db68SMarcel Telka# this time zone package. 1702386db68SMarcel Telka# We do these as separate Zones rather than as Links to avoid problems if 1712386db68SMarcel Telka# a particular place changes whether it observes DST. 1722386db68SMarcel Telka# We put these specifications here in the northamerica file both to 1732386db68SMarcel Telka# increase the chances that they'll actually get compiled and to 1742386db68SMarcel Telka# avoid the need to duplicate the US rules in another file. 1752386db68SMarcel Telka 1762386db68SMarcel Telka# Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] 1772386db68SMarcel TelkaZone EST -5:00 - EST 1782386db68SMarcel TelkaZone MST -7:00 - MST 1792386db68SMarcel TelkaZone HST -10:00 - HST 1802386db68SMarcel TelkaZone EST5EDT -5:00 US E%sT 1812386db68SMarcel TelkaZone CST6CDT -6:00 US C%sT 1822386db68SMarcel TelkaZone MST7MDT -7:00 US M%sT 1832386db68SMarcel TelkaZone PST8PDT -8:00 US P%sT 1842386db68SMarcel Telka 1852386db68SMarcel Telka# From U.

As the [Toronto] Star put it (1912-06-07), "While people 17972386db68SMarcel Telka# elsewhere have long been talking of legislation to save daylight, 17982386db68SMarcel Telka# the city of Moose Jaw [Saskatchewan] has acted on its own hook." 17992386db68SMarcel Telka# DST in Moose Jaw began on Saturday, 1912-06-01 (no time mentioned: 18002386db68SMarcel Telka# presumably late evening, as below), and would run until "the end of 18012386db68SMarcel Telka# the summer". The discrepancy between municipal time and railroad 18022386db68SMarcel Telka# time was noted. 18032386db68SMarcel Telka 18042386db68SMarcel Telka# From Paul Eggert (2003-07-27): 18052386db68SMarcel Telka# Willett (1914-03) notes that DST "has been in operation ... in the 18062386db68SMarcel Telka# City of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, for one year." 18072386db68SMarcel Telka 18082386db68SMarcel Telka# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22): 18092386db68SMarcel Telka# Shanks & Pottenger say that since 1970 this region has mostly been as Regina. 18102386db68SMarcel Telka# Some western towns (e.g. Swift Current) switched from MST/MDT to CST in 1972. 18112386db68SMarcel Telka# Other western towns (e.g. Lloydminster) are like Edmonton. 18122386db68SMarcel Telka# Matthews and Vincent (1998) write that Denare Beach and Creighton 18132386db68SMarcel Telka# are like Winnipeg, in violation of Saskatchewan law. 18142386db68SMarcel Telka 18152386db68SMarcel Telka# From W.

In 1965 a provincial 18242386db68SMarcel Telka# referendum favoured legislating common time practices. 18252386db68SMarcel Telka# 18262386db68SMarcel Telka# On 15 April 1966 the Time Act (c. T-14, Revised Statutes of 18272386db68SMarcel Telka# Saskatchewan 1978) was proclaimed, and established that the eastern 18282386db68SMarcel Telka# part of Saskatchewan would use CST year round, that districts in 18292386db68SMarcel Telka# northwest Saskatchewan would by default follow CST but could opt to 18302386db68SMarcel Telka# follow Mountain Time rules (thus 1 hour difference in the winter and 18312386db68SMarcel Telka# zero in the summer), and that districts in southwest Saskatchewan would 18322386db68SMarcel Telka# by default follow MT but could opt to follow CST. 18332386db68SMarcel Telka# 18342386db68SMarcel Telka# It took a few years for the dust to settle (I know one story of a town 18352386db68SMarcel Telka# on one time zone having its school in another, such that a mom had to 18362386db68SMarcel Telka# serve her family lunch in two shifts), but presently it seems that only 18372386db68SMarcel Telka# a few towns on the border with Alberta (e.g. Lloydminster) follow MT 18382386db68SMarcel Telka# rules any more;

June 1918: switch to Pacific Daylight Time (GMT-7) 19462386db68SMarcel Telka# Exact date in June unknown; Sunday June 2 is a reasonable guess. 19472386db68SMarcel Telka# note 1: 19482386db68SMarcel Telka# On Oct 27/1918 when daylight saving ended in the rest of Canada, 19492386db68SMarcel Telka# Creston did not change its clocks. 19502386db68SMarcel Telka# note 2: 19512386db68SMarcel Telka# During WWII when the Federal Government legislated a mandatory clock change, 19522386db68SMarcel Telka# Creston did not oblige. 19532386db68SMarcel Telka# note 3: 19542386db68SMarcel Telka# There is no guarantee that Creston will remain on Mountain Standard Time 19552386db68SMarcel Telka# (UTC-7) forever. 19562386db68SMarcel Telka# The subject was debated at least once this year by the town Council. 19572386db68SMarcel Telka# http://www.bclocalnews.com/kootenay_rockies/crestonvalleyadvance/news/116760809.html 19582386db68SMarcel Telka 19592386db68SMarcel Telka# During a period WWII, summer time (Daylight saying) was mandatory in Canada. 19602386db68SMarcel Telka# In Creston, that was handled by shifting the area to PST (-8:00) then applying 19612386db68SMarcel Telka# summer time to cause the offset to be -7:00, the same as it had been before 19622386db68SMarcel Telka# the change. It can be argued that the timezone abbreviation during this 19632386db68SMarcel Telka# period should be PDT rather than MST, but that doesn't seem important enough 19642386db68SMarcel Telka# (to anyone) to further complicate the rules. 19652386db68SMarcel Telka 19662386db68SMarcel Telka# The transition dates (and times) are guesses. 19672386db68SMarcel Telka 19682386db68SMarcel Telka# From Matt Johnson (2015-09-21): 19692386db68SMarcel Telka# Fort Nelson, BC, Canada will cancel DST this year.

Cambridge Bay remained on 21962386db68SMarcel Telka# central time, while Kugluktuk, even farther west, reverted to 21972386db68SMarcel Telka# mountain time, which they had used before the advent of Nunavut's 21982386db68SMarcel Telka# unified time zone in 1999. 21992386db68SMarcel Telka# 22002386db68SMarcel Telka# From Rives McDow (2001-01-20), quoting the Nunavut government: 22012386db68SMarcel Telka# The preceding decision came into effect at midnight, Saturday Nov 4, 2000. 22022386db68SMarcel Telka 22032386db68SMarcel Telka# From Paul Eggert (2000-12-04): 22042386db68SMarcel Telka# Let's just keep track of the official times for now. 22052386db68SMarcel Telka 22062386db68SMarcel Telka# From Rives McDow (2001-03-07): 22072386db68SMarcel Telka# The premier of Nunavut has issued a ministerial statement advising 22082386db68SMarcel Telka# that effective 2001-04-01, the territory of Nunavut will revert 22092386db68SMarcel Telka# back to three time zones (mountain, central, and eastern). Of the 22102386db68SMarcel Telka# cities in Nunavut, Coral Harbor is the only one that I know of that 22112386db68SMarcel Telka# has said it will not observe dst, staying on EST year round. I'm 22122386db68SMarcel Telka# checking for more info, and will get back to you if I come up with 22132386db68SMarcel Telka# more. 22142386db68SMarcel Telka# [Also see <http://www.nunatsiaq.com/nunavut/nvt10309_06.html> (2001-03-09).] 22152386db68SMarcel Telka 22162386db68SMarcel Telka# From Gwillim Law (2005-05-21): 22172386db68SMarcel Telka# According to ... 22182386db68SMarcel Telka# http://www.canadiangeographic.ca/Magazine/SO98/geomap.asp 22192386db68SMarcel Telka# (from a 1998 Canadian Geographic article), the de facto and de jure time 22202386db68SMarcel Telka# for Southampton Island (at the north end of Hudson Bay) is UTC-5 all year 22212386db68SMarcel Telka# round. Using Google, it's easy to find other websites that confirm this. 22222386db68SMarcel Telka# I wasn't able to find how far back this time regimen goes, but since it 22232386db68SMarcel Telka# predates the creation of Nunavut, it probably goes back many years.... 22242386db68SMarcel Telka# The Inuktitut name of Coral Harbour is Sallit, but it's rarely used. 22252386db68SMarcel Telka# 22262386db68SMarcel Telka# From Paul Eggert (2014-10-17): 22272386db68SMarcel Telka# For lack of better information, assume that Southampton Island observed 22282386db68SMarcel Telka# daylight saving only during wartime. Gwillim Law's email also 22292386db68SMarcel Telka# mentioned maps now maintained by National Research Council Canada; 22302386db68SMarcel Telka# see above for an up-to-date link. 22312386db68SMarcel Telka 22322386db68SMarcel Telka# From Chris Walton (2007-03-01): 22332386db68SMarcel Telka# ... the community of Resolute (located on Cornwallis Island in 22342386db68SMarcel Telka# Nunavut) moved from Central Time to Eastern Time last November. 22352386db68SMarcel Telka# Basically the community did not change its clocks at the end of 22362386db68SMarcel Telka# daylight saving.... 22372386db68SMarcel Telka# http://www.nnsl.com/frames/newspapers/2006-11/nov13_06none.html 22382386db68SMarcel Telka 22392386db68SMarcel Telka# From Chris Walton (2011-03-21): 22402386db68SMarcel Telka# Back in 2007 I initiated the creation of a new "zone file" for Resolute 22412386db68SMarcel Telka# Bay. Resolute Bay is a small community located about 900km north of 22422386db68SMarcel Telka# the Arctic Circle. The zone file was required because Resolute Bay had 22432386db68SMarcel Telka# decided to use UTC-5 instead of UTC-6 for the winter of 2006-2007. 22442386db68SMarcel Telka# 22452386db68SMarcel Telka# According to new information which I received last week, Resolute Bay 22462386db68SMarcel Telka# went back to using UTC-6 in the winter of 2007-2008... 22472386db68SMarcel Telka# 22482386db68SMarcel Telka# On March 11/2007 most of Canada went onto daylight saving. On March 22492386db68SMarcel Telka# 14/2007 I phoned the Resolute Bay hamlet office to do a "time check." I 22502386db68SMarcel Telka# talked to somebody that was both knowledgeable and helpful. I was able 22512386db68SMarcel Telka# to confirm that Resolute Bay was still operating on UTC-5. It was 22522386db68SMarcel Telka# explained to me that Resolute Bay had been on the Eastern Time zone 22532386db68SMarcel Telka# (EST) in the winter, and was now back on the Central Time zone (CDT). 22542386db68SMarcel Telka# i.e. the time zone had changed twice in the last year but the clocks 22552386db68SMarcel Telka# had not moved. The residents had to know which time zone they were in 22562386db68SMarcel Telka# so they could follow the correct TV schedule... 22572386db68SMarcel Telka# 22582386db68SMarcel Telka# On Nov 02/2008 most of Canada went onto standard time. On Nov 03/2008 I 22592386db68SMarcel Telka# phoned the Resolute Bay hamlet office...[D]ue to the challenging nature 22602386db68SMarcel Telka# of the phone call, I decided to seek out an alternate source of 22612386db68SMarcel Telka# information. I found an e-mail address for somebody by the name of 22622386db68SMarcel Telka# Stephanie Adams whose job was listed as "Inns North Support Officer for 22632386db68SMarcel Telka# Arctic Co-operatives." I was under the impression that Stephanie lived 22642386db68SMarcel Telka# and worked in Resolute Bay... 22652386db68SMarcel Telka# 22662386db68SMarcel Telka# On March 14/2011 I phoned the hamlet office again. I was told that 22672386db68SMarcel Telka# Resolute Bay had been using Central Standard Time over the winter of 22682386db68SMarcel Telka# 2010-2011 and that the clocks had therefore been moved one hour ahead 22692386db68SMarcel Telka# on March 13/2011. The person I talked to was aware that Resolute Bay 22702386db68SMarcel Telka# had previously experimented with Eastern Standard Time but he could not 22712386db68SMarcel Telka# tell me when the practice had stopped. 22722386db68SMarcel Telka# 22732386db68SMarcel Telka# On March 17/2011 I searched the Web to find an e-mail address of 22742386db68SMarcel Telka# somebody that might be able to tell me exactly when Resolute Bay went 22752386db68SMarcel Telka# off Eastern Standard Time. I stumbled on the name "Aziz Kheraj." Aziz 22762386db68SMarcel Telka# used to be the mayor of Resolute Bay and he apparently owns half the 22772386db68SMarcel Telka# businesses including "South Camp Inn." This website has some info on 22782386db68SMarcel Telka# Aziz: 22792386db68SMarcel Telka# http://www.uphere.ca/node/493 22802386db68SMarcel Telka# 22812386db68SMarcel Telka# I sent Aziz an e-mail asking when Resolute Bay had stopped using 22822386db68SMarcel Telka# Eastern Standard Time. 22832386db68SMarcel Telka# 22842386db68SMarcel Telka# Aziz responded quickly with this: "hi, The time was not changed for the 22852386db68SMarcel Telka# 1 year only, the following year, the community went back to the old way 22862386db68SMarcel Telka# of "spring ahead-fall behind" currently we are zulu plus 5 hrs and in 22872386db68SMarcel Telka# the winter Zulu plus 6 hrs" 22882386db68SMarcel Telka# 22892386db68SMarcel Telka# This of course conflicted with everything I had ascertained in November 2008. 22902386db68SMarcel Telka# 22912386db68SMarcel Telka# I sent Aziz a copy of my 2008 e-mail exchange with Stephanie. Aziz 22922386db68SMarcel Telka# responded with this: "Hi, Stephanie lives in Winnipeg. I live here, You 22932386db68SMarcel Telka# may want to check with the weather office in Resolute Bay or do a 22942386db68SMarcel Telka# search on the weather through Env.

This was as per Shanks (1999). But Shanks & Pottenger say 27452386db68SMarcel Telka# Ensenada did not observe DST from 1948 through 1975. Guy Harris reports 27462386db68SMarcel Telka# that the 1987 OAG says "Only Ensenada, Mexicali, San Felipe and 27472386db68SMarcel Telka# Tijuana observe DST," which agrees with Shanks & Pottenger but implies that 27482386db68SMarcel Telka# DST-observance was a town-by-town matter back then.
