|
# From Paul Eggert (2014-10-31):
|
|
|
|
# This file contains data outside the normal scope of the tz database,
|
|
# in that its zones do not differ from normal tz zones after 1970.
|
|
# Links in this file point to zones in this file, superseding links in
|
|
# the file 'backward'.
|
|
|
|
# Although zones in this file may be of some use for analyzing
|
|
# pre-1970 timestamps, they are less reliable, cover only a tiny
|
|
# sliver of the pre-1970 era, and cannot feasibly be improved to cover
|
|
# most of the era. Because the zones are out of normal scope for the
|
|
# database, less effort is put into maintaining this file. Many of
|
|
# the zones were formerly in other source files, but were removed or
|
|
# replaced by links as their data entries were questionable and/or they
|
|
# differed from other zones only in pre-1970 timestamps.
|
|
|
|
# Unless otherwise specified, the source for data through 1990 is:
|
|
# Thomas G. Shanks and Rique Pottenger, The International Atlas (6th edition),
|
|
# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (2003).
|
|
# Unfortunately this book contains many errors and cites no sources.
|
|
|
|
# This file is not intended to be compiled standalone, as it
|
|
# assumes rules from other files. In the tz distribution, use

# 'make PACKRATDATA=backzone zones' to compile and install this file.

|
|
# From Paul Eggert (2020-04-15):
|
|
# The following remarks should be incorporated into this table sometime.
|
|
# Patches in 'git format-patch' format would be welcome.
|
|
#
|
|
# From Phake Nick (2020-04-15):
|
|
# ... the historical timezone data for those China zones seems to be
|
|
# incorrect. The transition to GMT+8 date given there for these zones
|
|
# were 1980 which also contradict the file description that they do
|
|
# not disagree with normal zone after 1970. According to sources that
|
|
# have also been cited in the asia file, except Xinjiang and Tibet,
|
|
# they should have adopted the Beijing Time from around 1949/1950
|
|
# depends on exactly when each of those cities were taken over by the
|
|
# communist army. And they should also follow the DST setting of
|
|
# Asia/Shanghai after that point of time. In addition,
|
|
# http://gaz.ncl.edu.tw/detail.jsp?sysid=E1091792 the document from
|
|
# Chongqing Nationalist government say in year 1945 all of China
|
|
# should adopt summer time due to the war (not sure whether it
|
|
# continued after WWII ends)(Probably only enforced in area under
|
|
# their rule at the time?) The Asia/Harbin's 1932 and 1940 entry
|
|
# should also be incorrect. As per sources recorded at

|
|
# , in 1932 Harbin should have adopted UTC+8:00 instead of data
|
|
# currently listed in the tz database according to official

# Like the Swahili of Kenya and Tanzania, many Ethiopians keep a

# 02:00 or 14:00. Keep this in mind when you ask the time in Amharic.

#

# Shanks & Pottenger write that Ethiopia had six narrowly spaced time

# zones between 1870 and 1890, that they merged to 38E50 (2:35:20) in
|
|
# 1890, and that they switched to 3:00 on 1936-05-05. Perhaps 38E50
|
|
# was for Adis Dera. Quite likely the Shanks data entries are wrong

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

# From Chris Walton (2011-12-01):
|
|
# There are two areas within the Canadian province of British Columbia
|
|
# that do not currently observe daylight saving:
|
|
# a) The Creston Valley (includes the town of Creston and surrounding area)
|
|
# b) The eastern half of the Peace River Regional District
|
|
# (includes the cities of Dawson Creek and Fort St. John)
|
|
|
|
# Earlier this year I stumbled across a detailed article about the time
|
|
# keeping history of Creston; it was written by Tammy Hardwick who is the
|
|
# manager of the Creston & District Museum. The article was written in May 2009.
|
|
# http://www.ilovecreston.com/?p=articles&t=spec&ar=260
|
|
# According to the article, Creston has not changed its clocks since June 1918.
|
|
# i.e. Creston has been stuck on UT-7 for 93 years.
|
|
# Dawson Creek, on the other hand, changed its clocks as recently as April 1972.
|
|
|
|
# Unfortunately the exact date for the time change in June 1918 remains
|
|
# unknown and will be difficult to ascertain. I e-mailed Tammy a few months
|
|
# ago to ask if Sunday June 2 was a reasonable guess. She said it was just
|
|
# as plausible as any other date (in June). She also said that after writing
|
|
# the article she had discovered another time change in 1916; this is the
|
|
# subject of another article which she wrote in October 2010.
|
|
# http://www.creston.museum.bc.ca/index.php?module=comments&uop=view_comment&cm+id=56
|
|
|
|
# Here is a summary of the three clock change events in Creston's history:
|
|
# 1. 1884 or 1885: adoption of Mountain Standard Time (GMT-7)
|
|
# Exact date unknown
|
|
# 2. Oct 1916: switch to Pacific Standard Time (GMT-8)
|
|
# Exact date in October unknown; Sunday October 1 is a reasonable guess.
|
|
# 3. June 1918: switch to Pacific Daylight Time (GMT-7)
|
|
# Exact date in June unknown; Sunday June 2 is a reasonable guess.
|
|
# note 1:
|
|
# On Oct 27/1918 when daylight saving ended in the rest of Canada,
|
|
# Creston did not change its clocks.
|
|
# note 2:
|
|
# During WWII when the Federal Government legislated a mandatory clock change,
|
|
# Creston did not oblige.
|
|
# note 3:
|
|
# There is no guarantee that Creston will remain on Mountain Standard Time
|
|
# (UTC-7) forever.
|
|
# The subject was debated at least once this year by the town Council.
|
|
# http://www.bclocalnews.com/kootenay_rockies/crestonvalleyadvance/news/116760809.html
|
|
|
|
# During a period WWII, summer time (Daylight saying) was mandatory in Canada.
|
|
# In Creston, that was handled by shifting the area to PST (-8:00) then applying
|
|
# summer time to cause the offset to be -7:00, the same as it had been before
|
|
# the change. It can be argued that the timezone abbreviation during this
|
|
# period should be PDT rather than MST, but that doesn't seem important enough
|
|
# (to anyone) to further complicate the rules.
|
|
|
|
# The transition dates (and times) are guesses.

#

# From Rives McDow (1999-11-08):
|
|
# On October 31, when the rest of Nunavut went to Central time,
|
|
# Pangnirtung wobbled. Here is the result of their wobble:
|
|
#
|
|
# The following businesses and organizations in Pangnirtung use Central Time:
|
|
#
|
|
# First Air, Power Corp, Nunavut Construction, Health Center, RCMP,
|
|
# Eastern Arctic National Parks, A & D Specialist
|
|
#
|
|
# The following businesses and organizations in Pangnirtung use Eastern Time:
|
|
#
|
|
# Hamlet office, All other businesses, Both schools, Airport operator
|
|
#
|
|
# This has made for an interesting situation there, which warranted the news.
|
|
# No one there that I spoke with seems concerned, or has plans to
|
|
# change the local methods of keeping time, as it evidently does not
|
|
# really interfere with any activities or make things difficult locally.
|
|
# They plan to celebrate New Year's turn-over twice, one hour apart,
|
|
# so it appears that the situation will last at least that long.
|
|
# The Nunavut Intergovernmental Affairs hopes that they will "come to
|
|
# their senses", but the locals evidently don't see any problem with
|
|
# the current state of affairs.
|
|
|
|
# From Michaela Rodrigue, writing in the
|
|
# Nunatsiaq News (1999-11-19):

|
# http://www.nunatsiaqonline.ca/archives/nunavut991130/nvt91119_17.html
|
|
# Clyde River, Pangnirtung and Sanikiluaq now operate with two time zones,
|
|
# central - or Nunavut time - for government offices, and eastern time
|
|
# for municipal offices and schools.... Igloolik [was similar but then]
|
|
# made the switch to central time on Saturday, Nov. 6.
|
|
|
|
# From Chris Walton (2022-11-06):
|
|
# The implication is that Pangnirtung and Qikiqtarjuaq have observed Eastern
|
|
# Time as far back as 1984 (and likely even further back than that).
|
|
# It is possible that these communities never actually observed Atlantic
|
|
# Time, but that would be difficult to prove.
|
|
# From Paul Eggert (2022-11-06):
|
|
# This is in 'backzone' as we have no good evidence that Pangnirtung differs
|
|
# from America/Iqaluit since 1970. A Google Books snippet view of
|
|
# volume 2, page 186 of "Pilot of Arctic Canada", published 1959 by
|

|

|
|
#
|
|
# From David Bryan via Tory Tronrud, Director/Curator,
|
|
# Thunder Bay Museum (2003-11-12):
|
|
# There is some suggestion, however, that, by-law or not, daylight
|
|
# savings time was being practiced in Fort William and Port Arthur
|
|
# before 1909.... [I]n 1910, the line between the Eastern and Central
|
|
# Time Zones was permanently moved about two hundred miles west to
|
|
# include the Thunder Bay area.... When Canada adopted daylight

|
# savings time in 1916, Fort William and Port Arthur, having done so

# According to the [Shanks] atlas, those western Ontario zones are huge,

# covering most of Ontario northwest of Sault Ste Marie and Timmins.

# The zones seem to include towns bigger than the ones they're named after,

# Vostok, which is one of the Russian stations, is set on the same

|

#
|
|
# From Lee Hotz (2001-03-08):
|
|
# I queried the folks at Columbia who spent the summer at Vostok and this is
|
|
# what they had to say about time there:
|
|
# "in the US Camp (East Camp) we have been on New Zealand (McMurdo)
|
|
# time, which is 12 hours ahead of GMT. The Russian Station Vostok was
|
|
# 6 hours behind that (although only 2 miles away, i.e. 6 hours ahead
|
|
# of GMT). This is a time zone I think two hours east of Moscow. The
|
|
# natural time zone is in between the two: 8 hours ahead of GMT."

|
#
|
|
# From Paul Eggert (2001-05-04):
|
|
# This seems to be hopelessly confusing, so I asked Lee Hotz about it
|
|
# in person. He said that some Antarctic locations set their local
|
|
# time so that noon is the warmest part of the day, and that this
|
|
# changes during the year and does not necessarily correspond to mean
|
|
# solar noon. So the Vostok time might have been whatever the clocks
|
|
# happened to be during their visit. So we still don't really know what time

# it is at Vostok. But we'll guess +06.

# Stewart writes that before 1941 some companies in Bahrain were at +0330 and
|
|
# others at +0323. Reginald George Alban, a British political agent based in
|
|
# Manama, worked to standardize this, and from 1941-07-20 Bahrain was at
|
|
# +0330. However, BOAC asked that clocks be moved to gain more light at day's

|
|
# +0330 was used by steamers of the British India Co, by Petroleum Concessions

|
# and by Cable & Wireless; +0323 was used by the Eastern Bank Ltd, BOAC, and
|
|
# Bahrein Petroleum (Bapco), and California Arabian Standard Oil Co (Casoc)
|
|
# adopted DST effective 1941-05-24. Alban suggested adopting DST, R.B. Coomb

|
|
# of Bapco) stated that Bahrain had formerly used +0330 before Bapco arrived
|
|
# but Bapco switched to +0323 because of "constant confusion", the consensus
|
|
# was +0330. The government adopted +0330 in 1941-07-20 and companies seem to
|
|
# have switched by 08-01. No time of day was given for the 1940s transitions.

# From an adoptive daughter of the late Cambodian ruler Prince Sihanouk,
|
|
# via Alois Treindl (2019-08-08):
|
|
#
|
|
# King Sihanouk said that, during the Japanese occupation, starting with
|
|
# what historians refer to as "le coup de force du 9 mars 1945", Cambodia,
|
|
# like the entire French Indochina, used Tokyo time zone. After Japan
|
|
# surrendered, 2 September 1945, Cambodia fell under French rule again and
|
|
# adopted Hanoi time zone again.
|
|
#
|
|
# However, on 7 January 1946, Sihanouk and Tioulong managed to obtain a
|
|
# status of "internal autonomy" from the government of Charles de Gaulle.
|
|
# Although many fields remained under the administration of the French
|
|
# (customs, taxes, justice, defence, foreign affairs, etc.), the Cambodian
|
|
# administration was responsible for religious matters and traditional
|
|
# celebrations, which included our calendar and time. The time zone was GMT
|
|
# + 7 and _no_ DST was applied.
|
|
#
|
|
# After Sihanouk and Tioulong achieved full independence, on 9 November 1953,
|
|
# GMT + 7 was maintained.

# Iceland
|
|
#
|
|
# From Adam David (1993-11-06):
|
|
# The name of the timezone in Iceland for system / mail / news purposes is GMT.
|
|
#
|
|
# (1993-12-05):
|
|
# This material is paraphrased from the 1988 edition of the University of
|
|
# Iceland Almanak.
|
|
#
|
|
# From January 1st, 1908 the whole of Iceland was standardised at 1 hour
|
|
# behind GMT. Previously, local mean solar time was used in different parts
|
|
# of Iceland, the almanak had been based on Reykjavík mean solar time which
|
|
# was 1 hour and 28 minutes behind GMT.
|
|
#
|
|
# "first day of winter" referred to [below] means the first day of the 26 weeks
|
|
# of winter, according to the old icelandic calendar that dates back to the
|
|
# time the norsemen first settled Iceland. The first day of winter is always
|
|
# Saturday, but is not dependent on the Julian or Gregorian calendars.
|
|
#
|
|
# (1993-12-10):
|
|
# I have a reference from the Oxford Icelandic-English dictionary for the
|
|
# beginning of winter, which ties it to the ecclesiastical calendar (and thus
|
|
# to the julian/gregorian calendar) over the period in question.
|
|
# the winter begins on the Saturday next before St. Luke's day
|
|
# (old style), or on St. Luke's day, if a Saturday.
|
|
# St. Luke's day ought to be traceable from ecclesiastical sources. "old style"
|
|
# might be a reference to the Julian calendar as opposed to Gregorian, or it
|
|
# might mean something else (???).

# Netherlands
|
|
|
|
# Howse writes that the Netherlands' railways used GMT between 1892 and 1940,
|
|
# but for other purposes the Netherlands used Amsterdam mean time.
|
|
|
|
# However, Robert H. van Gent writes (2001-04-01):
|
|
# Howse's statement is only correct up to 1909. From 1909-05-01 (00:00:00
|
|
# Amsterdam mean time) onwards, the whole of the Netherlands (including
|
|
# the Dutch railways) was required by law to observe Amsterdam mean time
|
|
# (19 minutes 32.13 seconds ahead of GMT). This had already been the
|
|
# common practice (except for the railways) for many decades but it was
|
|
# not until 1909 when the Dutch government finally defined this by law.
|
|
# On 1937-07-01 this was changed to 20 minutes (exactly) ahead of GMT and
|
|
# was generally known as Dutch Time ("Nederlandse Tijd").
|
|
#
|
|
# (2001-04-08):
|
|
# 1892-05-01 was the date when the Dutch railways were by law required to
|
|
# observe GMT while the remainder of the Netherlands adhered to the common
|
|
# practice of following Amsterdam mean time.
|
|
#
|
|
# (2001-04-09):
|
|
# In 1835 the authorities of the province of North Holland requested the
|
|
# municipal authorities of the towns and cities in the province to observe
|
|
# Amsterdam mean time but I do not know in how many cases this request was
|
|
# actually followed.
|
|
#
|
|
# From 1852 onwards the Dutch telegraph offices were by law required to
|
|
# observe Amsterdam mean time. As the time signals from the observatory of
|
|
# Leiden were also distributed by the telegraph system, I assume that most
|
|
# places linked up with the telegraph (and railway) system automatically
|
|
# adopted Amsterdam mean time.
|
|
#
|
|
# Although the early Dutch railway companies initially observed a variety
|
|
# of times, most of them had adopted Amsterdam mean time by 1858 but it
|
|
# was not until 1866 when they were all required by law to observe
|
|
# Amsterdam mean time.

# From Jesper Nørgaard Welen (2005-04-26):
|
|
# the law [introducing standard time] was in effect from 1894-01-01....
|
|
# The page https://www.retsinformation.dk/eli/lta/1893/83
|
|
# confirms this, and states that the law was put forth 1893-03-29.
|
|
#
|
|
# The EU [actually, EEC and Euratom] treaty with effect from 1973:
|
|
# https://www.retsinformation.dk/eli/lta/1972/21100
|
|
#
|
|
# This provoked a new law from 1974 to make possible summer time changes
|
|
# in subsequent decrees with the law
|
|
# https://www.retsinformation.dk/eli/lta/1974/223
|
|
#
|
|
# It seems however that no decree was set forward until 1980. I have
|
|
# not found any decree, but in another related law, the effecting DST
|
|
# changes are stated explicitly to be from 1980-04-06 at 02:00 to
|
|
# 1980-09-28 at 02:00. If this is true, this differs slightly from
|
|
# the EU rule in that DST runs to 02:00, not 03:00. We don't know
|
|
# when Denmark began using the EU rule correctly, but we have only
|
|
# confirmation of the 1980-time, so I presume it was correct in 1981:
|
|
# The law is about the management of the extra hour, concerning
|
|
# working hours reported and effect on obligatory-rest rules (which
|
|
# was suspended on that night):

|

# From Jesper Nørgaard Welen (2005-06-11):
|
|
# The Herning Folkeblad (1980-09-26) reported that the night between
|
|
# Saturday and Sunday the clock is set back from three to two.
|
|
|
|
# From Paul Eggert (2005-06-11):
|
|
# Hence the "02:00" of the 1980 law refers to standard time, not
|

# wall-clock time, and so the EU rules were in effect in 1980.

# Sweden
|
|
|
|
# From Ivan Nilsson (2001-04-13), superseding Shanks & Pottenger:
|
|
#
|
|
# The law "Svensk författningssamling 1878, no 14" about standard time in 1879:
|
|
# From the beginning of 1879 (that is 01-01 00:00) the time for all
|
|
# places in the country is "the mean solar time for the meridian at
|
|
# three degrees, or twelve minutes of time, to the west of the
|
|
# meridian of the Observatory of Stockholm". The law is dated 1878-05-31.
|
|
#
|
|
# The observatory at that time had the meridian 18° 03' 30"
|
|
# eastern longitude = 01:12:14 in time. Less 12 minutes gives the
|
|
# national standard time as 01:00:14 ahead of GMT....
|
|
#
|
|
# About the beginning of CET in Sweden. The lawtext ("Svensk
|
|
# författningssamling 1899, no 44") states, that "from the beginning
|
|
# of 1900... ... the same as the mean solar time for the meridian at
|
|
# the distance of one hour of time from the meridian of the English
|
|
# observatory at Greenwich, or at 12 minutes 14 seconds to the west
|
|
# from the meridian of the Observatory of Stockholm". The law is dated
|
|
# 1899-06-16. In short: At 1900-01-01 00:00:00 the new standard time
|
|
# in Sweden is 01:00:00 ahead of GMT.
|
|
#
|
|
# 1916: The lawtext ("Svensk författningssamling 1916, no 124") states
|
|
# that "1916-05-15 is considered to begin one hour earlier". It is
|
|
# pretty obvious that at 05-14 23:00 the clocks are set to 05-15 00:00....
|
|
# Further the law says, that "1916-09-30 is considered to end one hour later".
|
|
#
|
|
# The laws regulating [DST] are available on the site of the Swedish
|
|
# Parliament beginning with 1985 - the laws regulating 1980/1984 are
|
|
# not available on the site (to my knowledge they are only available
|
|
# in Swedish): <http://www.riksdagen.se/english/work/sfst.asp> (type

|
|
#
|
|
# (2001-05-13):
|
|
#
|
|
# I have now found a newspaper stating that at 1916-10-01 01:00
|
|
# summertime the church-clocks etc were set back one hour to show
|
|
# 1916-10-01 00:00 standard time. The article also reports that some
|
|
# people thought the switch to standard time would take place already
|
|
# at 1916-10-01 00:00 summer time, but they had to wait for another
|
|
# hour before the event took place.

# From Paul Eggert (2022-08-16):
|
|
# Although Shanks & Pottenger say Saipan used +09 and then switched
|
|
# to Guam time in October 1969, this is surely wrong.
|
|
# Saipan used Guam time in the late 1950s; see page 4 of the minutes on the
|
|
# conference of the 12th Saipan Legislature and the Select Committee on
|
|
# Saipan Mission, 5th Guam Legislature (1959-09-11):

|
# For now, assume Saipan switched to Guam time after the Battle of Saipan.

# From Vernice Anderson, Personal Secretary to Philip Jessup,

|
# US Ambassador At Large (oral history interview, 1971-02-02):
|
|
#
|
|
# Saturday, the 14th [of October, 1950] - ... The time was all the
|
|
# more confusing at that point, because we had crossed the
|
|
# International Date Line, thus getting two Sundays. Furthermore, we
|
|
# discovered that Wake Island had two hours of daylight saving time
|
|
# making calculation of time in Washington difficult if not almost
|
|
# impossible.
