|
|
|
# From Paul Eggert (1999-03-31):
|
|
# Howse writes (pp 121-125) that time zones were invented by
|
|
# Professor Charles Ferdinand Dowd (1825-1904),
|
|
# Principal of Temple Grove Ladies' Seminary (Saratoga Springs, NY).
|
|
# His pamphlet ``A System of National Time for Railroads'' (1870)
|
|
# was the result of his proposals at the Convention of Railroad Trunk Lines
|
|
# in New York City (1869-10). His 1870 proposal was based on Washington, DC,
|
|
# but in 1872-05 he moved the proposed origin to Greenwich.
|
|
# His proposal was adopted by the railroads on 1883-11-18 at 12:00,
|
|
# and the most of the country soon followed suit.
|
|
|
|
# From Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> (1995-12-19):
|
|
# A good source for time zone historical data in the US is
|
|
# Thomas G. Shanks, The American Atlas (5th edition),
|
|
# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (1991).
|
|
# Make sure you have the errata sheet; the book is somewhat useless without it.
|
|
# It is the source for the US and Puerto Rico entries below.
|
|
|
|
# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-06):
|
|
# Daylight Saving Time was first suggested as a joke by Benjamin Franklin
|
|
# in his whimsical essay ``An Economical Project for Diminishing the Cost
|
|
# of Light'' published in the Journal de Paris (1784-04-26).
|
|
# Not everyone is happy with the results:
|
|
#
|
|
# I don't really care how time is reckoned so long as there is some
|
|
# agreement about it, but I object to being told that I am saving
|
|
# daylight when my reason tells me that I am doing nothing of the kind.
|
|
# I even object to the implication that I am wasting something
|
|
# valuable if I stay in bed after the sun has risen. As an admirer
|
|
# of moonlight I resent the bossy insistence of those who want to
|
|
# reduce my time for enjoying it. At the back of the Daylight Saving
|
|
# scheme I detect the bony, blue-fingered hand of Puritanism, eager
|
|
# to push people into bed earlier, and get them up earlier, to make
|
|
# them healthy, wealthy and wise in spite of themselves.
|
|
#
|
|
# -- Robertson Davies, The Diary of Samuel Marchbanks (1947), XIX, Sunday

|
|
# For more about the first ten years of DST in the United States, see
|
|
# Robert Garland's <a href="http://www.clpgh.org/exhibit/dst.html">
|
|
# Ten years of daylight saving from the Pittsburgh standpoint
|
|
# (Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, 1927)</a>.
|
|
#
|
|
# Shanks says that DST was called "War Time" in the US in 1918 and 1919.
|
|
# However, DST was imposed by the Standard Time Act of 1918, which
|
|
# was the first nationwide legal time standard, and apparently
|
|
# time was just called "Standard Time" or "Daylight Saving Time".
|
|
|
|
# From Arthur David Olson:
|
|
# US Daylight Saving Time ended on the last Sunday of *October* in 1974.
|
|
# See, for example, the front page of the Saturday, 1974-10-26
|
|
# and Sunday, 1974-10-27 editions of the Washington Post.
|
|
|
|
# From Arthur David Olson:
|
|
# Before the Uniform Time Act of 1966 took effect in 1967, observance of
|
|
# Daylight Saving Time in the US was by local option, except during wartime.
|
|
|
|
# From Arthur David Olson (2000-09-25):
|
|
# Last night I heard part of a rebroadcast of a 1945 Arch Oboler radio drama.
|
|
# In the introduction, Oboler spoke of "Eastern Peace Time."
|
|
# An AltaVista search turned up
|
|
# <a href="http://rowayton.org/rhs/hstaug45.html">:
|
|
# "When the time is announced over the radio now, it is 'Eastern Peace
|
|
# Time' instead of the old familiar 'Eastern War Time.' Peace is wonderful."
|
|
# </a> (August 1945) by way of confirmation.
|
|
|
|
# From Joseph Gallant <notquite@hotmail.com>, citing
|
|
# George H. Douglas, _The Early Days of Radio Broadcasting_ (1987):
|
|
# At 7 P.M. (Eastern War Time) [on 1945-08-14], the networks were set
|
|
# to switch to London for Attlee's address, but the American people
|
|
# never got to hear his speech live. According to one press account,
|
|
# CBS' Bob Trout was first to announce the word of Japan's surrender,
|
|
# but a few seconds later, NBC, ABC and Mutual also flashed the word
|
|
# of surrender, all of whom interrupting the bells of Big Ben in
|
|
# London which were to precede Mr. Attlee's speech.
|
|
|
|
# From Paul Eggert (2003-02-09): It was Robert St John, not Bob Trout. From
|
|
# Myrna Oliver's obituary of St John on page B16 of today's Los Angeles Times:
|
|
#
|
|
# ... a war-weary U.S. clung to radios, awaiting word of Japan's surrender.
|
|
# Any announcement from Asia would reach St. John's New York newsroom on a
|
|
# wire service teletype machine, which had prescribed signals for major news.
|
|
# Associated Press, for example, would ring five bells before spewing out
|
|
# typed copy of an important story, and 10 bells for news "of transcendental
|
|
# importance."
|
|
#
|
|
# On Aug. 14, stalling while talking steadily into the NBC networks' open
|
|
# microphone, St. John heard five bells and waited only to hear a sixth bell,
|
|
# before announcing confidently: "Ladies and gentlemen, World War II is over.
|
|
# The Japanese have agreed to our surrender terms."
|
|
#
|
|
# He had scored a 20-second scoop on other broadcasters.

# Between 1944-01-01 and 1944-04-01 the State of Arizona used standard
|
|
# time, but by federal law railroads, airlines, bus lines, military
|
|
# personnel, and some engaged in interstate commerce continued to
|
|
# observe war (i.e., daylight saving) time. The 1944-03-17 Phoenix
|
|
# Gazette says that was the date the law changed, and that 04-01 was
|
|
# the date the state's clocks would change. In 1945 the State of
|
|
# Arizona used standard time all year, again with exceptions only as
|
|
# mandated by federal law. Arizona observed DST in 1967, but Arizona
|
|
# Laws 1968, ch. 183 (effective 1968-03-21) repealed DST.

# </a> (1999-04-06)
|
|
#
|
|
# From Paul Eggert (1995-12-19):
|
|
# Indiana generally observes either EST all year, or CST/CDT,
|
|
# but areas near Cincinnati and Louisville use those cities' timekeeping
|
|
# and in 1969 and 1970 the whole state observed daylight time;
|
|
# and there are other exceptions as noted below.
|
|
# Shanks partitions Indiana into 345 regions, each with its own time history,
|
|
# and writes ``Even newspaper reports present contradictory information.''
|
|
# Fortunately, most of the complexity occurred before our cutoff date of 1970.
|
|
#
|
|
# Since 1970, EST-only Indiana has been like America/Indianapolis,
|
|
# with exceptions noted below for Crawford, Starke, and Switzerland counties.
|
|
# The parts of Indiana not listed below have been like America/Chicago,
|
|
# America/Louisville, or America/New_York.
|
|
#
|
|
# Other than Indianapolis, the Indiana place names are so nondescript
|
|
# that they would be ambiguous if we left them at the `America' level.
|
|
# So we reluctantly put them all in a subdirectory `America/Indiana'.
|
|
#
|
|
# Most of EST-only Indiana last observed DST in 1970.
|
|
|
|
# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-06), following a tip by Markus Kuhn:
|
|
# Pam Belluck reported in the New York Times (2001-01-31) that the
|
|
# Indiana Legislature is considering a bill to adopt DST statewide.
|

# Her article mentioned Vevay, whose post office observes a different

# Shanks writes that Michigan started using standard time on 1885-09-18,

|
|
# that Detroit kept

|
#
|

# local time until 1900 when the City Council decreed that clocks should

# be put back twenty-eight minutes to Central Standard Time. Half the
|
|
# city obeyed, half refused. After considerable debate, the decision
|
|
# was rescinded and the city reverted to Sun time. A derisive offer to

|
# erect a sundial in front of the city hall was referred to the

|
# Committee on Sewers. Then, in 1905, Central time was adopted

|
# by city vote.

# This story is too entertaining to be false, so go with Howse over Shanks.

# Ontario, Quebec
|
|
|
|
# From Paul Eggert (1996-06-12):
|
|
# Shanks writes that since 1970 most of Ontario has been like Toronto,
|
|
# and most of Quebec has been like Montreal.
|
|
# Thunder Bay skipped DST in 1973.
|
|
# Many smaller locales did not observe peacetime DST until 1974;
|
|
# Nipigon (EST) and Rainy River (CST) are the largest that we know of.
|
|
# Far west Ontario is like Winnipeg; far east Quebec is like Halifax.
|
|
|
|
# From Mark Brader (2003-07-26):
|
|
# [According to the Toronto Star] Orillia, Ontario, adopted DST
|
|
# effective Saturday, 1912-06-22, 22:00; the article mentions that
|
|
# Port Arthur (now part of Thunder Bay, Ontario) as well as Moose Jaw
|
|
# have already done so. In Orillia DST was to run until Saturday,
|
|
# 1912-08-31 (no time mentioned), but it was met with considerable
|
|
# hostility from certain segments of the public, and was revoked after
|
|
# only two weeks -- I copied it as Saturday, 1912-07-07, 22:00, but
|
|
# presumably that should be -07-06. (1912-06-19, -07-12; also letters
|
|
# earlier in June).
|
|
#
|
|
# Kenora, Ontario, was to abandon DST on 1914-06-01 (-05-21).
|
|
|
|
# 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
|
|
# <a href="http://www.gov.on.ca/MBS/english/publications/statregs/conttext.html">
|
|
# Ontario Time Act (1990, Chapter T.9)
|
|
# </a>
|
|
# 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.
|
|
# For what it's worth, Shanks says that Atikokan has agreed with
|
|
# Rainy River ever since standard time was introduced.
|
|
|
|
# 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.
|
|
# They also write that Quebec east of the -63 meridian is supposed to
|
|
# observe AST, but residents as far east as Natashquan use EST/EDT,
|
|
# and residents east of Natashquan use AST.
|
|
# We probably need Zones for far east Quebec and for Atikokan,
|
|
# but we don't know when their practices started.

# Saskatchewan
|
|
|
|
# From Mark Brader (2003-07-26):
|
|
# The first actual adoption of DST in Canada was at the municipal
|
|
# level. As the [Toronto] Star put it (1912-06-07), "While people
|
|
# elsewhere have long been talking of legislation to save daylight,
|
|
# the city of Moose Jaw [Saskatchewan] has acted on its own hook."
|
|
# DST in Moose Jaw began on Saturday, 1912-06-01 (no time mentioned:
|
|
# presumably late evening, as below), and would run until "the end of
|
|
# the summer". The discrepancy between municipal time and railroad
|
|
# time was noted.
|
|
|
|
# From Paul Eggert (2003-07-27):
|
|
# Willett (1914-03) notes that DST "has been in operation ... in the
|
|
# City of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, for one year."
|
|
|
|
# From Paul Eggert (2000-10-02):
|
|
# Shanks writes that since 1970 most of this region has been like Regina.
|
|
# Some western towns (e.g. Swift Current) switched from MST/MDT to CST in 1972.
|
|
# Other western towns (e.g. Lloydminster) are like Edmonton.
|
|
# Matthews and Vincent (1998) write that Denare Beach and Creighton
|
|
# are like Winnipeg, in violation of Saskatchewan law.
|
|
|
|
# From W. Jones <jones@skdad.usask.ca> (1992-11-06):
|
|
# The. . .below is based on information I got from our law library, the
|
|
# provincial archives, and the provincial Community Services department.
|
|
# A precise history would require digging through newspaper archives, and
|
|
# since you didn't say what you wanted, I didn't bother.
|
|
#
|
|
# Saskatchewan is split by a time zone meridian (105W) and over the years
|
|
# the boundary became pretty ragged as communities near it reevaluated
|
|
# their affiliations in one direction or the other. In 1965 a provincial
|
|
# referendum favoured legislating common time practices.
|
|
#
|
|
# On 15 April 1966 the Time Act (c. T-14, Revised Statutes of
|
|
# Saskatchewan 1978) was proclaimed, and established that the eastern
|
|
# part of Saskatchewan would use CST year round, that districts in
|
|
# northwest Saskatchewan would by default follow CST but could opt to
|
|
# follow Mountain Time rules (thus 1 hour difference in the winter and
|
|
# zero in the summer), and that districts in southwest Saskatchewan would
|
|
# by default follow MT but could opt to follow CST.
|
|
#
|
|
# It took a few years for the dust to settle (I know one story of a town
|
|
# on one time zone having its school in another, such that a mom had to
|
|
# serve her family lunch in two shifts), but presently it seems that only
|
|
# a few towns on the border with Alberta (e.g. Lloydminster) follow MT
|
|
# rules any more; all other districts appear to have used CST year round
|
|
# since sometime in the 1960s.

|
# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-05):
|
|
# The Investigation and Analysis Service of the
|
|
# Mexican Library of Congress (MLoC) has published a
|
|
# <a href="http://www.cddhcu.gob.mx/bibliot/publica/inveyana/polisoc/horver/">
|
|
# history of Mexican local time (in Spanish)
|
|
# </a>.
|
|
#
|
|
# Here are the discrepancies between Shanks and the MLoC.
|
|
# (In all cases we go with the MLoC.)
|
|
# Shanks reports that Baja was at -8:00 in 1922/1923.
|
|
# Shanks says the 1930 transition in Baja was 1930-11-16.
|
|
# Shanks reports no DST during summer 1931.
|
|
# Shanks reports a transition at 1032-03-30 23:00, not 1932-04-01.
|
|
# Shanks does not report transitions for Baja in 1945 or 1948.
|
|
# Shanks reports southern Mexico transitions on 1981-12-01, not 12-23.
|
|
# Shanks says Quintana Roo switched to -6:00 on 1982-12-02, and to -5:00
|
|
# on 1997-10-26 at 02:00.
|
|
|
|
# From Gwillim Law (2001-02-20):
|
|
# There are some other discrepancies between the Decrees page and the
|
|
# tz database. I think they can best be explained by supposing that
|
|
# the researchers who prepared the Decrees page failed to find some of
|
|
# the relevant documents.
|
|
|
|
# From Paul Eggert (2000-07-26):
|
|
# Shanks gives 1942-04-01 instead of 1942-04-24, and omits the 1981
|
|
# and 1988 DST experiments. Go with spin.com.mx.

|
|
#
|
|
# I finally got my hands on the Official Presidential Decree that sets up the
|
|
# rules for the DST changes. The rules are:
|
|
#
|
|
# 1. The country is divided in 3 timezones:
|
|
# - Baja California Norte (the Mexico/BajaNorte TZ)
|
|
# - Baja California Sur, Nayarit, Sinaloa and Sonora (the Mexico/BajaSur TZ)
|
|
# - The rest of the country (the Mexico/General TZ)
|
|
#
|
|
# 2. From the first Sunday in April at 2:00 AM to the last Sunday in October
|
|
# at 2:00 AM, the times in each zone are as follows:
|
|
# BajaNorte: GMT+7
|
|
# BajaSur: GMT+6
|
|
# General: GMT+5
|
|
#
|
|
# 3. The rest of the year, the times are as follows:
|
|
# BajaNorte: GMT+8
|
|
# BajaSur: GMT+7
|
|
# General: GMT+6
|
|
#
|
|
# The Decree was published in Mexico's Official Newspaper on January 4th.

# Effective April 4, 1999 at 2:00 AM local time, Sonora changed to the time

# zone 5 hours from the International Date Line, and will not observe daylight
|
|

# </a>
|
|
# * Sonora will continue to observe standard time.
|
|
# * Last week Mexico City's mayor Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador decreed that

# I found some references to the Mexican application of daylight

# From Reuters (2001-09-04):
|

# Mexico's Supreme Court on Tuesday declared that daylight savings was

# next year.... The Supreme Court's ruling takes effect at 2:00

# a.m. (0800 GMT) on Sept. 30, when Mexico is scheduled to revert to

# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-05):
|
|
# Formerly there was an America/Ensenada zone, which differed from
|
|
# America/Tijuana only in that it did not observe DST from 1976
|
|
# through 1995. This was as per Shanks. However, Guy Harris reports
|
|
# that the 1987 OAG says "Only Ensenada, Mexicale, San Felipe and
|
|
# Tijuana observe DST," which contradicts Shanks but does imply that
|
|
# DST-observance was a town-by-town matter back then. This concerns
|
|
# data after 1970 so most likely there should be at least one Zone
|
|
# other than America/Tijuana for Baja, but it's not clear yet what its
|
|
# name or contents should be.

# Dominican Republic changed its mind and presidential decree on Tuesday,

|
# Dominican Republic will be reverting to 8 hours from the International Date

# Line, and will not be using DST in the foreseeable future. The reason they
|
|
# decided to use DST was to be in synch with Puerto Rico, who was also going
|
|
# to implement DST. When Puerto Rico didn't implement DST, the president
|
|
# decided to revert.
