215d0e1406SMarcel Telka# From Paul Eggert (1999-03-31):
225d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Howse writes (pp 121-125) that time zones were invented by
235d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Professor Charles Ferdinand Dowd (1825-1904),
245d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Principal of Temple Grove Ladies' Seminary (Saratoga Springs, NY).
255d0e1406SMarcel Telka# His pamphlet "A System of National Time for Railroads" (1870)
265d0e1406SMarcel Telka# was the result of his proposals at the Convention of Railroad Trunk Lines
275d0e1406SMarcel Telka# in New York City (1869-10).  His 1870 proposal was based on Washington, DC,
285d0e1406SMarcel Telka# but in 1872-05 he moved the proposed origin to Greenwich.
295d0e1406SMarcel Telka
30a6c652dbSYuri Pankov# From Paul Eggert (2018-03-20):
315d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Dowd's proposal left many details unresolved, such as where to draw
325d0e1406SMarcel Telka# lines between time zones.  The key individual who made time zones
335d0e1406SMarcel Telka# work in the US was William Frederick Allen - railway engineer,
345d0e1406SMarcel Telka# managing editor of the Travelers' Guide, and secretary of the
355d0e1406SMarcel Telka# General Time Convention, a railway standardization group.  Allen
365d0e1406SMarcel Telka# spent months in dialogs with scientific and railway leaders,
375d0e1406SMarcel Telka# developed a workable plan to institute time zones, and presented it
385d0e1406SMarcel Telka# to the General Time Convention on 1883-04-11, saying that his plan
395d0e1406SMarcel Telka# meant "local time would be practically abolished" - a plus for
405d0e1406SMarcel Telka# railway scheduling.  By the next convention on 1883-10-11 nearly all
41a6c652dbSYuri Pankov# railroads had agreed and it took effect on 1883-11-18.  That Sunday
42a6c652dbSYuri Pankov# was called the "day of two noons", as some locations observed noon
43a6c652dbSYuri Pankov# twice.  Allen witnessed the transition in New York City, writing:
445d0e1406SMarcel Telka#
455d0e1406SMarcel Telka#   I heard the bells of St. Paul's strike on the old time.  Four
465d0e1406SMarcel Telka#   minutes later, obedient to the electrical signal from the Naval
475d0e1406SMarcel Telka#   Observatory ... the time-ball made its rapid descent, the chimes
485d0e1406SMarcel Telka#   of old Trinity rang twelve measured strokes, and local time was
495d0e1406SMarcel Telka#   abandoned, probably forever.
505d0e1406SMarcel Telka#
515d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Most of the US soon followed suit.  See:

595d0e1406SMarcel Telka# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
605d0e1406SMarcel Telka# A good source for time zone historical data in the US is
615d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Thomas G. Shanks, The American Atlas (5th edition),
625d0e1406SMarcel Telka# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (1991).
635d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Make sure you have the errata sheet; the book is somewhat useless without it.
645d0e1406SMarcel Telka# It is the source for most of the pre-1991 US entries below.
655d0e1406SMarcel Telka
665d0e1406SMarcel Telka# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-06):
675d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Daylight Saving Time was first suggested as a joke by Benjamin Franklin
685d0e1406SMarcel Telka# in his whimsical essay "An Economical Project for Diminishing the Cost
695d0e1406SMarcel Telka# of Light" published in the Journal de Paris (1784-04-26).
705d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Not everyone is happy with the results:
715d0e1406SMarcel Telka#
725d0e1406SMarcel Telka#	I don't really care how time is reckoned so long as there is some
735d0e1406SMarcel Telka#	agreement about it, but I object to being told that I am saving
745d0e1406SMarcel Telka#	daylight when my reason tells me that I am doing nothing of the kind.
755d0e1406SMarcel Telka#	I even object to the implication that I am wasting something
765d0e1406SMarcel Telka#	valuable if I stay in bed after the sun has risen.  As an admirer
775d0e1406SMarcel Telka#	of moonlight I resent the bossy insistence of those who want to
785d0e1406SMarcel Telka#	reduce my time for enjoying it.  At the back of the Daylight Saving
795d0e1406SMarcel Telka#	scheme I detect the bony, blue-fingered hand of Puritanism, eager
805d0e1406SMarcel Telka#	to push people into bed earlier, and get them up earlier, to make
815d0e1406SMarcel Telka#	them healthy, wealthy and wise in spite of themselves.

905d0e1406SMarcel Telka#
915d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Shanks says that DST was called "War Time" in the US in 1918 and 1919.
925d0e1406SMarcel Telka# However, DST was imposed by the Standard Time Act of 1918, which
935d0e1406SMarcel Telka# was the first nationwide legal time standard, and apparently
945d0e1406SMarcel Telka# time was just called "Standard Time" or "Daylight Saving Time".

1245d0e1406SMarcel Telka# From Arthur David Olson:
1255d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Before the Uniform Time Act of 1966 took effect in 1967, observance of
1265d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Daylight Saving Time in the US was by local option, except during wartime.
1275d0e1406SMarcel Telka
1285d0e1406SMarcel Telka# From Arthur David Olson (2000-09-25):
1295d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Last night I heard part of a rebroadcast of a 1945 Arch Oboler radio drama.
1305d0e1406SMarcel Telka# In the introduction, Oboler spoke of "Eastern Peace Time."
1315d0e1406SMarcel Telka# An AltaVista search turned up:

1335d0e1406SMarcel Telka# "When the time is announced over the radio now, it is 'Eastern Peace
1345d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Time' instead of the old familiar 'Eastern War Time.'  Peace is wonderful."
1355d0e1406SMarcel Telka# (August 1945) by way of confirmation.
1365ee0bd13SYuri Pankov#
1375ee0bd13SYuri Pankov# From Paul Eggert (2017-09-23):
1385ee0bd13SYuri Pankov# This was the V-J Day issue of the Clamdigger, a Rowayton, CT newsletter.
1395d0e1406SMarcel Telka
1405d0e1406SMarcel Telka# From Joseph Gallant citing
1415d0e1406SMarcel Telka# George H. Douglas, _The Early Days of Radio Broadcasting_ (1987):
1425d0e1406SMarcel Telka# At 7 P.M. (Eastern War Time) [on 1945-08-14], the networks were set
1435d0e1406SMarcel Telka# to switch to London for Attlee's address, but the American people
1445d0e1406SMarcel Telka# never got to hear his speech live. According to one press account,
1455d0e1406SMarcel Telka# CBS' Bob Trout was first to announce the word of Japan's surrender,
1465d0e1406SMarcel Telka# but a few seconds later, NBC, ABC and Mutual also flashed the word
1475d0e1406SMarcel Telka# of surrender, all of whom interrupting the bells of Big Ben in
1485d0e1406SMarcel Telka# London which were to precede Mr. Attlee's speech.
1495d0e1406SMarcel Telka
1505d0e1406SMarcel Telka# From Paul Eggert (2003-02-09): It was Robert St John, not Bob Trout.  From
1515d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Myrna Oliver's obituary of St John on page B16 of today's Los Angeles Times:
1525d0e1406SMarcel Telka#
1535d0e1406SMarcel Telka# ... a war-weary U.S. clung to radios, awaiting word of Japan's surrender.
1545d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Any announcement from Asia would reach St. John's New York newsroom on a
1555d0e1406SMarcel Telka# wire service teletype machine, which had prescribed signals for major news.
1565d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Associated Press, for example, would ring five bells before spewing out
1575d0e1406SMarcel Telka# typed copy of an important story, and 10 bells for news "of transcendental
1585d0e1406SMarcel Telka# importance."
1595d0e1406SMarcel Telka#
1605d0e1406SMarcel Telka# On Aug. 14, stalling while talking steadily into the NBC networks' open
1615d0e1406SMarcel Telka# microphone, St. John heard five bells and waited only to hear a sixth bell,
1625d0e1406SMarcel Telka# before announcing confidently: "Ladies and gentlemen, World War II is over.
1635d0e1406SMarcel Telka# The Japanese have agreed to our surrender terms."
1645d0e1406SMarcel Telka#
1655d0e1406SMarcel Telka# He had scored a 20-second scoop on other broadcasters.
1665d0e1406SMarcel Telka
1675d0e1406SMarcel Telka# From Arthur David Olson (2005-08-22):
1685d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Paul has been careful to use the "US" rules only in those locations
1695d0e1406SMarcel Telka# that are part of the United States; this reflects the real scope of
1705d0e1406SMarcel Telka# U.S. government action.  So even though the "US" rules have changed
1715d0e1406SMarcel Telka# in the latest release, other countries won't be affected.

376121e6e16SYuri Pankov# From Paul Eggert (2018-01-07):
377121e6e16SYuri Pankov# In 1869 the Chicago Astronomical Society contracted with the city to keep
378121e6e16SYuri Pankov# time.  Though delayed by the Great Fire, by 1880 a wire ran from the
379121e6e16SYuri Pankov# Dearborn Observatory (on the University of Chicago campus) to City Hall,
380121e6e16SYuri Pankov# which then sent signals to police and fire stations.  However, railroads got
381121e6e16SYuri Pankov# their time signals from the Allegheny Observatory, the Madison Observatory,
382121e6e16SYuri Pankov# the Ann Arbor Observatory, etc., so their clocks did not agree with each
383121e6e16SYuri Pankov# other or with the city's official time.  The confusion took some years to

4208a907646SAndy Fiddaman# the same day....  In the 1950s as the state legislature was grappling with
4218a907646SAndy Fiddaman# the question of whether to approve daylight saving time for the entire state,
4228a907646SAndy Fiddaman# TIME magazine reported:
4238a907646SAndy Fiddaman#
4248a907646SAndy Fiddaman# "'The Nashville Banner and The Nashville Tennessean rarely agree on anything

4268a907646SAndy Fiddaman#
4278a907646SAndy Fiddaman# "It was all too true. The clock on the front of the building had two faces -
4288a907646SAndy Fiddaman# The Tennessean side of the building facing west, the other, east.  When it
4298a907646SAndy Fiddaman# was high noon Banner time, it was 11 a.m. Tennessean time."

4745d0e1406SMarcel Telka# ...according to the Census Bureau, the largest city is Beulah (although
4755d0e1406SMarcel Telka# it's commonly referred to as Beulah-Hazen, with Hazen being the next
4765d0e1406SMarcel Telka# largest city in Mercer County).  Google Maps places Beulah's city hall
477a6c652dbSYuri Pankov# at 47° 15' 51" N, 101° 46' 40" W, which yields an offset of 6h47'07".

491454249adSAndy Fiddaman# From Paul Eggert (2018-10-25):
492454249adSAndy Fiddaman# On 1921-03-04 federal law placed all of Texas into the central time zone.
493454249adSAndy Fiddaman# However, El Paso ignored the law for decades and continued to observe
494454249adSAndy Fiddaman# mountain time, on the grounds that that's what they had always done
495454249adSAndy Fiddaman# and they weren't about to let the federal government tell them what to do.
496454249adSAndy Fiddaman# Eventually the federal government gave in and changed the law on
497454249adSAndy Fiddaman# 1970-04-10 to match what El Paso was actually doing.  Although
498454249adSAndy Fiddaman# that's slightly after our 1970 cutoff, there is no need to create a

5275d0e1406SMarcel Telka# In early February 1948, in response to California's electricity shortage,
5285d0e1406SMarcel Telka# PG&E changed power frequency from 60 to 59.5 Hz during daylight hours,
5295d0e1406SMarcel Telka# causing electric clocks to lose six minutes per day.  (This did not change

5345d0e1406SMarcel Telka#
5355d0e1406SMarcel Telka# In another measure to save electricity, DST was instituted from 1948-03-14
5365d0e1406SMarcel Telka# at 02:01 to 1949-01-16 at 02:00, with the governor having the option to move

5415d0e1406SMarcel Telka#
5425d0e1406SMarcel Telka#   Governor Warren received a torrent of objecting mail, and it is not too much
5435d0e1406SMarcel Telka#   to speculate that the objections to Daylight Saving Time were one important
5445d0e1406SMarcel Telka#   factor in the defeat of the Dewey-Warren Presidential ticket in California.
5455d0e1406SMarcel Telka#     -- Ross, p 25
5465d0e1406SMarcel Telka#
5475d0e1406SMarcel Telka# On December 8 the governor exercised the option, setting the date to January 1
5485d0e1406SMarcel Telka# (LA Times 1948-12-09).  The transition time was 02:00 (LA Times 1949-01-01).
5495d0e1406SMarcel Telka#
5505d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Despite the controversy, in 1949 California voters approved Proposition 12,
5515d0e1406SMarcel Telka# which established DST from April's last Sunday at 01:00 until September's
5525d0e1406SMarcel Telka# last Sunday at 02:00. This was amended by 1962's Proposition 6, which changed
5535d0e1406SMarcel Telka# the fall-back date to October's last Sunday. See:

5735d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Howse writes that Alaska switched from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar,
5745d0e1406SMarcel Telka# and from east-of-GMT to west-of-GMT days, when the US bought it from Russia.
5755ee0bd13SYuri Pankov# On Friday, 1867-10-18 (Gregorian), at precisely 15:30 local time, the
5765ee0bd13SYuri Pankov# Russian forts and fleet at Sitka fired salutes to mark the ceremony of
5775ee0bd13SYuri Pankov# formal transfer.  See the Sacramento Daily Union (1867-11-14), p 3, col 2.

5795ee0bd13SYuri Pankov# Sitka workers did not change their calendars until Sunday, 1867-10-20,
5805ee0bd13SYuri Pankov# and so celebrated two Sundays that week.  See: Ahllund T (tr Hallamaa P).

5835ee0bd13SYuri Pankov# Include only the time zone part of this transition, ignoring the switch
5845ee0bd13SYuri Pankov# from Julian to Gregorian, since we can't represent the Julian calendar.
5855d0e1406SMarcel Telka#
5865ee0bd13SYuri Pankov# As far as we know, of the locations mentioned below only Sitka was
5875d0e1406SMarcel Telka# permanently inhabited in 1867 by anyone using either calendar.
5885ee0bd13SYuri Pankov# (Yakutat was colonized by the Russians in 1799, but the settlement was
5895ee0bd13SYuri Pankov# destroyed in 1805 by a Yakutat-kon war party.)  Many of Alaska's inhabitants
5905ee0bd13SYuri Pankov# were unaware of the US acquisition of Alaska, much less of any calendar or
5915ee0bd13SYuri Pankov# time change.  However, the Russian-influenced part of Alaska did observe
5925ee0bd13SYuri Pankov# Russian time, and it is more accurate to model this than to ignore it.
5935ee0bd13SYuri Pankov# The database format requires an exact transition time; use the Russian
5945ee0bd13SYuri Pankov# salute as a somewhat-arbitrary time for the formal transfer of control for
5955ee0bd13SYuri Pankov# all of Alaska.  Sitka's UTC offset is -9:01:13; adjust its 15:30 to the
5965ee0bd13SYuri Pankov# local times of other Alaskan locations so that they change simultaneously.

6125d0e1406SMarcel Telka#
6135d0e1406SMarcel Telka# On September 20 [1979]...DOT...officials decreed that on April 27,
6145d0e1406SMarcel Telka# 1980, Juneau and other nearby communities would move to Yukon Time.
6155d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Sitka, Petersburg, Wrangell, and Ketchikan, however, would remain on
6165d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Pacific Time.
6175d0e1406SMarcel Telka#
6185d0e1406SMarcel Telka# ...on September 22, 1980, DOT Secretary Neil E. Goldschmidt rescinded the
6195d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Department's September 1979 decision. Juneau and other communities in
6205d0e1406SMarcel Telka# northern Southeast reverted to Pacific Time on October 26.
6215d0e1406SMarcel Telka#
6225d0e1406SMarcel Telka# On October 28 [1983]...the Metlakatla Indian Community Council voted

6245d0e1406SMarcel Telka#
6255d0e1406SMarcel Telka# According to DOT official Joanne Petrie, Indian reservations are not

11365d0e1406SMarcel Telka# From Rives McDow (2000-08-30):
11375d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Here ... are all the changes in the US since 1985.
11385d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Kearny County, KS (put all of county on central;
11395d0e1406SMarcel Telka#	previously split between MST and CST) ... 1990-10
11405d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Starke County, IN (from CST to EST) ... 1991-10
11415d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Oliver County, ND (from MST to CST) ... 1992-10
11425d0e1406SMarcel Telka# West Wendover, NV (from PST TO MST) ... 1999-10
11435d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Wayne County, KY (from CST to EST) ... 2000-10
11445d0e1406SMarcel Telka#
11455d0e1406SMarcel Telka# From Paul Eggert (2001-07-17):
11465d0e1406SMarcel Telka# We don't know where the line used to be within Kearny County, KS,
11475d0e1406SMarcel Telka# so omit that change for now.
11485d0e1406SMarcel Telka# See America/Indiana/Knox for the Starke County, IN change.
11495d0e1406SMarcel Telka# See America/North_Dakota/Center for the Oliver County, ND change.
11505d0e1406SMarcel Telka# West Wendover, NV officially switched from Pacific to mountain time on
11515d0e1406SMarcel Telka# 1999-10-31.  See the
11525d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Federal Register 64, 203 (1999-10-21), pp 56705-56707.
11535ee0bd13SYuri Pankov# https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-1999-10-21/html/99-27240.htm
11545d0e1406SMarcel Telka# However, the Federal Register says that West Wendover already operated
11555d0e1406SMarcel Telka# on mountain time, and the rule merely made this official;
11565d0e1406SMarcel Telka# hence a separate tz entry is not needed.

11595d0e1406SMarcel Telka#
11605d0e1406SMarcel Telka# From Bob Devine (1988-01-28):
11615d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Michigan didn't observe DST from 1968 to 1973.
11625d0e1406SMarcel Telka#
11635d0e1406SMarcel Telka# From Paul Eggert (1999-03-31):
11645d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Shanks writes that Michigan started using standard time on 1885-09-18,
11655d0e1406SMarcel Telka# but Howse writes (pp 124-125, referring to Popular Astronomy, 1901-01)
11665d0e1406SMarcel Telka# that Detroit kept
11675d0e1406SMarcel Telka#
11685d0e1406SMarcel Telka#	local time until 1900 when the City Council decreed that clocks should
11695d0e1406SMarcel Telka#	be put back twenty-eight minutes to Central Standard Time.  Half the
11705d0e1406SMarcel Telka#	city obeyed, half refused.  After considerable debate, the decision
11715d0e1406SMarcel Telka#	was rescinded and the city reverted to Sun time.  A derisive offer to
11725d0e1406SMarcel Telka#	erect a sundial in front of the city hall was referred to the
11735d0e1406SMarcel Telka#	Committee on Sewers.  Then, in 1905, Central time was adopted
11745d0e1406SMarcel Telka#	by city vote.
11755d0e1406SMarcel Telka#
11765d0e1406SMarcel Telka# This story is too entertaining to be false, so go with Howse over Shanks.
11775d0e1406SMarcel Telka#
11785d0e1406SMarcel Telka# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-06):
11795d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Garland (1927) writes "Cleveland and Detroit advanced their clocks
11805d0e1406SMarcel Telka# one hour in 1914."  This change is not in Shanks.  We have no more
11815d0e1406SMarcel Telka# info, so omit this for now.
11825d0e1406SMarcel Telka#
11838a907646SAndy Fiddaman# From Paul Eggert (2019-07-06):
11848a907646SAndy Fiddaman# Due to a complicated set of legal maneuvers, in 1967 Michigan did
11858a907646SAndy Fiddaman# not start daylight saving time when the rest of the US did.
11868a907646SAndy Fiddaman# Instead, it began DST on Jun 14 at 00:01.  This was big news:
11878a907646SAndy Fiddaman# the Detroit Free Press reported it at the top of Page 1 on
11888a907646SAndy Fiddaman# 1967-06-14, in an article "State Adjusting to Switch to Fast Time"
11898a907646SAndy Fiddaman# by Gary Blonston, above an article about Thurgood Marshall's
11908a907646SAndy Fiddaman# confirmation to the US Supreme Court.  Although Shanks says Detroit
11918a907646SAndy Fiddaman# observed DST until 1967-10-29 00:01, that time of day seems to be
11928a907646SAndy Fiddaman# incorrect, as the Free Press later said DST ended in Michigan at the
11938a907646SAndy Fiddaman# same time as the rest of the US.  Also, although Shanks reports no DST in
11948a907646SAndy Fiddaman# Detroit in 1968, it did observe DST that year; in the November 1968
11958a907646SAndy Fiddaman# election Michigan voters narrowly repealed DST, effective 1969.
11965ee0bd13SYuri Pankov#
11975d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Most of Michigan observed DST from 1973 on, but was a bit late in 1975.

13735d0e1406SMarcel Telka# she quotes the Friday November 1/1918 edition of the Creston Review.
13745d0e1406SMarcel Telka# The quote includes these two statements:
13755d0e1406SMarcel Telka# 'Sunday the CPR went back to the old system of time...'
13765d0e1406SMarcel Telka# '... The daylight saving scheme was dropped all over Canada at the same time,'
13775d0e1406SMarcel Telka# These statements refer to a transition from daylight time to standard time
13785d0e1406SMarcel Telka# that occurred nationally on Sunday October 27/1918.  This transition was
13795d0e1406SMarcel Telka# also documented in the Saturday October 26/1918 edition of the Toronto Star.
13805d0e1406SMarcel Telka
13815d0e1406SMarcel Telka# In light of that evidence, we alter the date from the earlier believed
13825d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Oct 31, to Oct 27, 1918 (and Sunday is a more likely transition day
13835d0e1406SMarcel Telka# than Thursday) in all Canadian rulesets.

14945d0e1406SMarcel Telka# From Paul Eggert (2015-07-20):
14955d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Shanks & Pottenger write that since 1970 most of this region has been like

15064dcbd0a1SAndy Fiddaman# (Legal Time Act, CQLR c T-5.1), but the legislative debates surrounding that
15074dcbd0a1SAndy Fiddaman# bill say that it is "accommodating the customs and practices" of those

16115d0e1406SMarcel Telka# [According to the Toronto Star] Orillia, Ontario, adopted DST
16125d0e1406SMarcel Telka# effective Saturday, 1912-06-22, 22:00; the article mentions that
16135d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Port Arthur (now part of Thunder Bay, Ontario) as well as Moose Jaw
16145d0e1406SMarcel Telka# have already done so.  In Orillia DST was to run until Saturday,
16155d0e1406SMarcel Telka# 1912-08-31 (no time mentioned), but it was met with considerable
16165d0e1406SMarcel Telka# hostility from certain segments of the public, and was revoked after
16175d0e1406SMarcel Telka# only two weeks - I copied it as Saturday, 1912-07-07, 22:00, but
16185d0e1406SMarcel Telka# presumably that should be -07-06.  (1912-06-19, -07-12; also letters

16205d0e1406SMarcel Telka#
16215d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Kenora, Ontario, was to abandon DST on 1914-06-01 (-05-21).

16335d0e1406SMarcel Telka#
16345d0e1406SMarcel Telka#     The one-hour setback will go into effect throughout most of Ontario,
16355d0e1406SMarcel Telka#     except in areas like Windsor which remains on standard time all year.

17865d0e1406SMarcel Telka# From Mark Brader (2003-07-26):
17875d0e1406SMarcel Telka# The first actual adoption of DST in Canada was at the municipal
17885d0e1406SMarcel Telka# level.  As the [Toronto] Star put it (1912-06-07), "While people
17895d0e1406SMarcel Telka# elsewhere have long been talking of legislation to save daylight,
17905d0e1406SMarcel Telka# the city of Moose Jaw [Saskatchewan] has acted on its own hook."
17915d0e1406SMarcel Telka# DST in Moose Jaw began on Saturday, 1912-06-01 (no time mentioned:
17925d0e1406SMarcel Telka# presumably late evening, as below), and would run until "the end of
17935d0e1406SMarcel Telka# the summer".  The discrepancy between municipal time and railroad
17945d0e1406SMarcel Telka# time was noted.

18028a907646SAndy Fiddaman# unfortunately.  It also says that in 1914 Saskatoon observed DST
18038a907646SAndy Fiddaman# from 1 June to 6 July, and that DST was also tried out in Davidson,

18065d0e1406SMarcel Telka# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
18075d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Shanks & Pottenger say that since 1970 this region has mostly been as Regina.
18085d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Some western towns (e.g. Swift Current) switched from MST/MDT to CST in 1972.
18095d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Other western towns (e.g. Lloydminster) are like Edmonton.
18105d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Matthews and Vincent (1998) write that Denare Beach and Creighton
18115d0e1406SMarcel Telka# are like Winnipeg, in violation of Saskatchewan law.

18135d0e1406SMarcel Telka# From W. Jones (1992-11-06):
18145d0e1406SMarcel Telka# The. . .below is based on information I got from our law library, the
18155d0e1406SMarcel Telka# provincial archives, and the provincial Community Services department.
18165d0e1406SMarcel Telka# A precise history would require digging through newspaper archives, and
18175d0e1406SMarcel Telka# since you didn't say what you wanted, I didn't bother.
18185d0e1406SMarcel Telka#
18195d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Saskatchewan is split by a time zone meridian (105W) and over the years
18205d0e1406SMarcel Telka# the boundary became pretty ragged as communities near it reevaluated
18215d0e1406SMarcel Telka# their affiliations in one direction or the other.  In 1965 a provincial
18225d0e1406SMarcel Telka# referendum favoured legislating common time practices.
18235d0e1406SMarcel Telka#
18245d0e1406SMarcel Telka# On 15 April 1966 the Time Act (c. T-14, Revised Statutes of
18255d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Saskatchewan 1978) was proclaimed, and established that the eastern
18265d0e1406SMarcel Telka# part of Saskatchewan would use CST year round, that districts in
18275d0e1406SMarcel Telka# northwest Saskatchewan would by default follow CST but could opt to
18285d0e1406SMarcel Telka# follow Mountain Time rules (thus 1 hour difference in the winter and
18295d0e1406SMarcel Telka# zero in the summer), and that districts in southwest Saskatchewan would
18305d0e1406SMarcel Telka# by default follow MT but could opt to follow CST.
18315d0e1406SMarcel Telka#
18325d0e1406SMarcel Telka# It took a few years for the dust to settle (I know one story of a town
18335d0e1406SMarcel Telka# on one time zone having its school in another, such that a mom had to
18345d0e1406SMarcel Telka# serve her family lunch in two shifts), but presently it seems that only
18355d0e1406SMarcel Telka# a few towns on the border with Alberta (e.g. Lloydminster) follow MT
18365d0e1406SMarcel Telka# rules any more; all other districts appear to have used CST year round
18375d0e1406SMarcel Telka# since sometime in the 1960s.

18395d0e1406SMarcel Telka# From Chris Walton (2006-06-26):
18405d0e1406SMarcel Telka# The Saskatchewan time act which was last updated in 1996 is about 30 pages
18415d0e1406SMarcel Telka# long and rather painful to read.

20205d0e1406SMarcel Telka#
20215d0e1406SMarcel Telka# I tried to trace the history of Yukon time and found the following
20225d0e1406SMarcel Telka# regulations, giving the reference title and URL if found, regulation name,
20235d0e1406SMarcel Telka# and relevant quote if available.  Each regulation specifically revokes its
20245d0e1406SMarcel Telka# predecessor.  The final reference is to the current Interpretation Act
20255d0e1406SMarcel Telka# authorizing and resulting from these regulatory changes.
20265d0e1406SMarcel Telka#
20275d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Only recent regulations were retrievable via Yukon government site search or
20285d0e1406SMarcel Telka# index, and only some via Canadian legal sources.  Other sources used include
20295d0e1406SMarcel Telka# articles titled "Standard Time and Time Zones in Canada" from JRASC via ADS
20305d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Abstracts, cited by ADO for 1932 ..., and updated versions from 1958 and
20315d0e1406SMarcel Telka# 1970 quoted below; each article includes current extracts from provincial
20325d0e1406SMarcel Telka# and territorial ST and DST regulations at the end, summaries and details of
20335d0e1406SMarcel Telka# standard times and daylight saving time at many locations across Canada,
20345d0e1406SMarcel Telka# with time zone maps, tables and calculations for Canadian Sunrise, Sunset,
20355d0e1406SMarcel Telka# and LMST; they also cover many countries and global locations, with a chart

21515ee0bd13SYuri Pankov# From <http://www.nunatsiaqonline.ca/archives/nunavut001130/nvt21110_02.html>
21525d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Nunavut now has two time zones (2000-11-10):
21535d0e1406SMarcel Telka# The Nunavut government would allow its employees in Kugluktuk and
21545d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Cambridge Bay to operate on central time year-round, putting them
21555d0e1406SMarcel Telka# one hour behind the rest of Nunavut for six months during the winter.
21565d0e1406SMarcel Telka# At the end of October the two communities had rebelled against
21575d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Nunavut's unified time zone, refusing to shift to eastern time with
21585d0e1406SMarcel Telka# the rest of the territory for the winter.  Cambridge Bay remained on
21595d0e1406SMarcel Telka# central time, while Kugluktuk, even farther west, reverted to
21605d0e1406SMarcel Telka# mountain time, which they had used before the advent of Nunavut's
21615d0e1406SMarcel Telka# unified time zone in 1999.

21685d0e1406SMarcel Telka
21695d0e1406SMarcel Telka# From Rives McDow (2001-03-07):
21705d0e1406SMarcel Telka# The premier of Nunavut has issued a ministerial statement advising
21715d0e1406SMarcel Telka# that effective 2001-04-01, the territory of Nunavut will revert
21725d0e1406SMarcel Telka# back to three time zones (mountain, central, and eastern).  Of the
21735d0e1406SMarcel Telka# cities in Nunavut, Coral Harbor is the only one that I know of that
21745d0e1406SMarcel Telka# has said it will not observe dst, staying on EST year round.  I'm
21755d0e1406SMarcel Telka# checking for more info, and will get back to you if I come up with

21795d0e1406SMarcel Telka# From Gwillim Law (2005-05-21):
21805d0e1406SMarcel Telka# According to ...
21815d0e1406SMarcel Telka# http://www.canadiangeographic.ca/Magazine/SO98/geomap.asp
21825d0e1406SMarcel Telka# (from a 1998 Canadian Geographic article), the de facto and de jure time
21835d0e1406SMarcel Telka# for Southampton Island (at the north end of Hudson Bay) is UTC-5 all year
21845d0e1406SMarcel Telka# round.  Using Google, it's easy to find other websites that confirm this.
21855d0e1406SMarcel Telka# I wasn't able to find how far back this time regimen goes, but since it
21865d0e1406SMarcel Telka# predates the creation of Nunavut, it probably goes back many years....
21875d0e1406SMarcel Telka# The Inuktitut name of Coral Harbour is Sallit, but it's rarely used.
21885d0e1406SMarcel Telka#
21895d0e1406SMarcel Telka# From Paul Eggert (2014-10-17):
21905d0e1406SMarcel Telka# For lack of better information, assume that Southampton Island observed
21915d0e1406SMarcel Telka# daylight saving only during wartime.  Gwillim Law's email also
21925d0e1406SMarcel Telka# mentioned maps now maintained by National Research Council Canada;

21955d0e1406SMarcel Telka# From Chris Walton (2007-03-01):
21965d0e1406SMarcel Telka# ... the community of Resolute (located on Cornwallis Island in
21975d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Nunavut) moved from Central Time to Eastern Time last November.
21985d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Basically the community did not change its clocks at the end of
21995d0e1406SMarcel Telka# daylight saving....

22025d0e1406SMarcel Telka# From Chris Walton (2011-03-21):
22035d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Back in 2007 I initiated the creation of a new "zone file" for Resolute
22045d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Bay. Resolute Bay is a small community located about 900km north of
22055d0e1406SMarcel Telka# the Arctic Circle. The zone file was required because Resolute Bay had
22065d0e1406SMarcel Telka# decided to use UTC-5 instead of UTC-6 for the winter of 2006-2007.
22075d0e1406SMarcel Telka#
22085d0e1406SMarcel Telka# According to new information which I received last week, Resolute Bay
22095d0e1406SMarcel Telka# went back to using UTC-6 in the winter of 2007-2008...
22105d0e1406SMarcel Telka#
22115d0e1406SMarcel Telka# On March 11/2007 most of Canada went onto daylight saving. On March
22125d0e1406SMarcel Telka# 14/2007 I phoned the Resolute Bay hamlet office to do a "time check." I
22135d0e1406SMarcel Telka# talked to somebody that was both knowledgeable and helpful. I was able
22145d0e1406SMarcel Telka# to confirm that Resolute Bay was still operating on UTC-5. It was
22155d0e1406SMarcel Telka# explained to me that Resolute Bay had been on the Eastern Time zone
22165d0e1406SMarcel Telka# (EST) in the winter, and was now back on the Central Time zone (CDT).
22175d0e1406SMarcel Telka# i.e. the time zone had changed twice in the last year but the clocks
22185d0e1406SMarcel Telka# had not moved. The residents had to know which time zone they were in
22195d0e1406SMarcel Telka# so they could follow the correct TV schedule...
22205d0e1406SMarcel Telka#
22215d0e1406SMarcel Telka# On Nov 02/2008 most of Canada went onto standard time. On Nov 03/2008 I
22225d0e1406SMarcel Telka# phoned the Resolute Bay hamlet office...[D]ue to the challenging nature
22235d0e1406SMarcel Telka# of the phone call, I decided to seek out an alternate source of
22245d0e1406SMarcel Telka# information. I found an e-mail address for somebody by the name of
22255d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Stephanie Adams whose job was listed as "Inns North Support Officer for
22265d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Arctic Co-operatives." I was under the impression that Stephanie lived
22275d0e1406SMarcel Telka# and worked in Resolute Bay...
22285d0e1406SMarcel Telka#
22295d0e1406SMarcel Telka# On March 14/2011 I phoned the hamlet office again. I was told that
22305d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Resolute Bay had been using Central Standard Time over the winter of
22315d0e1406SMarcel Telka# 2010-2011 and that the clocks had therefore been moved one hour ahead
22325d0e1406SMarcel Telka# on March 13/2011. The person I talked to was aware that Resolute Bay
22335d0e1406SMarcel Telka# had previously experimented with Eastern Standard Time but he could not
22345d0e1406SMarcel Telka# tell me when the practice had stopped.
22355d0e1406SMarcel Telka#
22365d0e1406SMarcel Telka# On March 17/2011 I searched the Web to find an e-mail address of
22375d0e1406SMarcel Telka# somebody that might be able to tell me exactly when Resolute Bay went
22385d0e1406SMarcel Telka# off Eastern Standard Time. I stumbled on the name "Aziz Kheraj." Aziz
22395d0e1406SMarcel Telka# used to be the mayor of Resolute Bay and he apparently owns half the
22405d0e1406SMarcel Telka# businesses including "South Camp Inn." This website has some info on
22415d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Aziz:
22425d0e1406SMarcel Telka# http://www.uphere.ca/node/493
22435d0e1406SMarcel Telka#

27445d0e1406SMarcel Telka# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
27455d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Formerly there was an America/Ensenada zone, which differed from
27465d0e1406SMarcel Telka# America/Tijuana only in that it did not observe DST from 1976
27475d0e1406SMarcel Telka# through 1995.  This was as per Shanks (1999).  But Shanks & Pottenger say
27485d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Ensenada did not observe DST from 1948 through 1975.  Guy Harris reports
27495d0e1406SMarcel Telka# that the 1987 OAG says "Only Ensenada, Mexicali, San Felipe and
27505d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Tijuana observe DST," which agrees with Shanks & Pottenger but implies that
27515d0e1406SMarcel Telka# DST-observance was a town-by-town matter back then.  This concerns
27525d0e1406SMarcel Telka# data after 1970 so most likely there should be at least one Zone
27535d0e1406SMarcel Telka# other than America/Tijuana for Baja, but it's not clear yet what its
27545d0e1406SMarcel Telka# name or contents should be.

30895d0e1406SMarcel Telka# The article also says that Cuba has been observing DST since 1963,
30905d0e1406SMarcel Telka# while Shanks (and tzdata) has 1965 as the first date (except in the

30935d0e1406SMarcel Telka# which is not present in tzdata/Shanks. So there is a chance we need to

35675d0e1406SMarcel Telka# From Chris Walton (2014-11-04):
35685d0e1406SMarcel Telka# ... the TCI government appears to have delayed the switch to
35695d0e1406SMarcel Telka# "permanent daylight saving time" by one year....

35725ee0bd13SYuri Pankov# From the Turks & Caicos Cabinet (2017-07-20), heads-up from Steffen Thorsen:
35735ee0bd13SYuri Pankov# ... agreed to the reintroduction in TCI of Daylight Saving Time (DST)
35745ee0bd13SYuri Pankov# during the summer months and Standard Time, also known as Local
35755ee0bd13SYuri Pankov# Time, during the winter months with effect from April 2018 ...

35785ee0bd13SYuri Pankov# The date of effect of the spring 2018 change appears to be March 11,
35795ee0bd13SYuri Pankov# which makes more sense.  See: Hamilton D. Time change back

3590c5580037SRobert Mustacchi# From Tim Parenti (2020-12-05):
3591c5580037SRobert Mustacchi# Although L.N. 31/2017 reads that it "shall come into operation at 2:00 a.m.
3592c5580037SRobert Mustacchi# on 11th March 2018", a precise interpretation here poses some problems.  The
3593c5580037SRobert Mustacchi# order states that "the standard time to be observed throughout the Turks and
3594c5580037SRobert Mustacchi# Caicos Islands shall be the same time zone as the Eastern United States of
3595c5580037SRobert Mustacchi# America" and further clarifies "[f]or the avoidance of doubt" that it
3596c5580037SRobert Mustacchi# "applies to the Eastern Standard Time as well as any changes thereto for
3597c5580037SRobert Mustacchi# Daylight Saving Time."  However, as clocks in Turks and Caicos approached
3598c5580037SRobert Mustacchi# 02:00 -04, and thus the declared implementation time, it was still 01:00 EST
3599c5580037SRobert Mustacchi# (-05), as DST in the Eastern US would not start until an hour later.
3600c5580037SRobert Mustacchi#
3601c5580037SRobert Mustacchi# Since it is unlikely that those on the islands switched their clocks twice in
3602c5580037SRobert Mustacchi# the span of an hour, we assume instead that the adoption of EDT actually took
3603c5580037SRobert Mustacchi# effect once clocks in the Eastern US had sprung forward, from 03:00 -04.
3604c5580037SRobert Mustacchi# This discrepancy only affects the time zone abbreviation and DST flag for the
3605c5580037SRobert Mustacchi# intervening hour, not wall clock times, as -04 was maintained throughout.
