# From Paul Eggert (1999-03-22): # A reliable and entertaining source about time zones is # Derek Howse, Greenwich time and longitude, Philip Wilson Publishers (1997).
# 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 in1872-05 he moved the proposed origin to Greenwich.
# From Paul Eggert (2018-03-20): # Dowd's proposal left many details unresolved, such as where to draw # lines between time zones. The key individual who made time zones # work in the US was William Frederick Allen - railway engineer, # managing editor of the Travelers' Guide, and secretary of the # General Time Convention, a railway standardization group. Allen # spent months in dialogs with scientific and railway leaders, # developed a workable plan to institute time zones, and presented it # to the General Time Convention on 1883-04-11, saying that his plan # meant "local time would be practically abolished" - a plus for # railway scheduling. By the next convention on 1883-10-11 nearly all # railroads had agreed and it took effect on 1883-11-18. That Sunday # was called the "day of two noons", as some locations observed noon # twice. Allen witnessed the transition in New York City, writing:
java.lang.NullPointerException # I heard the bells of St. Paul's strike on the old time. Four # minutes later, obedient to the electrical signal from the Naval # Observatory ... the time-ball made its rapid descent, the chimes # of old Trinity rang twelve measured strokes, and local time was # abandoned, probably forever.
java.lang.NullPointerException # Most of the US soon followed suit. See: # Bartky IR. The adoption of standard time. Technol Cult 1989 Jan;30(1):25-56. # https://dx.doi.org/10.2307/3105430
# From Paul Eggert (2005-04-16): # That 1883 transition occurred at 12:00 new time, not at 12:00 old time. # See p 46 of David Prerau, Seize the daylight, Thunder's Mouth Press (2005).
# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22): # 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 most of the pre-1991 US 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:
java.lang.NullPointerException # 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.
java.lang.NullPointerException # -- Robertson Davies, The diary of Samuel Marchbanks, # Clarke, Irwin (1947), XIX, Sunday
java.lang.NullPointerException # For more about the first ten years of DST in the United States, see # Robert Garland, Ten years of daylight saving from the Pittsburgh standpoint # (Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, 1927). # https://web.archive.org/web/20160517155308/http://www.clpgh.org/exhibit/dst.html
java.lang.NullPointerException # Shanks says that DST was called "War Time"in the US in1918 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 Paul Eggert (2019-06-04): # Here is the legal basis for the US federal rules. # * Public Law 65-106 (1918-03-19) implemented standard and daylight saving # time for the first time across the US, springing forward on March's last # Sunday and falling back on October's last Sunday. # https://www.loc.gov/law/help/statutes-at-large/65th-congress/session-2/c65s2ch24.pdf # * Public Law 66-40 (1919-08-20) repealed DST on October 1919's last Sunday. # https://www.loc.gov/law/help/statutes-at-large/66th-congress/session-1/c66s1ch51.pdf # * Public Law 77-403 (1942-01-20) started wartime DST on 1942-02-09. # https://www.loc.gov/law/help/statutes-at-large/77th-congress/session-2/c77s2ch7.pdf # * Public Law 79-187 (1945-09-25) ended wartime DST on 1945-09-30. # https://www.loc.gov/law/help/statutes-at-large/79th-congress/session-1/c79s1ch388.pdf # * Public Law 89-387 (1966-04-13) reinstituted a national standard for DST, # from April's last Sunday to October's last Sunday, effective 1967. # https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/STATUTE-80/pdf/STATUTE-80-Pg107.pdf # * Public Law 93-182 (1973-12-15) moved the 1974 spring-forward to 01-06. # https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/STATUTE-87/pdf/STATUTE-87-Pg707.pdf # * Public Law 93-434 (1974-10-05) moved the 1975 spring-forward to # February's last Sunday. # https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/STATUTE-88/pdf/STATUTE-88-Pg1209.pdf # * Public Law 99-359 (1986-07-08) moved the spring-forward to April's first # Sunday. # https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/STATUTE-100/pdf/STATUTE-100-Pg764.pdf # * Public Law 109-58 (2005-08-08), effective 2007, moved the spring-forward # to March's second Sunday and the fall-back to November's first Sunday. # https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/PLAW-109publ58/pdf/PLAW-109publ58.pdf # All transitions are at 02:00 local time.
# From Arthur David Olson: # Before the Uniform Time Act of 1966 took effect in1967, 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: # https://web.archive.org/web/20000926032210/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." # (August 1945) by way of confirmation.
java.lang.NullPointerException # From Paul Eggert (2017-09-23): # This was the V-J Day issue of the Clamdigger, a Rowayton, CT newsletter.
# From Joseph Gallant 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:
java.lang.NullPointerException # ... 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."
java.lang.NullPointerException # 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."
java.lang.NullPointerException # He had scored a 20-second scoop on other broadcasters.
# From Arthur David Olson (2005-08-22): # Paul has been careful to use the "US" rules only in those locations # that are part of the United States; this reflects the real scope of # U.S. government action. So even though the "US" rules have changed # in the latest release, other countries won't be affected.

# west Labrador, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward I, # Îles-de-la-Madeleine, Listuguj reserve
# From Brian Inglis (2015-07-20): # From the historical weather station records available at: # https://weatherspark.com/history/28351/1971/Sydney-Nova-Scotia-Canada # Sydney shares the same time history as Glace Bay, so was # likely to be the same across the island.... # Sydney, as the capital and most populous location, or Cape Breton, would # have been better names for the zone had we known this in1996.
# From Paul Eggert (2015-07-20): # Shanks & Pottenger write that since 1970 most of this region has been like # Halifax. Many locales did not observe peacetime DST until 1972; # the Cape Breton area, represented by Glace Bay, is the largest we know of # (Glace Bay was perhaps not the best name choice but no point changing now). # Shanks & Pottenger also write that Liverpool, NS was the only town # in Canada to observe DST in1971 but not 1970; for now we'll assume # this is a typo.
# From Jeffery Nichols (2020-01-09): # America/Halifax ... also applies to Îles-de-la-Madeleine and the Listuguj # reserve in Quebec. Officially, this came into effect on January 1, 2007 # (Legal Time Act, CQLR c T-5.1), but the legislative debates surrounding that # bill say that it is "accommodating the customs and practices" of those # regions, which suggests that they have always been in-line with Halifax.

# 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 (2019-07-25): # Pearce's book says Regina observed DST in 1914-1917. No dates and times, # unfortunately. It also says that in1914 Saskatoon observed DST # from 1 June to 6 July, and that DST was also tried out in Davidson, # Melfort, and Prince Albert.
# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22): # Shanks & Pottenger say that since 1970 this region has mostly been as Regina. # Some western towns (e.g. Swift Current) switched from MST/MDT to CST in1972. # 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 (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.
java.lang.NullPointerException # 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. In1965 a provincial # referendum favoured legislating common time practices.
java.lang.NullPointerException # 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.
java.lang.NullPointerException # 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 Chris Walton (2006-06-26): # The Saskatchewan time act which was last updated in1996 is about 30 pages # long and rather painful to read. # http://www.qp.gov.sk.ca/documents/English/Statutes/Statutes/T14.pdf

# From <http://www.nunatsiaqonline.ca/archives/nunavut001130/nvt21110_02.html> # Nunavut now has two time zones (2000-11-10): # The Nunavut government would allow its employees in Kugluktuk and # Cambridge Bay to operate on central time year-round, putting them # one hour behind the rest of Nunavut for six months during the winter. # At the end of October the two communities had rebelled against # Nunavut's unified time zone, refusing to shift to eastern time with # the rest of the territory for the winter.

# From Gwillim Law (2005-05-21): # According to ... # http://www.canadiangeographic.ca/Magazine/SO98/geomap.asp # (from a 1998 Canadian Geographic article), the de facto and de jure time # for Southampton Island (at the north end of Hudson Bay) is UTC-5 all year # round. Using Google, it's easy to find other websites that confirm this. # I wasn't able to find how far back this time regimen goes, but since it # predates the creation of Nunavut, it probably goes back many years.... # The Inuktitut name of Coral Harbour is Sallit, but it's rarely used.
java.lang.NullPointerException # From Paul Eggert (2014-10-17): # For lack of better information, assume that Southampton Island observed # daylight saving only during wartime. Gwillim Law's email also # mentioned maps now maintained by National Research Council Canada; # see above for an up-to-date link.
# From Chris Walton (2007-03-01): # ... the community of Resolute (located on Cornwallis Island in # Nunavut) moved from Central Time to Eastern Time last November. # Basically the community did not change its clocks at the end of # daylight saving.... # http://www.nnsl.com/frames/newspapers/2006-11/nov13_06none.html
# From Chris Walton (2011-03-21): # Back in2007 I initiated the creation of a new "zone file"for Resolute # Bay. Resolute Bay is a small community located about 900km north of # the Arctic Circle. The zone file was required because Resolute Bay had # decided to use UTC-5 instead of UTC-6for the winter of 2006-2007.
java.lang.NullPointerException # According to new information which I received last week, Resolute Bay # went back to using UTC-6in the winter of 2007-2008...
java.lang.NullPointerException # On March 11/2007 most of Canada went onto daylight saving. On March # 14/2007 I phoned the Resolute Bay hamlet office to do a "time check." I # talked to somebody that was both knowledgeable and helpful. I was able # to confirm that Resolute Bay was still operating on UTC-5. It was # explained to me that Resolute Bay had been on the Eastern Time zone # (EST) in the winter, and was now back on the Central Time zone (CDT). # i.e. the time zone had changed twice in the last year but the clocks # had not moved. The residents had to know which time zone they were in # so they could follow the correct TV schedule...
java.lang.NullPointerException # On Nov 02/2008 most of Canada went onto standard time. On Nov 03/2008 I # phoned the Resolute Bay hamlet office...[D]ue to the challenging nature # of the phone call, I decided to seek out an alternate source of # information. I found an e-mail address for somebody by the name of # Stephanie Adams whose job was listed as"Inns North Support Officer for # Arctic Co-operatives." I was under the impression that Stephanie lived # and worked in Resolute Bay...
java.lang.NullPointerException # On March 14/2011 I phoned the hamlet office again. I was told that # Resolute Bay had been using Central Standard Time over the winter of # 2010-2011 and that the clocks had therefore been moved one hour ahead # on March 13/2011. The person I talked to was aware that Resolute Bay # had previously experimented with Eastern Standard Time but he could not # tell me when the practice had stopped.
java.lang.NullPointerException # On March 17/2011 I searched the Web to find an e-mail address of # somebody that might be able to tell me exactly when Resolute Bay went # off Eastern Standard Time. I stumbled on the name "Aziz Kheraj." Aziz # used to be the mayor of Resolute Bay and he apparently owns half the # businesses including "South Camp Inn." This website has some info on # Aziz: # http://www.uphere.ca/node/493
java.lang.NullPointerException # I sent Aziz an e-mail asking when Resolute Bay had stopped using # Eastern Standard Time.
java.lang.NullPointerException # Aziz responded quickly with this: "hi, The time was not changed for the # 1 year only, the following year, the community went back to the old way # of "spring ahead-fall behind" currently we are zulu plus 5 hrs and in # the winter Zulu plus 6 hrs"
java.lang.NullPointerException # This of course conflicted with everything I had ascertained in November 2008.
java.lang.NullPointerException # I sent Aziz a copy of my 2008 e-mail exchange with Stephanie. Aziz # responded with this: "Hi, Stephanie lives in Winnipeg. I live here, You # may want to check with the weather office in Resolute Bay or do a # search on the weather through Env. Canada. web site"
java.lang.NullPointerException # If I had realized the Stephanie did not live in Resolute Bay I would # never have contacted her. I now believe that all the information I # obtained in November 2008 should be ignored... # I apologize for reporting incorrect information in2008.
# From Tim Parenti (2020-03-05): # The government of Yukon announced [yesterday] the cessation of seasonal time # changes. "After clocks are pushed ahead one hour on March 8, the territory # will remain on [UTC-07]. ... [The government] found 93 per cent of # respondents wanted to end seasonal time changes and, of that group, 70 per # cent wanted 'permanent Pacific Daylight Saving Time.'" # https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/yukon-end-daylight-saving-time-1.5486358
java.lang.NullPointerException # Although the government press release prefers PDT, we prefer MST for # consistency with nearby Dawson Creek, Creston, and Fort Nelson. # https://yukon.ca/en/news/yukon-end-seasonal-time-change
# From Andrew G. Smith (2020-09-24): # Yukon has completed its regulatory change to be on UTC -7 year-round.... # http://www.gov.yk.ca/legislation/regs/oic2020_125.pdf # What we have done is re-defined Yukon Standard Time, as we are # authorized to do under section 33 of our Interpretation Act: # http://www.gov.yk.ca/legislation/acts/interpretation_c.pdf
java.lang.NullPointerException # From Paul Eggert (2020-09-24): # tzdb uses the obsolete YST abbreviation for standard time in Yukon through # about 1970, and uses PST for standard time in Yukon since then. Consistent # with that, use MST for -07, the new standard time in Yukon effective Nov. 1.

java.lang.NullPointerException # "The Prime Minister's Communication Office notifies the public in general # and the press in particular that, following a decision of the Interior # Ministry and the Territorial Collectivities [I suppose that means the # provinces], Haiti will move to Eastern Daylight Time in the night from next # Saturday the 2nd to Sunday the 3rd.
java.lang.NullPointerException # "Consequently, the Prime Minister's Communication Office wishes to inform # the population that the country's clocks will be set forward one hour # starting at midnight. This provision will hold until the last Saturday in # October 2005.
java.lang.NullPointerException # "Port-au-Prince, March 31, 2005"
java.lang.NullPointerException # From Steffen Thorsen (2006-04-04): # I have been informed by users that Haiti observes DST this year like # last year, so the current "only" rule for2005 might be changed to a # "max" rule or to last until 2006. (Who knows if they will observe DST # next year or if they will extend their DST like US/Canada next year).
java.lang.NullPointerException # I have found this article about it (in French): # http://www.haitipressnetwork.com/news.cfm?articleID=7612
java.lang.NullPointerException # The reason seems to be an energy crisis.
# From Stephen Colebourne (2007-02-22): # Some IATA info: Haiti won't be having DST in 2007.
# From Steffen Thorsen (2012-03-11): # According to several news sources, Haiti will observe DST this year, # apparently using the same start and end date as USA/Canada. # So this means they have already changed their time.

# From Steffen Thorsen (2013-03-10): # It appears that Haiti is observing DST this year as well, same rules # as US/Canada. They did it last year as well, and it looks like they # are going to observe DST every year now...
